Answer:

The new concentration of the solution is 0.89 M.

Explanation:

In chemistry, dilution is the reduction in concentration of a chemical in a solution. This is accomplished by adding more solvent to the same amount of solute.

So, in a dilution, the amount of solute does not vary, but the volume of the solvent varies: as more solvent is added, the concentration of the solute decreases, as the volume (and weight) of the solution increases.

In a dilution the expression is used:

Ci*Vi = Cf*Vf

where:

Ci: initial concentration
Vi: initial volume
Cf: final concentration
Vf: final volume

In this case:

Ci= 2.5 M
Vi= 250 mL
Cf=?
Vf= 700 mL

Replacing:

2.5 M* 250 mL= Cf* 700 mL

Solving:

$Cf=\frac{2.5 M*250 mL}{700 mL}$

Cf= 0.89 M

<u><em>The new concentration of the solution is 0.89 M.</em></u>

How many carbon atoms are there in a diamond (pure carbon) with a mass of 55 mg ?

kari74 [83]

1 mol of Carbon = 12 grams.
x mol of Carbon = 55 grams

12*x = 1 * 55
x = 55/12
x = 4.583333 mols of carbon

1 mol of anything is 6.02 * 10^23 atoms
4.58333333 mol = x

1/4.5833333 = 6.02 * 10^23/x
x = 4.58333* 6.02*10^23
x = 2.7591 * 10^23 Carbon atoms

Why does it make sense that Hydrogen and Helium would be the first elements to form in the Universe?

Illusion [34]

Answer:

Explanation:

It makes sense because Helium and Hydrogen only hold 1 and 2 subsequent protons/neutrons and electrons. When the Big Bang happened the entire universe was so hot that it was impossible for elements to form since it was impossible for electrons to stay bound to the atoms. After a few seconds the universe began to cool enough for electrons to bond to atoms and create different elements. Since Helium and Hydrogen have 1 and 2 electrons subsequently we can assume that they were the first elements to be created. Also they are the most abundant elements in the Universe which backs up this theory.

What must be the molarity of an aqueous solution of trimethylamine, (ch3)3n, if it has a ph = 11.20? (ch3)3n+h2o⇌(ch3)3nh++oh−kb

Stolb23 [73]

0.040 mol / dm³. (2 sig. fig.)

<h3>Explanation</h3>

$(\text{CH}_3)_3\text{N}$ in this question acts as a weak base. As seen in the equation in the question, $(\text{CH}_3)_3\text{N}$ produces $\text{OH}^{-}$ rather than $\text{H}^{+}$ when it dissolves in water. The concentration of $\text{OH}^{-}$ will likely be more useful than that of $\text{H}^{+}$ for the calculations here.

Finding the value of $[\text{OH}^{-}]$ from pH:

Assume that $\text{pK}_w = 14$ ,

$\begin{array}{ll}\text{pOH} = \text{pK}_w - \text{pH} \\ \phantom{\text{pOH}} = 14 - 11.20 &\text{True only under room temperature where }\text{pK}_w = 14 \\\phantom{\text{pOH}}= 2.80\end{array}$ .

$[\text{OH}^{-}] =10^{-\text{pOH}} =10^{-2.80} = 1.59\;\text{mol}\cdot\text{dm}^{-3}$ .

Solve for $[(\text{CH}_3)_3\text{N}]_\text{initial}$ :

$\dfrac{[\text{OH}^{-}]_\text{equilibrium}\cdot[(\text{CH}_3)_3\text{NH}^{+}]_\text{equilibrium}}{[(\text{CH}_3)_3\text{N}]_\text{equilibrium}} = \text{K}_b = 1.58\times 10^{-3}$

Note that water isn't part of this expression.

The value of Kb is quite small. The change in $(\text{CH}_3)_3\text{N}$ is nearly negligible once it dissolves. In other words,

$[(\text{CH}_3)_3\text{N}]_\text{initial} = [(\text{CH}_3)_3\text{N}]_\text{final}$ .

Also, for each mole of $\text{OH}^{-}$ produced, one mole of $(\text{CH}_3)_3\text{NH}^{+}$ was also produced. The solution started with a small amount of either species. As a result,

$[(\text{CH}_3)_3\text{NH}^{+}] = [\text{OH}^{-}] = 10^{-2.80} = 1.58\times 10^{-3}\;\text{mol}\cdot\text{dm}^{-3}$ .

$\dfrac{[\text{OH}^{-}]_\text{equilibrium}\cdot[(\text{CH}_3)_3\text{NH}^{+}]_\text{equilibrium}}{[(\text{CH}_3)_3\text{N}]_\textbf{initial}} = \text{K}_b = 1.58\times 10^{-3}$ ,

$[(\text{CH}_3)_3\text{N}]_\textbf{initial} =\dfrac{[\text{OH}^{-}]_\text{equilibrium}\cdot[(\text{CH}_3)_3\text{NH}^{+}]_\text{equilibrium}}{\text{K}_b}$ ,

$[(\text{CH}_3)_3\text{N}]_\text{initial} =\dfrac{(1.58\times10^{-3})^{2}}{6.3\times10^{-5}} = 0.040\;\text{mol}\cdot\text{dm}^{-3}$ .

What the resalut H2SO4 +CO3-=?

BartSMP [9]

Answer:

H2SO4 + CO3 = H2CO3 + SO4

Explanation:

H2SO4 + CO3

This is the reaction of sulphuric acid and carbon trioxide.

Balanced reaction is;

H2SO4 + CO3 = H2CO3 + SO4

So they react to produce carbonic acid and sulfate.

How do you classify a metal

Alenkinab [10]

Answer:

They are solid (with the exception of mercury, Hg, a liquid).

They are shiny, good conductors of electricity and heat.

They are ductile (they can be drawn into thin wires).

They are malleable (they can be easily hammered into very thin sheets).

If this satisfies you please consider giving me brainliest :)
