What do you divide the mass by to get the concentration of a solute?

Chemistry

You divide by the mass of the solution.

Percent by mass is the mass of the solute divided by the mass of the solution, multiplied by 100.

Example:

You dissolve a 4.00 g sugar cube in 350 mL of tea at 80 °C. The density of water at 80 °C is 0.975 g/mL. What is the percent by mass of sugar in the solution?

Solution

Step 1 — Determine mass of the solute.

The solute is the sugar cube. Mass of solute = 4.00 g.

Step 2 — Determine mass of solvent.

The solvent is the 80 °C water. Use the density of the water to find the mass.

mass of solvent = 350 mL ×

0.975

g

1

mL

= 341 g

Step 3— Determine the total mass of the solution

mass of solution = mass of solute + mass of solvent = 4.00 g + 341 g = 345 g

Step 4 — Determine percent composition by mass of the sugar solution.

% by mass =

mass of solute

mass of solution

× 100 % =

4.00

345

g

× 100 % = 1.159 %

The percent composition by mass of the sugar solution is 1.159 %.

Ergosterol, a precursor of vitamin D, has δmax = 282 nm and molar absorptivity ε = 11,900 M-1cm-1. What is the concentration of
meriva

Answer:

3.6 × 10⁻⁵ M

Explanation:

Ergosterol has a maximum absorbance at λ = 282 nm. The absorbance of an analyte is related to its concentration through the Beer-Lambert's law.

A = ε × <em>l</em> × c

where,

A: absorbance

ε: molar absorptivity

<em>l</em>: optical path length

c; molar concentration

c = A / ε × <em>l </em>= 0.43 / (11,900 M⁻¹cm⁻¹) × 1.00 cm = 3.6 × 10⁻⁵ M

Complete combustion of 7.40 g of a hydrocarbon produced 22.4 g of CO2 and 11.5 g of H2O. What is the empirical formula for the h
cluponka [151]
<span>C2H5 First, you need to figure out the relative ratios of moles of carbon and hydrogen. You do this by first looking up the atomic weight of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. Then you use those atomic weights to calculate the molar masses of H2O and CO2. Carbon = 12.0107 Hydrogen = 1.00794 Oxygen = 15.999 Molar mass of H2O = 2 * 1.00794 + 15.999 = 18.01488 Molar mass of CO2 = 12.0107 + 2 * 15.999 = 44.0087 Now using the calculated molar masses, determine how many moles of each product was generated. You do this by dividing the given mass by the molar mass. moles H2O = 11.5 g / 18.01488 g/mole = 0.638361 moles moles CO2 = 22.4 g / 44.0087 g/mole = 0.50899 moles The number of moles of carbon is the same as the number of moles of CO2 since there's just 1 carbon atom per CO2 molecule. Since there's 2 hydrogen atoms per molecule of H2O, you need to multiply the number of moles of H2O by 2 to get the number of moles of hydrogen. moles C = 0.50899 moles H = 0.638361 * 2 = 1.276722 We can double check our math by multiplying the calculated number of moles of carbon and hydrogen by their respective atomic weights and see if we get the original mass of the hydrocarbon. total mass = 0.50899 * 12.0107 + 1.276722 * 1.00794 = 7.400185 7.400185 is more than close enough to 7.40 given rounding errors, so the double check worked. Now to find the empirical formula we need to find a ratio of small integers that comes close to the ratio of moles of carbon and hydrogen. 0.50899 / 1.276722 = 0.398669 0.398669 is extremely close to 4/10, so let's reduce that ratio by dividing both top and bottom by 2 giving 2/5. Since the number of moles of carbon was on top, that ratio implies that the empirical formula for this unknown hydrocarbon is C2H5</span>

How reactive is an atom of Sodium(Na) and why?
s344n2d4d5 [400]
3rd one:
it is very reactive because it does not have a full Valence shell.

this is because it's in group 1 so it has one electron in its outer shell, and it wants to have a full outer shell ( which it can gain by losing the electron in a reaction).

Hope this helps :)
