Answer:

Strong acids are strong electrolytes. Such acids ionize completely.

Weak acids and bases are weak electrolytes. Such bases and acids ionize only to a small extent.

Explanation:

Electrolytes are the substances that produce ions when they are dissolved in water. Electrolytes can be categorized as bases, acids, and salts.

Strong acids are strong electrolytes. Such acids ionize completely.

Weak acids and bases are weak electrolytes. Such bases and acids ionize only to a small extent.

A solution made by dissolving 33 mg of insulin in 6.5 mL of water has an osmotic pressure of 15.5 mmHg at 25°C. Calculate the mo

Liula [17]

<u>Answer:</u> The molar mass of the insulin is 6087.2 g/mol

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the concentration of solute, we use the equation for osmotic pressure, which is:

$\pi=iMRT$

Or,

$\pi=i\times \frac{\text{Mass of solute}\times 1000}{\text{Molar mass of solute}\times \text{Volume of solution (in mL)}}\times RT$

where,

$\pi$ = osmotic pressure of the solution = 15.5 mmHg

i = Van't hoff factor = 1 (for non-electrolytes)

Mass of solute (insulin) = 33 mg = 0.033 g (Conversion factor: 1 g = 1000 mg)

Volume of solution = 6.5 mL

R = Gas constant = $62.364\text{ L.mmHg }mol^{-1}K^{-1}$

T = temperature of the solution = $25^oC=[273+25]=298K$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$15.5mmHg=1\times \frac{0.033\times 1000}{\text{Molar mass of insulin}\times 6.5}\times 62.364\text{ L.mmHg }mol^{-1}K^{-1}\times 298K\\\\\text{molar mass of insulin}=\frac{1\times 0.033\times 1000\times 62.364\times 298}{15.5\times 6.5}=6087.2g/mol$

Hence, the molar mass of the insulin is 6087.2 g/mol

All compounds are molecules but not all molecules are compounds. Explain this statement.

Elis [28]

All compounds are molecules because a molecule is 2 or more substances/elements combined and a compound is 2 or more elements combined. But not all molecules are elements because some molecules are just combined substances with no elements combined at all.

How many molecules are there in 8.25 moles of CaHia?

expeople1 [14]

The number of molecules : 4.967 x 10²⁴

<h3>Further explanation </h3>

A mole is a number of particles(atoms, molecules, ions) in a substance

This refers to the atomic total of the 12 gr C-12 which is equal to 6.02.10²³, so 1 mole = 6.02.10²³ particles

Can be formulated :

N = n x No

N = number of particles

n = mol
