Answer:

0.77mol/Kg.

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Mass of NaCl = 4.5g

Mass of water = 100g.

Molality =...?

Next, we shall determine the number of mole in 4.5g of NaCl. This can be obtained as follow:

Mass of NaCl = 4g.

Molar mass of NaCl = 23 + 35.5 = 58.5g/mol

Number of mole NaCl =..?

Mole = Mass /Molar Mass

Number of mole of NaCl = 4.5/58.5

Number of mole of NaCl = 0.077 mole.

Next, we shall convert 100g of water to kilograms. This is illustrated below:

1000g = 1kg

Therefore, 100g = 100/1000 = 0.1Kg.

Finally, we can determine the molality of the solution as follow:

Molality is simply defined as the mole of solute per unit kilogram of solvent (water). Mathematically, it is represented as:

Molarity = mole of solute / kg of solvent

Mole of solute, NaCl = 0.077 mole

Kg of solvent = 0.1kg

Molality = 0.077mol/0.1kg

Molality = 0.77mol/Kg

How does 0.5 m sucrose (molecular mass 342) solution compare to 0.5 m glucose (molecular mass 180) solution?
mash [69]

Answer : Both solutions contain 3.011 X 10^{23} molecules.

Explanation : The number of molecules of 0.5 M of sucrose is equal to the number of molecules in 0.5 M of glucose. Both solutions contain 3.011 x 10^{23} molecules.

Avogadro's Number is  N_{A} =  6.022 X 10^{23} which represents particles per mole and particles may be typically molecules, atoms, ions, electrons, etc.

Here, only molarity values are given; where molarity is a measurement of concentration in terms of moles of the solute per liter of solvent.

Since each substance has the same concentration, 0.5 M, each will have the same number of molecules present per liter of solution.

Addition of molar mass for individual substance is not needed. As if both are considered in 1 Liter they would have same moles which is 0.5.

We can calculate the number of molecules for each;

Number of molecules  = N_{A} X M;

∴  Number of molecules =  6.022 X 10^{23} X 0.5 mol/L X 1 L which will be  = 3.011 X 10^{23}

Thus, these solutions compare to each other in that they have not only the same concentration, but they will have the same number of solvated sugar molecules. But the mass of glucose dissolved will be less than the mass of sucrose.

The reaction pcl3(g)+cl2(g)←−→pcl5(g) has kp=0.0870 at 300 ∘c. a flask is charged with 0.50atmpcl3, 0.50atmcl2, and 0.20atmpcl5
bearhunter [10]
The question only asks regarding the direction of the equilibrium reaction. The general expression of Kp is:

Kp = [PCl₅]/[PCl₃][Cl₂]

The higher the value of K (greater than 1), the more spontaneous the reaction (favors the product side). Otherwise, it favors the reactant side. Since Kp = 0.087 which is less than 1, the direction favors the forward reaction towards the product side.

Ad libitum [116K]

Answer: the way root cells reproduce to increase root length

Explanation:

Rudolf Ludwig Carl Virchowas known as the founder of social medicine and also the father of modern pathology.

Virchow posited that all cells are gotten from already existing cells and he used this in his work towards cellular pathology, as it was made clear that diseases takes place at the cellular level. He posited that the cells that are malfunctioning cause diseases.

Based on the above analysis, the image that Tumu would most likely use in his assignment to feature Rudolf Virchow is the way root cells reproduce to increase root length.
