Answer:

$\boxed {\boxed {\sf 110.98 \ g/mol}}$

Explanation:

The molar mass is the mass of a substance in grams per mole.

To find it, add the mass of each element in the compound. These masses can be found on the Periodic Table.

The compound given is:

$CaCl_2$

The compound has 1 Ca (calcium) and 2 Cl (chlorine).

Mass of Calcium

The molar mass of calcium is 40.08 g/mol
There is only one atom of Calcium in CaCl₂, so the number above is what we will use.

Mass of Chlorine

The molar mass of chlorine is 35.45 g/mol
There are two atoms of chlorine in CaCl₂, therefore we need to multiply the molar mass by 2.
35.45 * 2= 70.9 g/mol

Molar Mass of CaCl₂

Now, to find the molar mass, add the molar mass of 1 calcium and 2 chlorine.
40.08 g/mol + 70.9 g/mol =110.98 g/mol

The molar mass of CaCl₂ is <u>110.98 grams per mole. </u>

The compound magnesium iodide is a strong electrolyte write the reaction when solid magnesium iodide is put into water

mestny [16]

The reaction for magnesium iodide when put into water is as below

MgI2(s) → Mg^2+(aq) + 2I^-(aq)

when magnesium iodide but into water it dissociate/ ionize completely into Mg^2+ and 2l^- ions. Magnesium iodide dissociate/ionize completely because magnesium iodide is a strong electrolyte which dissociate/ ionize completely into their ions when it is put into water .

The concentration of species in 500 mL of a 2.104 M solution of sodium sulfate is ________ M sodium ion and ________ M sulfate i

omeli [17]

Answer:

The concentration of species in 500 mL of a 2.104 M solution of sodium sulfate is 4.208 M sodium ion and 2.104 M sulfate ion. (option E)

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Volume = 500 mL = 0.500 L

The concentration sodium sulfate = 2.104 M

Step 2: The equation

Na2SO4 → 2Na+ + SO4^2-

For 1 mol Na2SO4 we have 2 moles sodium ion (Na+) and 1 mol sulfate ion (SO4^2-)

Step 3: Calculate the concentration of the ions

[Na+] = 2*2.104 M = 4.208 M

[SO4^2-] = 1*2.104 M = 2.104 M

The concentration of species in 500 mL of a 2.104 M solution of sodium sulfate is 4.208 M sodium ion and 2.104 M sulfate ion. (option E)

A sample of gas is observed to effuse through a pourous barrier in 4.98 minutes. Under the same conditions, the same number of m

kogti [31]

Answer:

The molar mass of the unknown gas is $\mathbf{ 51.865 \ g/mol}$

Explanation:

Let assume that the gas is O2 gas

O2 gas is to effuse through a porous barrier in time t₁ = 4.98 minutes.

Under the same conditions;

the same number of moles of an unknown gas requires time t₂ = 6.34 minutes to effuse through the same barrier.

From Graham's Law of Diffusion;

Graham's Law of Diffusion states that, at a constant temperature and pressure; the rate of diffusion of a gas is inversely proportional to the square root of its density.

i.e

$R \ \alpha \ \dfrac{1}{\sqrt{d}}$

$R = \dfrac{k}{d}$ where K = constant

If we compare the rate o diffusion of two gases;

$\dfrac{R_1}{R_2}= {\sqrt{\dfrac{d_2}{d_1}}$

Since the density of a gas d is proportional to its relative molecular mass M. Then;

$\dfrac{R_1}{R_2}= {\sqrt{\dfrac{M_2}{M_1}}$

Rate is the reciprocal of time ; i.e

$R = \dfrac{1}{t}$

Thus; replacing the value of R into the above previous equation;we have:

$\dfrac{R_1}{R_2}={\dfrac{t_2}{t_1}}$

We can equally say:

${\dfrac{t_2}{t_1}}= {\sqrt{\dfrac{M_2}{M_1}}$

${\dfrac{6.34}{4.98}}= {\sqrt{\dfrac{M_2}{32}}$

$M_2 = 32 \times ( \dfrac{6.34}{4.98})^2$

$M_2 = 32 \times ( 1.273092369)^2$

$M_2 = 32 \times 1.62076418$

$\mathbf{M_2 = 51.865 \ g/mol}$

Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer:

dG will be the same -20 kcal/mol

Explanation:

The dG can be expressed in terms of the G(products) - G(reactants). If the amount of enzyme is doubled the Gibbs energy of the reactants and products will be the same, so the substraction dG has the same value
