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.

A high pH value indicates _____.
Mumz [18]

Answer:

A high pH value indicates a high concentration of OH- ion

Explanation:

The higher the OH- ion concentration high will be the pH.In simple words if the concentration of OH- ions are increased then the pH of the solution will also increase which means the solution will turns towards basic with increasing its OH- ion concentration.

  Let us assume that the OH- concentration of a solution is  10-9  so the pOH of that solution will be 9 and the pH will be 5.

  Now the concentration of OH-ion of that solution is increased from 10-9 to 10-8 now the pOH of that solution is 8 and the pH is 6.

The process by which hot and cold air are transferred in the atmosphere is
Elan Coil [88]

Convection: the movement caused within a fluid by the tendency of hotter and therefore less dense material to rise, and colder, denser material to sink under the influence of gravity, which consequently results in transfer of heat.

hope that helps :)

What is colligative property? why does theproperty changes the way that it does when the amount of solute is increased. State an
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Colligative properties are those substances that depend on the number of substances in the solution, not in the identity of that substance. The property changes the way that it does when the amount of solute is increased because it enables the solute to be scattered more. For example, the freezing point of salt water is lower than that of the pure water due to the salt ions present in water.
