You are given a 1.55 g mixture of calcium nitrate and calcium chloride. You dissolve this mixture in 20 mL of water and add an e

xcess of 0.300 M silver nitrate. You collect and dry the resulting precipitate and determine it has a mass of 0.535 grams. Calculate the percent calcium chloride in the original mixture.

Answer:

13.4 (w/w)% of CaCl₂ in the mixture

Explanation:

All the Cl⁻ that comes from CaCl₂ (Calcium chloride) will be precipitate in presence of AgNO₃ as AgCl.

To solve this problem we must find the moles of AgCl = Moles of Cl⁻. As 2 moles of Cl⁻ are in 1 mole of CaCl₂ we can find the moles of CaCl₂ and its mass in order to find mass percent of calcium chloride in the original mixture.

<em>Moles AgCl - Molar mass: 143.32g/mol -:</em>

0.535g * (1mol / 143.32g) = 3.733x10⁻³ moles AgCl = Moles Cl⁻

<em>Moles CaCl₂:</em>

3.733x10⁻³ moles Cl⁻ * (1mol CaCl₂ / 2mol Cl⁻) = 1.866x10⁻³ moles CaCl₂

<em>Mass CaCl₂ -Molar mass: 110.98g/mol-:</em>

1.866x10⁻³ moles CaCl₂ * (110.98g/mol) = 0.207g of CaCl₂ in the mixture

That means mass percent of CaCl₂ is:

0.207g CaCl₂ / 1.55g * 100 =

<h3>13.4 (w/w)% of CaCl₂ in the mixture</h3>

What is the mole fraction of acetic acid in a solution containing 2 moles of vinegar and 3 moles of water? A. 2 B. 3 C. 0.4 D. 0
9966 [12]

Answer:

C. 0.4.

Explanation:

<em>∵ mole fraction of acetic acid (X acetic acid) = (no. of moles acetic acid)/(total no. of moles) = (no. of moles acetic acid)/(no. of moles of acetic acid + no. of moles of water).</em>

<em></em>

- no. of moles of acetic acid = 2, no. of moles of water = 3.

- Total no. of moles = no. of moles of acetic acid + no. of moles of water = 2 + 3 = 5.

<em>∴ mole fraction of acetic acid (X acetic acid) = (no. of moles acetic acid)/(total no. of moles) =</em> (2)/(5)<em> = 0.4.</em>

All of the questions here are pertaining to the colligative properties of a solution and the preparation of solutions. Maybe, it would be best if you understand the equations to be used in order to answer these questions.<span>
Freezing point depression or Boiling point elevation:

</span><span>ΔT = -K (m) (i)

</span>ΔT is the change in the freezing point or the boiling point not the freezing point/boiling point. Therefore, it should be added to the original value of the property of the solvent. 
<span>
K is a constant called the molal freezing point depression constant and for the boiling point is the boiling point elevation constant. It is a property of the solvent. 
</span><span>
m is the concentration of the solute in the solvent in terms of molality or kg solute/kg solvent. 
</span><span>
i is the vant hoff factor which will represent the number of ions which the solute dissociates when in solution.</span>

Circle the letter next to each sentence that is true concerning the compressibility of gases. a. The large relative distances be
Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Answer:

The large relative distances between particles in a gas means that there is considerable empty space between the particles.

The assumption that particles in a gas are relatively far apart explains gas compressibility.

Compressibility is a measure of how much the volume of matter decreases under pressure.

Energy is released by a gas when it is compressed

Explanation:

The kinetic molecular theory establishes that gases are composed of molecules. These molecules of gas are far apart from each other hence there is a considerable empty space between the gas molecules. As a result of these empty spaces between gas molecules, it is possible to compress a gas.

Compressibility is defined as a measure of how much the volume of matter decreases under pressure. When a gas is compressed, work is done on the gas and energy is evolved hence the gas heats up.
