Answer:

The molarity is 6.0 M.

Explanation:

<em>The </em><em>concentration</em><em> of a solution is the amount of solute present in a given amount  of solvent, or a given amount of solution.</em>

In this problem, we are asked to convert percent by mass to molarity, which are two different concentration units.

<em>The </em><em>percent by mass </em><em>is the ratio of the mass of a solute to the mass of the solution, multiplied by 100 percent.</em> On the other hand, <em>molarity (M)</em><em> is defined as the number of moles of solute per liter of solution.</em>

If we have 17.15 percent chloride ion, that means that we have 17.15 grams of chloride ion in 100 grams of solution. The density provided is the density of the solution, so we calculate how many mL correspond to 100 grams of solution:

1.23 g ----------- 1 mL

100 g ------------ <u>x= 81.3 mL</u>

Therefore, 17.5 grams of chloride ion are contained in 81.3 mL. Now we need to convert these grams into moles.

The atomic mass of chlorine is 35.5 g/mol:

35.5 g --------------- 1 mol

17.5 g --------------- <u>x= 0. 49 mol</u>

This 0.49 moles are contained in 81.13 mL, the definition of molarity says that this moles are contained in a liter (or what is the same, 1000 mL):

81.3 mL --------------- 0.49 mol

1000 mL ------------- x= 6.0 M

The molarity of the chloride ion will be 6.0 M.

Answer:

305 litres of NO gas will be produced from 916 L of NO₂

Explanation:

Given the balanced equation of the chemical reaction as follows:

3 NO₂ (g) + H₂O( l) —— 2 HNO₃ (l) + NO (g)

Under standard conditions, 3 moles of No₂ will react with 1 mole of water to produce 1 mole of NO gas.

Molar volume of a gas at STP is 22.4 L

Number of moles of NO₂ gas present in 916 L = 916/22.4 = 40.893 moles of NO₂ gas

From the mole ratio of NO₂ to NO in the equation of reaction,

Number of moles of NO that will be produced = 1/3 × 40.893 moles = 13.631 moles of NO gas

Volume of 13.631 moles of NO gas = 13.631 × 22.4

Volume of NO gas produced = 305.334L

Therefore, Volume of NO gas produced from the reaction of 916 L of NO₂ with water = 305 L
