What is the molality of a solution containing 19.5g HCl and 257g of H2O?

1 answer:

8 0

M= 2.06

molality is m = moles/kg

if you look at the periodic table the mass of HCl is 36.458 rounded to 36.5

divide the 19.5g by the mass (36.5) and you’ll get 0.53

next, you convert g to kg so you divide by 1,000. 257/1,000 = 0.257

you plug those two answers into the equation > m= 0.53 mol HCl/ 0.257kg H20

the answer will be 2.06 when you divide and there’s how you get the molality.

remember, HCl is the solute and H20 is the solvent.

What are the electrons capable of Sharing accepting or donating called?

Oliga [24]

Substances have different tendencies to donate or accept electrons. When a really good donor meets a great acceptor, the chemical reaction releases a lot of energy. Oxygen (O2) is the best electron acceptor and is used in many aerobic reactions (reactions with oxygen). Hydrogen gas (H2) is a good electron donor.

When O2 and H2 are combined, along with a catalyst, water (H2O) is formed. This example of a redox reaction can be written like this:
