Answer:

~1.417M

Explanation:

Molarity=(number of moles of solute)/(litres of solution)

In this case, we need to find moles of potassium bromide.

Mass=25.3g

Molar mass= 119g/mol

moles=(mass/molar mass)

        =(25.3)/(119)

        =0.2126moles of potassium bromide

Molarity=(0.2126)/(150/1000)

       ~1.417M

Hope this helps:)

Answer:

\boxed {\boxed {\sf molarity \approx 1.42 \ M \ KBr}}

Explanation:

Molarity is a measure of concentration in moles per liter.

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

<h3>1. Find Formula for Compound </h3>

We have the compound potassium bromide. Potassium (K) has an oxidation state of +1 and bromine (Br) has -1. They bond in a 1:1 ratio, so the formula is <u>KBr.</u>

<h3>2. Convert Grams to Moles</h3>

We are given the amount of solute in grams, but we need moles. To convert, we use the molar mass. These values are found on the Periodic Table. They are the same as the atomic masses, but the units are grams per moles (g/mol) instead of atomic mass units (amu).

Look up the individual element's molar mass.

  • Potassium: 39.098 g/mol
  • Bromine: 79.90 g/mol

The formula of KBr contains no subscripts, so we can add the molar masses.

  • KBr: 39.098+ 79.90 =118.99 g/mol

Use the molar mass as a ratio.

\frac {118.998 \ g\ KBr}{ 1 \ mol \ KBr}

We want to convert 25.3 grams, so we multiply by that value.

25.3 \ g\ KBr*\frac {118.998 \ g\ KBr}{ 1 \ mol \ KBr}

Flip the ratio so the units of grams of KBr cancel.

25.3 \ g\ KBr*\frac{ 1 \ mol \ KBr}{118.998 \ g\ KBr}

25.3*\frac{ 1 \ mol \ KBr}{118.998} = 0.2126086153\ mol \ KBr

<h3>3. Convert Milliliters to Liters </h3>

Molarity uses liters, so we must convert the 150 milliliters. 1 liter contains 1000 milliliters.

\frac{1 \ L }{1000 \ ml}

150 \ mL *\frac{1 \ L }{1000 \ ml}

150  *\frac{1 \ L }{1000}= 0.150 \ L

<h3>4. Calculate Molarity </h3>

Now we have the moles of solute and liters of solution, so we can find molarity.

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

molarity= \frac{0.2126086153 \ mol \ KBr}{ 0.150 \ L}

molarity = 1.417390768\ mol KBr/L

The original measurements had 3 significant figures, so our answer must have the same. For the number we found, that is the hundredth place. The 7 in the thousandth place tells us to round the 1 to a 2.

molarity \approx 1.42 \ mol KBr/L

1 mole per liter is equal to 1 Molar (M), so we must convert the units.

molarity \approx 1.42 \ M \ KBr

Radar detectors use radio waves to measure the speed of moving
bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

1.7x10^8 Hz

Explanation:

Frequency could be explained as the number of occurrences of a repeating event at a time

Given:

wavelength = 1.8 meters

The frequency f of the waves can be calculated using f = c / λ

Where c (m/s) is the speed of the wave

λ (m) is the wavelength

Speed c= 3*10^8 m/s

Frequency f= 3*10^8 /1.8

Frequency= 1.7x10^8 Hz

Therefore,the frequency of waves from a radar detector is 1.7x10^8 Hz
