Answer:  the percent by mass of potassium nitrate is 13.3%

Explanation:

<u>1) Data:</u>

  • Mass of solute, m₁ = 45.0 g
  • Volume of solvent, V₂ = 295 ml
  • density of water, d₂ = 0.997 g/ml

<u>2) Formulae</u>:

  • Percent by mass, % = (mass of solute / mass of solution) × 100

  • Density, d = mass / volume

<u>3) Solution</u>:

  • d = mass / volume ⇒ m₂ = d₂ × V₂ = 0.997 g/ml × 295 ml = 294. g
  • mass of solution = m₁ + m₂ = 45.0g + 294. g = 339. g
  • % = (45.0 g / 339. g) × 100 = 13.3 %
  • The answer has to be reported with 3 significant figures.

Describe the capillary action in acetone compared to water
lakkis [162]
Capillary action is defined as the ability of a liquid to go up a narrow space without the help or opposition of external forces. One of the most important factors affecting capillary action is the intermolecular forces within a substance. The higher the IMF, the greater the capillary action. The H-bonding in water gives it greater IMF than acetone, so water has greater capillary action.
