what is the concentration (in %v/v)) of the following solutions? a. 25 mL of ethanol is diluted to a volume of 150 mL with water
fenix001 [56]
The symbol %v/v means percent by volume. Assuming there is no volume effects when these substances are mixed, we calculate as follows:

% v/v = (25 mL ethanol / 25 mL + 150 mL ) x 100
%v/v = 14.29 mL ethanol / mL solution

Hope this answers the question.

Determine the empirical formula of a compound containing 48.38 grams of carbon, 6.74 grams of hydrogen, and 53.5 grams of oxygen
Darya [45]

Answer: The empirical formula of the compound becomes CH_2O

<u>Explanation:</u>

The empirical formula is the chemical formula of the simplest ratio of the number of atoms of each element present in a compound.

We are given:

Mass of C = 48.38 g

Mass of H = 6.74 g

Mass of O = 53.5 g

The number of moles is defined as the ratio of the mass of a substance to its molar mass. The equation used is:

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}} ......(1)

To formulate the empirical formula, we need to follow some steps:

  • <u>Step 1:</u> Converting the given masses into moles.

Molar mass of C = 12 g/mol

Molar mass of H = 1 g/mol

Molar mass of O = 16 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

\text{Moles of C}=\frac{48.38g}{12g/mol}=3.023 mol

\text{Moles of H}=\frac{6.74g}{1g/mol}=6.74 mol

\text{Moles of O}=\frac{53.5g}{1g/mol}=3.34 mol

  • <u>Step 2:</u> Calculating the mole ratio of the given elements.

Calculating the mole fraction of each element by dividing the calculated moles by the least calculated number of moles that is 3.023 moles

\text{Mole fraction of C}=\frac{3.023}{3.023}=1

\text{Mole fraction of H}=\frac{6.74}{3.023}=2.23\approx 2

\text{Mole fraction of O}=\frac{3.34}{3.023}=1.105\approx 1

  • <u>Step 3:</u> Taking the mole ratio as their subscripts.

The ratio of C : H : O = 1 : 2 : 1

Hence, the empirical formula of the compound becomes CH_2O

Answer:

Explanation:1.8

 water molecules.

Explanation:

There are  

6.022

×

10

23

molecules in a mole.

There are  

18.01528

grams of water per mole of water.

These can be figured out using the concept of moles and molecular weight. I have attached a video that provides a good explanation.

Explanation of moles and molecular weight

Now you have all the information needed to solve the problem.

You start out with 54 grams of water. You want to convert that into molecules, but how can you do that? You can't go directly from grams to molecules because there is no easy unit conversion. However, you can go from grams to moles using

18.01528

grams of water per mole of water.

From there, you can go from moles to molecules using

how many moles of sodium phosphate are required to make 7.5 moles of sodium nitrate in 2Na3PO4+3Be(NO3)=6NanO3+Be3(PO4)2
KIM [24]

Answer:

<em>2.5</em> moles of sodium phosphate

Explanation:

3 Pb(NO3)2 + 2 Na3PO4 → Pb3(PO4)2 + 6 NaNO3

6 (moles in the reaction)- 7.5(moles  in the task)

2 (moles in the reaction)- x (moles in answer) ⇒6x = 2*7.5 ⇒ x = 15/6=2.5 (moles)
