<u>Answer:</u> The mole fraction of barium chloride in the solution is 0.024

<u>Explanation:</u>

We are given:

Molarity of barium chloride solution = 1.30 M

This means that 1.30 moles of barium chloride is present in 1 L or 1000 mL of solution.

  • To calculate the mass of solution, we use the equation:

\text{Density of substance}=\frac{\text{Mass of substance}}{\text{Volume of substance}}

Density of solution = 1.230 g/mL

Volume of solution = 1000 mL

Putting values in above equation, we get:

1.230g/mL=\frac{\text{Mass of solution}}{1000mL}\\\\\text{Mass of solution}=(1.230g/mL\times 1000mL)=1230g

  • To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}     .....(1)

Moles of barium chloride = 1.30 moles

Molar mass of barium chloride = 208 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

1.30mol=\frac{\text{Mass of barium chloride}}{208g/mol}\\\\\text{Mass of barium chloride}=(1.30mol\times 208g/mol)=270.4g

Mass of water = Mass of solution - Mass of barium chloride

Mass of water = 1230 - 270.4 = 959.6 g

<u>Calculating the moles of water:</u>

Given mass of water = 959.6 g

Molar mass of water = 18 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

\text{Moles of water}=\frac{959.6g}{18g/mol}\\\\\text{Moles of water}=53.31mol

Mole fraction of a substance is given by:

\chi_A=\frac{n_A}{n_A+n_B}

  • <u>For barium chloride:</u>

\chi_{\text{(barium chloride)}}=\frac{n_{\text{(barium chloride)}}}{n_{\text{(water)}}+n_{\text{(barium chloride)}}}

\chi_{\text{(barium chloride)}}=\frac{1.30}{1.30+53.31}\\\\\chi_{\text{(barium chloride)}}=0.024

Hence, the mole fraction of barium chloride in the solution is 0.024

Answer:

Three chemical elements: hydrogen, oxygen, and helium.

The difference between metals and metalloids is: metalloids have properties in between those of the metals and non-metals and are semiconductors.

The periodic table is organized by the elemts atomic number, it goes from the element with the lowest atomic number (which is hydrogen) to the element with the highest atomic number (oganesson)

Explanation:

Hope this helps :)

How much energy is required to raise the temperature of 10.7 grams of gaseous helium from 22.1 °C to 39.4 °C ?
Rainbow [258]

Answer:

Q = 2640.96 J

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of He gas = 10.7 g

Initial temperature = 22.1°C

Final temperature = 39.4°C

Heat absorbed = ?

Solution:

Specific heat capacity:

It is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one gram of substance by one degree. Specific heat capacity of He is 14.267 J/g.°C

Formula:

Q = m.c. ΔT

Q = amount of heat absorbed or released

m = mass of given substance

c = specific heat capacity of substance

ΔT = change in temperature

ΔT = 39.4°C - 22.1°C

ΔT = 17.3°C

Q = 10.7 g× 14.267 J/g.°C ×  17.3°C

Q = 2640.96 J
