Answer:

Charge is caused by a flow of electrons, since electrons are around the nucleus they can be lost or gained by atoms. When an atom gets charged, it gains a charge, that is, it gains an electron. Since electrons are negatively charged, when an atom gains one, it also becomes negatively charged.

The density of a 3.37M MgCl2 (FW = 95.21) is 1.25 g/mL. Calulate the molality, mass/mass percent, and mass/volume percent. So fa

Answer : The molality, mass/mass percent, and mass/volume percent are, 0.0381 mole/Kg, 25.67 % and 32.086 % respectively.

Solution : Given,

Density of solution = 1.25 g/ml

Molar mass of $MgCl_2$ (solute) = 95.21 g/mole

3.37 M magnesium chloride means that 3.37 gram of magnesium chloride is present in 1 liter of solution.

The volume of solution = 1 L = 1000 ml

Mass of $MgCl_2$ (solute) = 3.37 g

First we have to calculate the mass of solute.

$\text{Mass of }MgCl_2=\text{Moles of }MgCl_2\times \text{Molar mass of }MgCl_2$

$\text{Mass of }MgCl_2=3.37mole\times 95.21g/mole=320.86g$

Now we have to calculate the mass of solution.

$\text{Mass of solution}=\text{Density of solution}\times \text{Volume of solution}=1.25g/ml\times 1000ml=1250g$

Mass of solvent = Mass of solution - Mass of solute = 1250 - 320.86 = 929.14 g

Now we have to calculate the molality of the solution.

$Molality=\frac{\text{Mass of solute}\times 1000}{\text{Molar mass of solute}\times \text{Mass of solvent}}=\frac{3.37g\times 1000}{95.21g/mole\times 929.14g}=0.0381mole/Kg$
