Answer:

\boxed {\boxed {\sf 3.3 \ liters}}}

Explanation:

Molarity is a measure of concentration in moles per liter.

molarity=\frac{moles \ of \ solute}{liters \ of \ solution}}

The solution has a molarity of 1.2 M or 1.2 moles per liter. There are 4.0 moles of NaCl, the solute. We don't know the liters of solution, so we can use x.

  • molarity= 1.2 mol/L
  • moles of solute= 4.0 mol
  • liters of solution =x

Substitute the values into the formula.

1.2 \ mol/L = \frac{4.0 \ mol}{x}

Since we are solving for x, we must isolate the variable. Begin by cross multiply (multiply the 1st numerator and 2nd denominator, then the 1st denominator and 2nd numerator.

\frac {1.2 \ mol/L}{1}=\frac{ 4.0 \ mol}{x}

4.0 \ mol *1=1.2 \ mol/L *x

4.0 \ mol = 1.2 \ mol/L *x

x is being multiplied by 1.2 moles per liter. The inverse of multiplication is division, so divide both sides by 1.2 mol/L

\frac{4.0 \ mol}{1.2 \ mol/L} = \frac{1.2 \ mol/L *x}{1.2 \ mol/L}

\frac{4.0 \ mol}{1.2 \ mol/L}=x

The units of moles (mol) will cancel.

\frac{4.0 }{1.2 } \ L =x

3.33333333 \ L=x

The original measurements both have 2 significant figures, so our answer must have the same. For the number we found, this is the tenths place.

The 3 in the hundredth place tells us to leave the 3 in the tenths place.

3.3 \ L\approx x

Approximately  <u>3.3 liters of solution</u> are needed to make a 1.2 M solution with 4.0 moles of sodium chloride.

Assume that 1.0 mol of C4H10 is completely burned in excess oxygen to form carbon dioxide and water. How many moles of CO2 would
In-s [12.5K]
You need to first write a chemical equation and balance it
 C₄H₁₀ + O₂ → CO₂ + H₂O
2 C₄H₁₀ + 13 O₂ → 8 CO₂ + 10 H₂O
1.0 moles               X moles
1.0 mol C₄H₁₀ (\frac{8 mol CO₂}{2 mol C₄H₁₀}) = 4 moles of CO₂

If the pH of a solution is 5, what is the hydrogen ion concentration?
Gnoma [55]

Yo sup??

We know that

pH=-log[H+]

[H+]=10^(-pH)

pH=5

therefore

[H+]=10^(-5)

The medium is acidic

Hope this helps.

When someone opens a bottle of carbonated drinks, the pressure inside the bottle decreases.
Mekhanik [1.2K]

Answer:

When you open the bottle, there is a dramatic decrease in pressure over the liquid, so the CO2 starts to leave the liquid very rapidly, causing the mass exodus of gas, or "explosion" of bubbles. This also explains why soda goes flat.

Write the balanced equation for the neutralization reaction between h2so4 with naoh
Sedaia [141]
H2SO4 or hydrogen sulfate is an acid and NaOH or sodium hydroxide is a base or an alkali. The reaction between an acid and a base or alkali produces a salt and water. The reaction between these substances is shown below:
H2SO4 (aq) + 2NaOH (aq)------>2H20 (L) + Na2SO4 (aq). The salt produced in this reaction is sodium sulfate.
