Answer:

0.0000101 grams.

Explanation:

First of all, use Avogadro's number to convert from molecules to moles.

Avogadro's number is 6.02 x 10^23.

Second of all, to convert from moles to grams, find the substance formula of phosphorus trichloride. After finding the substance formula, then find the molar mass of phosphorus trichloride.

Phosphorus trichloride is PCl3

Now find the molar mass of PCl3

P = 31.0 amu

Cl = 35.5 amu

They are three chlorine atoms and one phosphorus atom. So you do this.

31.0(1) + 35.5(3) = 137.5 g/mol

Now use dimensional analysis to show your work

4.6 x 10^16 grams of PCl3 * 1 mol/ 6.02 x 10^23 * 137.5 g/mol / 1 mol

The grams and the moles cancel out.

So now do [(4.6 x 10^16) / (6.02 x 10^23)] x 137.5

and you will get 0.000010507

4.6 has the fewest digits which is 2.

So use sig figs and the answer rounds to the nearest millionths.

0.000010507 rounds to 0.0000101

So the final answer is 0.0000101 grams(don't forget the units)

Hope it helped!

Maslowich

Answer:

0.0144 M

1440 ppm

Explanation:

Ca(In)²⁺ + EDTA → Ca(EDTA)²⁺ + In

We use the volume of EDTA consumed in the titration to <u>calculate the moles of Ca⁺² ions</u>:

0.012 L * 0.0600 M * $\frac{1molCa^{+2}}{1molEDTA}$ = 7.20x10⁻⁴ mol Ca⁺²

Now we <u>calculate the molarity</u>:

7.20x10⁻⁴ mol Ca⁺² / 0.050 L = 0.0144 M

To calculate in ppm, we <u>use the moles of Ca⁺² and convert to mg of CaCO₃:</u>

7.20x10⁻⁴ mol Ca⁺² = 7.20x10⁻⁴ mol CaCO₃

7.20x10⁻⁴ mol CaCO₃ * 100g/mol * $\frac{1000mg}{1g}$ = 72 mg CaCO₃

Finally, <u>the concentration in ppm</u> is:

72 mg CaCO₃ / 0.050L = 1440 ppm

Viefleur [7K]

A vessel that contains a mixture of nitrogen and butane has a pressure of 3.0 atm at 126.9 °C and a pressure of 1.0 atm at 0 °C. The mole fraction of nitrogen in the mixture is 0.33.

A vessel contains a gaseous mixture of nitrogen and butane. At 126.9 °C (400.1 K) the pressure is due to the mixture is 3.0 atm.

We can calculate the total number of moles using the ideal gas equation.

$P \times V = n \times R \times T\\\\n = \frac{P \times V}{R \times T} = \frac{3.0 atm \times V}{0.082 atm.L/mol.K \times 400.1 K} = 0.091 mol/L \times V$

At 0 °C (273.15 K), the pressure due to the gaseous nitrogen is 1.0 atm.

We can calculate the moles of nitrogen using the ideal gas equation.

$P \times V = n \times R \times T\\\\n = \frac{P \times V}{R \times T} = \frac{1.0 atm \times V}{0.082 atm.L/mol.K \times 400.1 K} = 0.030 mol/L \times V$

The mole fraction of nitrogen in the mixture is:

$X(N_2) = \frac{0.030 mol/L \times V}{0.091 mol/L \times V} = 0.33$

Answer:

The bones of the skull and spinal column

Explanation:

The central nervous system is better protected than any other system or organ in the body. Its main line of defense is the bones of the skull and spinal column, which create a hard physical barrier to injury.

Calculate the molarity of a solution prepared by dissolving 0.2 mol sucrose in enough water to make a 100 ml solution.

Lelechka [254]

Taking into account the definition of molarity, the molarity of a solution prepared by dissolving 0.2 mol sucrose in enough water to make a 100 mL solution is 2 $\frac{moles}{liter}$ .

<h3>Definition of molarity</h3>

Molar concentration or molarity is a measure of the concentration of a solute in a solution and indicates the number of moles of solute that are dissolved in a given volume.

The molarity of a solution is calculated by dividing the moles of solute by the volume of the solution:

$molarity=\frac{number of moles}{volume}$
