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

A laboratory analysis of a sample finds it is composed of 38.8% carbon, 16.2% hydrogen, and 45.1% nitrogen. What is its empirica
Sladkaya [172]

Answer: The empirical formula for the given compound is CH_5N

Explanation : Given,

Percentage of C = 38.8 %

Percentage of H = 16.2 %

Percentage of N = 45.1 %

Let the mass of compound be 100 g. So, percentages given are taken as mass.

Mass of C = 38.8 g

Mass of H = 16.2 g

Mass of N = 45.4 g

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

Step 1: Converting the given masses into moles.

Moles of Carbon =\frac{\text{Given mass of Carbon}}{\text{Molar mass of Carbon}}=\frac{38.8g}{12g/mole}=3.23moles

Moles of Hydrogen = \frac{\text{Given mass of Hydrogen}}{\text{Molar mass of Hydrogen}}=\frac{16.2g}{1g/mole}=16.2moles

Moles of Nitrogen = \frac{\text{Given mass of nitrogen}}{\text{Molar mass of nitrogen}}=\frac{45.4g}{14g/mole}=3.24moles

Step 2: Calculating the mole ratio of the given elements.

For the mole ratio, we divide each value of the moles by the smallest number of moles calculated which is 3.23 moles.

For Carbon = \frac{3.23}{3.23}=1

For Hydrogen  = \frac{16.2}{3.23}=5.01\approx 5

For Oxygen  = \frac{3.24}{3.23}=1.00\approx 1

Step 3: Taking the mole ratio as their subscripts.

The ratio of C : H : N = 1 : 5 : 1

Hence, the empirical formula for the given compound is C_1H_5N_1=CH_5N
