Answer:

Sodium chloride is an ionic compound which makes it stronger and have a higher melting and boiling point. Candle wax is a covalent compound so it has a low melting point.

What is the number of moles of solute in a .3 molality solution containing .10 kg of solvent?

denpristay [2]

Concentration can be expressed in different forms: molarity, molality, normality, percentage, part per million and many more. For molality, it is a unit of concentration expressed as moles of solute per kilogram of solvent. Therefore,

0.3 = moles solute/0.10 kg solvent
moles solute = 0.03 moles

Arrange the following substances in order of decreasing magnitude of lattice energy. Rank the compounds in order of decreasing m

True [87]

The lattice energy of the compounds is distributed in the following decreasing order of magnitude: MgO > CaO > NaF > KCl.

<h3>KCl or NaF, which has a higher lattice energy?</h3>

The lattice energy increases with increasing charge and decreasing ion size.(Refer to Coulomb's Law.)MgF2 > MgO.Following that, we can examine NaF and KCl (both of which have 1+ and 1-charges), as well as atomic radii.NaF will have a larger LE than KCl since Na is smaller then K and F was smaller than Cl.

<h3>MgO or CaO, which has a larger lattice energy?</h3>

MGO is more difficult than CaO, hence.This is because "Mg" (two-plus) ions are smaller than "Ca" (two-plus) ions in size.MgO has higher lattice energy as a result.

What is the mole, and why is it useful in chemistry?

Snowcat [4.5K]

Answer:The mole is important because it allows chemists to work with the subatomic world with macro world units and amounts. Atoms, molecules and formula units are very small and very difficult to work with usually. However, the mole allows a chemist to work with amounts large enough to use.

Salt in crude oil must be removed before the oil undergoes processing in a refinery. The

irina1246 [14]

Answer:

$\large \boxed{0.64 \, \%}$

Explanation:

Assume you are using 1 L of water.

Then you are washing 4 L of salty oil.

1. Calculate the mass of the salty oil

Assume the oil has a density of 0.86 g/mL.

$\text{Mass of oil} = \text{4000 mL} \times \dfrac{\text{0.86 g}}{\text{1 mL}} = \text{3440 g}$

2. Calculate the mass of salt in the salty oil

$\text{Mass of salt} = \text{3440 g} \times \dfrac{\text{5 g salt}}{\text{100 g oil}} = \text{172 g salt}$

3. Calculate the mass of salt in the spent water

$\text{Mass of salt} = \text{1000 g water} \times \dfrac{\text{15 g salt}}{\text{100 g water}} = \text{150 g salt}$

4. Mass of salt remaining in washed oil

Mass = 172 g - 150 g = 22 g

5. Concentration of salt in washed oil

$\text{Concentration} = \dfrac{\text{22 g}}{\text{3440 g}} \times 100 \, \% = \mathbf{0.64 \, \%}\\\\\text{The concentration of salt in the washed oil is $\large \boxed{\mathbf{0.64 \, \%}}$}$
