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

disa [49]

Answer:

Two possible compounds are shown below- one with an exocyclic double bond and another one with an endocyclic double bond

Explanation:

Reaction of alkene with Hg(OAc)_{2} gives a complex of mercurous ion.

Then water molecule attacks this complex through S_{N}2 type reaction at more substituted position.

NaBH_{4} cleaves the resultant C-Hg bond and forms a C-H bond.

Two possible structures of an alkene is possible to yield 1-methylcyclohexanol which are shown below.

Which of the following shows the wavelengths of light that an atom gives off when an electron falls to a lower energy level?
charle [14.2K]

The wavelengths of light that an atom gives off when an electron falls to a lower energy level corresponds to Emission spectrum , Option D is the correct answer.

<h3>What is Emission Spectrum ?</h3>

Light is absorbed or emitted when an electron jumps or falls into an energy level.

The energy of light absorbed or emitted is equal to the difference between the energy of the orbits.

Therefore , the wavelengths of light that an atom gives off when an electron falls to a lower energy level corresponds to Emission spectrum.

Density (d) which is the quotient when mass (m) is divided by volume (v) is usually reported in terms of g/mL. 
                                  d = m /v
Substituting the known values,
                                d = (1.62 kg) x (1000 g/ 1 kg) / (205 mL)
The answer would be approximately equal to 7.9 g/mL.
