Answer:

C. the substance in which the solute dissolves

Explanation:

There are two terms in this... the solute and the solvent. The way I learned how to remember this is with a little pirate analogy: The loot (stolen treasure) always goes in the vent. So, the soLUTE goes in the solVENT.

What volume (in liters) of a solution contains 0.14 mol of KCl?

oksano4ka [1.4K]

Answer:

$\boxed {\boxed {\sf 0.078 \ L }}$

Explanation:

We are asked to find the volume of a solution given the moles of solute and molarity.

Molarity is a measure of concentration in moles per liter. It is calculated using the following formula:

$molarity= \frac{moles \ of \ solute}{liters \ of \ solution}$

We know there are 0.14 moles of potassium chloride (KCl), which is the solute. The molarity of the solution is 1.8 molar or 1.8 moles of potassium chloride per liter.

moles of solute = 0.14 mol KCl
molarity= 1.8 mol KCl/ L
liters of solution=x

Substitute these values/variables into the formula.

$1.8 \ mol \ KCl/ L = \frac { 0.14 \ mol \ KCl}{x}$

We are solving for x, so we must isolate the variable. First, cross multiply. Multiply the first numerator and second denominator, then the first denominator and second numerator.

$\frac {1.8 \ mol \ KCl/L}{1} = \frac{0.14 \ mol \ KCl}{x}$

$1.8 \ mol \ KCl/ L *x = 1*0.14 \ mol \ KCl$

$1.8 \ mol \ KCl/ L *x = 0.14 \ mol \ KCl$

Now x is being multiplied by 1.8 moles of potassium chloride per liter. The inverse operation of multiplication is division, so we divide both sides by 1.8 mol KCl/L.

$\frac {1.8 \ mol \ KCl/ L *x}{1.8 \ mol \ KCl/L} = \frac{0.14 \ mol \ KCl}{1.8 \ mol \ KCl/L}$

$x= \frac{0.14 \ mol \ KCl}{1.8 \ mol \ KCl/L}$

The units of moles of potassium chloride cancel.

$x= \frac{0.14 }{1.8 L}$

$x=0.07777777778 \ L$

The original measurements of moles and molarity have 2 significant figures, so our answer must have the same. For the number we found, that is the thousandth place. The 7 in the ten-thousandth place tells us to round the 7 up to a 8.

$x \approx 0.078 \ L$

There are approximately <u>0.078 liters of solution.</u>

How do genetic factors influence the formation of "dead zones” around creosote bushes?

Korvikt [17]

Answer:

Genetic factors contributes to the formation of the dead zones is by their ability to expand their abilities that enables them to spread and contribute to the formation of the dead zones. These dead zones are made when the oxygen are low where it is necessarily important for the aquatic life, if the oxygen needed is depleted or too low, instead of supporting aquatic life, dead zones are created and factors contribute to these occurrences with their ability to expand.
