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.

How many protons, neutrons, and electrons could an isotope of this atom contain?
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

The atomic number on the Periodic Table identifies the number of protons in any atom of that element. Copper, atomic number 29, has 29 protons. Finding the atomic number of an element reveals the number of protons.

To find the number of neutrons in the atom, subtract the atomic number from the atomic mass.

What are the missing coefficients for the skeleton equation below? Cr(s)+Fe(NO3)2(aq)&gt;Fe(s)+Cr(NO3)3(aq)
Stolb23 [73]

Answer:

2 Cr(s) + 3 Fe(NO3)2(aq) = 3 Fe(s) + 2 Cr(NO3)3(aq)

Explanation:

I balanced this chemical equation so that both sides are equal, meaning that the mass of reactants is equal to mass of products.

Warm Up: Compete this conversion. Put just the number below *
Gwar [14]

Answer:

4 1/2

Explanation:

Use a ratio to find your answer

 4          6

-----  =  -------

 3           x

Cross multiply to solve for x.

4x = 18

x = 18/4

x = 4 2/4  which is the same as 4 1/2
