What is the mole fraction, x, of solute and the molality, m (or b), for an aqueous solution that is 19.0% naoh by mass?

1 answer:

5 0

We will assume that the solvent is water. So, if we have 100 grams of the solution, 19 grams will be sodium hydroxide, while the remaining 81 grams will be water.

The molar weight of sodium hydroxide, NaOH, is 40. The molar weight of water is 18. Finding the moles of each:

NaOH:
19 / 40 = 0.475

Water:
81 / 18 = 4.5

Total moles present:
4.5 + 0.475 = 4.975 moles

The mole fraction of NaOH is:
0.475 / 4.975 = 0.0955

The mole fraction of NaOH is 0.0955

Which statement correctly compares an atom of an alkali metal with an atom of the alkaline earth metal next to it on the periodi

Vladimir79 [104]

The atom of alkaline earth metal has one more proton and one more electron than the alkali metal that is next to it to the left on the periodic table. Then the atomic number of the alkali metal is one unit less than the atomic number of the alkaline earth metal next to it

Which type of orbitals overlap to form the sigma bond between C and N in H−C≡N:? Which type of orbitals overlap to form the sigm

zysi [14]

Explanation:

When carbon atom tends to form single bonds then its hybridization is $sp^{3}$ , when carbon atom tends to form double bond then its hybridization is $sp^{2}$ and when a carbon atom is attached to a triple bond or with two double bonds then its hydridization is sp.

For example, in HCN molecule there is a triple existing between the carbon and nitrogen atom.

So, hybridization of carbon in this molecules is sp. Moreover, nitrogen atom is also attached via triple bond and it also has a lone pair of electrons. Hence, the hybridization of nitrogen atom is also sp.

Thus, we can conclude that s and p type of orbitals overlap to form the sigma bond between C and N in H−C≡N:

How might the molecules inside an ice pack be different from the liquid inside of an insulated cup?

MatroZZZ [7]

Answer:

The molecules inside the ice pack are frozen therefore they are stuck in place. The molecules inside an insulated cup aren't frozen but still stuck inside of their container so that they can not fly out.
