Answer:

75mL

Explanation:

Step 1:

The balanced equation for the reaction. This is illustrated below:

C6H8O7 + 3NaHCO3 → Na3C6H5O7 + 3CO2 + 3H2O

Step 2:

Conversion of 15g of baking soda (NaHCO3) to mole.

This is illustrated below:

Mass of NaHCO3 = 15g

Molar Mass of NaHCO3 = 23 + 1 + 12 + (16x3) = 23 + 1 + 12 + 48 = 84g/mol

Number of mole = Mass/Molar Mass

Number of mole of NaHCO3 = 15/84 = 0.179 mole

Step 3:

Determination of the number of mole of citric acid (C6H8O7) produced by the reaction. This is illustrated below:

From the balanced equation above,

1 mole of C6H8O7 reacted with 3 moles of NaHCO3.

Therefore, Xmol of C6H8O7 will react with 0.179 mole of NaHCO3 i.e

Xmol of C6H8O7 = 0.179/3

Xmol of C6H8O7 = 0.06 mole.

Step 4:

Determination of the volume of C6H8O7 needed for the reaction. This is illustrated below:

Molarity of C6H8O7 = 0.8 M

Mole of C6H8O7 = 0.06

Volume =..?

Molarity = mole /Volume

Volume = mole /Molarity

Volume = 0.06/0.8

Volume = 0.075L

Converting 0.075L to mL, we have:

1L = 1000mL

Therefore 0.075L = 0.075 x 1000 = 75mL.

Therefore, 75mL of citric acid (C6H8O7) is needed for the reaction.

A sample of ammonia has a mass of 82.9 g. how many molecules are in this sample?

alina1380 [7]

The chemical formula for ammonia is NH3. So first, you need to find the molar mass of ammonia (how many grams in one mole).
N=14g
H3=3g
So one mole of NH3 is 17 grams, you can divide 82.9 grams by 17 grams to find the number of molecules. The answer should be 4.876 moles (molecules) of ammonia. Hope this helps!

12. The vapor pressure of water at 90°C is 0.692 atm. What is the vapor pressure (in atm) of a solution made by dissolving 3.68

luda_lava [24]

Answer : The vapor pressure (in atm) of a solution is, 0.679 atm

Explanation : Given,

Mass of $H_2O$ = 1.00 kg = 1000 g

Moles of $CsF$ = 3.68 mole

Molar mass of $H_2O$ = 18 g/mole

Vapor pressure of water = 0.692 atm

First we have to calculate the moles of $H_2O$ .

$\text{Moles of }H_2O=\frac{\text{Mass of }H_2O}{\text{Molar mass of }H_2O}=\frac{1000g}{18g/mole}=55.55mole$

Now we have to calculate the mole fraction of $H_2O$

$\text{Mole fraction of }H_2O=\frac{\text{Moles of }H_2O}{\text{Moles of }H_2O+\text{Moles of }CsF}=\frac{55.55}{55.55+3.68}=0.938$

Now we have to partial pressure of solution.

According to the Raoult's law,

$P_{Solution}=X_{H_2O}\times P^o_{H_2O}$

where,

$P_{Solution}$ = vapor pressure of solution

$P^o_{H_2O}$ = vapor pressure of water = 0.692 atm

$X_{H_2O}$ = mole fraction of water = 0.938

$P_{Solution}=X_{H_2O}\times P^o_{H_2O}$

$P_{Solution}=0.938\times 0.692atm$

$P_{Solution}=0.649atm$

Therefore, the vapor pressure (in atm) of a solution is, 0.679 atm

An ice cube is placed on a kitchen counter. Which best describes heat flow in this situation

Sauron [17]

<span>When an ice cube is placed on a kitchen counter, heat will flow from the ice cube to the counter, causing the molecules in the counter to move more slowly. The molecules of the counter move more slowly because the heat transferred to them from the ice has reduced their kinetic energy.</span>
