discuss the difference between molarity and molality, state the units of each, state the symbol of each, and give an example of
Afina-wow [57]
Molarity and molality both describe the concentration of a substance in terms of moles.
Molarity describes the number of moles of a substance per unit of volume, typically per liter (mol/l).
Molality describes the number of moles per unit of mass, typically kilograms (mol/kg). 
When determining the molality of a solution, mol/kg can be obtained by finding the number of moles in the substance, and dividing that number by the the total weight in kilograms of that substance.
When determining the molarity of a solution, mol/l can be obtained by dividing the number of moles in a substance by the total volume in liters of that substance.

A girl drops a stone from the top a tower 45m tall. At the same time, a boy standing at the base of the tower, projects another
Advocard [28]

Answer:

(i) The stones meet at 1.8 second

(ii) The point at which the stones meet, is 28.8 m above the base of the building and 16.2 m below the top of the building.

Explanation:

(i)

First we consider the stone dropped by the girl. We have data:

Vi = Initial Velocity of Stone = 0 m/s   (Since the stone was initially at rest)

t = Time Period

g = 10 m/s²

s₁ = Distance Covered by Stone

Using 2nd equation of motion, we get:

s₁ = Vi t + (0.5)gt²

s₁ = (0)(t) + (0.5)(10)t²

s₁ = 5t²   ----- equation (1)

Now, we consider the stone throne vertically upward by the boy. We have data:

Vi = Initial Velocity of Stone = 25 m/s

t = Time Period

g = - 10 m/s²   (negative sign due to upward motion)

s₂ = Distance Covered by Stone

Using 2nd equation of motion, we get:

s₂ = Vi t + (0.5)gt²

s₂ = (25)(t) + (0.5)(-10)t²

s₂ = 25t - 5t²   ----- equation (2)

At, the point where both the stones meet, the sum of distances covered by both stones must be equal to the height of building (i.e 45 m).

s₁ + s₂ = 45

using values from equation (1) and equation (2)

5t² + 25t - 5t² = 45

25t = 45

t = 45/25

<u>t =  1.8 sec</u>

(ii)

using this value of of t in equation (2)

s₂ = (25)(1.8) - (5)(1.8)²

<u>s₂ = 28.8 m</u>

using this value of of t in equation (1)

s₁ = (5)(1.8)²

<u>s₁ = 16.2 m</u>

<u>Hence, the point at which the stones meet, is 28.8 m above the base of the building and 16.2 m below the top of the building.</u>
