Answer:

Lithium does form a peroxide as well as an oxide on burning in air and I suspect the low temperature reaction with air forms a significant amount of peroxide.

Contact [7]

Answer:

a) 1,74 molal

b) 37,2 %

c) 0,03

Explanation:

We are going to define sucrose as solute, water as solvent and the mix of both, the solution.

Let´s start with the data:

$Molarity = M = \frac{1,22 mol solute}{lts solution}$

We can assume as a calculus base, 1 liter of solution. So, in 1 liter of solution we have 1,22 moles of solute:

$1 lts solution * \frac{1,22 moles solute}{lts solution}=1,22 moles solute$

Knowing that the molality (m) is defined as mol of solute/kgs solvent, we have to calculate the mass of solvent on the solution. Remember our calculus base (1 lts of solution). In 1 lts of solution we have 1120 grams of solution.

$1 lts solution * \frac{1,12 grs solution}{mL solution}*\frac{1000 mL solution}{1 lts solution} = 1120 grs of solution$

With the molecular weight of solute (Sum of: for carbon = 12*12=144; for hydrogen = 1*22=22 and for oxygen = 16*11=176. Final result = 342 grs per mol), we can obtain the mass of solute:

$1,22 mol solute*\frac{342 grs solute}{1 mol solute} = 417,24 grs solute$

Now, the mass of solvent is: mass solvent = mass of solution - mass of solute. So, we have: 1120 - 417,24 = 702,76 grs of solvent = 0,70276 Kgs of solvent

$molality = m = \frac{1,22 mol solute}{0,70276 kgs solvent}= 1,74 molal$

For b) question we have that the mass percent of solute is hte ratio between the mass of solute and the mass of solution. So,

$%(w/w) = \frac{417,24 grs solute}{1120 grs solution} = 37,2%$

For c) question we have that the mole fraction of solute is the ratio between moles of solute and moles of solution. Let's calculate the moles of solution as follows: Moles solution = moles solute + moles solvent. First we have that the moles of solvent are (remember that the molecular weight of water for this calculus is 18 grs per mol):

$702,76 grs solvent*\frac{1 mol solvent}{18 grs solvent} = 39,04 moles solvent$

So, we have the moles of solution: 1,22 moles of solute + 39,04 moles of solvent = 40,26 moles of solution

Finally, we have:

$Mol frac solute = \frac{1,22 mol solute}{40,26 mol solution}= 0,03$

Since volume and temperature are constant, this means that pressure and_____are____proportional. the sample with the largest____

IceJOKER [234]

Since volume and temperature are constant, this means that pressure and number of moles are directly proportional. the sample with the largest number of moles will have the high pressure.

Since, the ideal gas equation is also called ideal gas law. So, according to ideal gas equations,

PV = nRT

P is pressure of the sample
T is temperature
V is volume
n is the number of moles
R is universal gas constant

At constant volume and temperature the equation become ,

P ∝ nR

since, R is also constant. So, conclusion of the final equation is

P ∝ n

The number of moles and pressure of the sample is directly proportion. So, on increasing number of moles in the sample , pressure of the sample also increases.

A high speed train travels 176 miles in 7 hours. What is the speed of the train

umka21 [38]

Answer:

25 mph

Explanation:

So we have to find the unit rate, or you could use the DTS triangle, but both say you have to divide, so our equation is:

176 ÷ 7 = 25.14

But I'm going to round that

So the train is traveling at 25 mph

hope this helps:/
