Answer:

The three main rock types are igneous, metamorphic and sedimentary. The three processes that change one rock to another are crystallization, metamorphism, and erosion and sedimentation. Any rock can transform into any other rock by passing through one or more of these processes. This creates the rock cycle. Also, new minerals can grow in the spaces within the material, cementing it together. Some sedimentary rocks form in other ways, as when water evaporates, leaving behind minerals that were dissolved in it. (MEHT-uh-MAWR-fihk) forms when heat or pressure causes older rocks to change into new types of rock.

<span>The amount of dissolved salt in the liquid sample is measured and reported as salinity. The salinity is usually measured in parts per thousand (ppt). The salinity of ocean averages 35 ppt while that of the river averages 0.5 ppt or less. In other terms, the word salinity is the saltiness. </span>

If the solubility of sodium chloride is 36 grams per 100 grams of water, which of the following solutions would be considered un

Murrr4er [49]

Answer: If the solubility of sodium chloride is 36 grams per 100 grams of water then 5.8 moles of NaCl dissolved in 1 L of water solution would be considered unsaturated.

Explanation:

A solution which contains the maximum amount of solute is called a saturated solution. Whereas a solution in which more amount of solute is able to dissolve is called an unsaturated solution.

Now, the number of moles present in 36 g of NaCl (molar mass = 58.4 g/mol) is as follows.

$No. of moles = \frac{mass}{molar mass}\\= \frac{36 g}{58.4 g/mol}\\= 0.616 mol$

This shows that solubility of sodium chloride is 36 grams per 100 grams of water means a maximum of 0.616 mol of NaCl will dissolve in 100 mL of water.

So, a solution in which number of moles of NaCl are less than 0.616 mol per 100 mL then the solution formed will be an unsaturated solution.

As 5.8 moles of NaCl dissolved in 1 L (or 1000 mL) of water. So, moles present in 100 mL are calculated as follows.

$Moles = \frac{5.8 mol}{1000 mL} \times 100 mL\\= 0.58 mol$

Moles present in 100 mL of water for 3.25 moles of NaCl dissolved in 500 ml in water are as follows.

$Moles = \frac{3.25 mol}{500 mL} \times 100 mL\\0.65 mol$

Moles present in 100 mL of water for 1.85 moles of NaCl dissolved in 300 ml of water are as follows.

$Moles = \frac{1.85 mol}{300 mL} \times 100 mL\\= 0.616 mol$

Thus, we can conclude that if the solubility of sodium chloride is 36 grams per 100 grams of water then 5.8 moles of NaCl dissolved in 1 L of water solution would be considered unsaturated.

3. Given the following equation:

miskamm [114]

Answer:

4.767 grams of KCl are produced from 2.50 g of K and excess Cl2

Explanation:

The balanced equation is

2 K+ Cl2 --->2 KCI

Here the limiting agent is K. Hence, the amount of KCl will be calculated as per the mass of 2.50 gram of K

Mass of one atom/mole of potassium is 39.098 grams

Number of moles is 2.5 grams = $\frac{2.5}{39.098} = 0.064$

So, 2 moles of K produces 2 moles of KCL

0.064 moles of K will produces 0.064 moles of KCl

Mass of one molecule of KCl is 74.5513 g/mol

Mass of 0.064 moles of KCl is 4.767 grams
