Answer:

MM = 225.11 g/mol

Explanation:

In this case, let's analyze the data.

We have a 15.2 mg of an unknown electrolyte in 150 mL of solution. The osmotic pressure is 8.44 Torr, and we want the molecular mass of the unknown.

The osmotic pressure can be calculated using the following expression:

π = CRT   (1)    

π: osmotic pressure (8.44 Torr * 1 atm / 760 Torr = 0.011 atm)

C: Concentration of the unknown in the solution

R: universal constant of gases (0.082 L atm / K mol)

T: temperature in Kelvin (25 + 273 = 298 K)

From this expression, we can either solve for C, and then use another expression to calculate the molecular mass, or we can just replace the expressions in the above formula, to get the direct molecular mass. In this case, we'll follow the second method.

Concentration or molarity of a substance can be calculated using:

C = moles / V  (2)

And moles can be calculated using this expression:

moles = m / MM   (3)

Replacing (3) in (2), and then in (1) we have:

C = m / MM * V

π = m * RT / MM * V   (4)

and now, we can solve for MM:

MM = mRT / π V  (5)

Now, we just need to replace the given data into the above expression to get the value of the molecular mass:

MM = (15.2 / 1000) * 0.082 * 298 / 0.011 * 0.150

<h2>MM = 225.11 g/mol</h2>

Hope this helps

What are the purposes of theories in science?
Leto [7]

Answer:

Scientific theories are testable and make falsifiable predictions. They describe the causes of a particular natural phenomenon and are used to explain and predict aspects of the physical universe or specific areas of inquiry (for example, electricity, chemistry, and astronomy).

A good theory in the theoretical sense is (1) consistent with empirical observations; is (2) precise, (3) parsimonious, (4) explanatorily broad, and (5) falsifiable; and (6) promotes scientific progress (among others; Table 1.1).
