The freezing point of camphor is 178.4�c and its molal freezing point depression constant (kf) is 37.7�c�kg/mol. how many grams

of naphthalene (c10h8; molar mass = 128.17 g/mol; a solute, not the solvent, in this question) should be mixed with 12.0 g of camphor to lower the freezing point to 170.0 �c?

Answer :

The correct answer is : 0.34 g of naphthalene .

Step 1 : To find molaity of solution using freezing point depression formula .

The formula for Freezing point depression is :ΔTf = kf * m

where , ΔTf = Freezing point of solvent - freezing point of solution

kf = freezing point depression constant and m = molality .

Given : Freezing point of solvent (camphor ) = 178.4 °C

Freezing point of solution ( naphthalene in camphor) = 170.0°C

kf for camphor = 37.7 °C Kg /mol

Plugging values in ΔTf - kf *m

178.4 °C - 170.0°C = 37.7 °C Kg/mol * m

8.4 °C = 37.7 °C Kg/mol * m

Dividing both side by 37.7 °C Kg/mol to isolate m

8.4 °C /37.7°C Kg/mol = 37.7 °C Kg/mol / 37.7 °C Kg/mol * m

m (molality ) = 0.22 mol/Kg

Step 2 : To find moles from molality .

Molality is moles of naphthalene ( solute ) present in kilograms of camphor (solvent ) . Formula of molality is : moles of solute / kilograms of solvent

Given mass of camphor = 12 g or 0.012 Kg ( 1 g = 0.001 Kg )

Plugging value in formula => 0.22 mol /Kg = mole of solute / 0.012Kg

mole of solute = 0.22 mol/Kg x 0.012 Kg = 0.00264 mol

Step 3 : To convert mole of naphthalene to its mass :

mass = mole x molar mass

Mass = 0.00264 mol x 128.17 g/mol

Mass of naphthalene to be added = 0.34 g

According to the law of conservation of mass, what is the same on both sides of a balanced chemical equation?
Firlakuza [10]

According to the law of conservation of mass, what is the same on both sides of a balanced chemical equation?

A. the volume of the substances

B. the subscripts

C. the total mass of atoms

D. the coefficients

Answer:

A balanced equation demonstrates the conservation of mass by having the same number of each type of atom on both sides of the arrow.

Explanation:

Every chemical equation adheres to the law of conservation of mass, which states that matter cannot be created or destroyed. ... Use coefficients of products and reactants to balance the number of atoms of an element on both sides of a chemical equation.

Consider the balanced equation for the combustion of methane.

CH

4

+

2O

2

→

CO

2

+

2H

2

O


All balanced chemical equations must have the same number of each type of atom on both sides of the arrow.


In this equation, we have 1

C

atom, 4

H

atoms, and 4

O

atoms on each side of the arrow.


The number of atoms does not change, so the total mass of all the atoms is the same before and after the reaction. Mass is conserved.


Here is a video that discusses the importance of balancing a chemical equation.

What types of chemical<br> reactions can change a toxic<br> chemical into one that is less<br> toxic
Masteriza [31]

Answer:

Very toxic materials are substances that may cause significant harm or even death to an individual if even very small amounts enter the body.There are a number of very toxic materials that may be used in workplaces. Some examples include carbon monoxide, hydrogen sulfide, chlorine and sodium cyanide

Explanation:

here are generally four types of toxic entities; chemical, biological, physical and radiation: Chemical toxicants include inorganic substances such as, lead, mercury, hydrofluoric acid, and chlorine gas, and organic compounds such as methyl alcohol, most medications, and toxins.
