Like many other organic solvents we will use this semester, ethanol is flammable and caution needs to be exercised when heating

ethanol on the hot plate. What precaution should always be taken when heating solvents on the hot plate?

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

A flammable solvent refers to a solvent that catches fire easily. The precautions to be taken when working with flammable solvents are;

1) heat the solvent at a low to medium hot plate setting.

2) if you need to boil the solvent, use a condenser rather than a flask or beaker without a cover.

3) make sure that the hotplate is larger than the vessel containing the mixture that is being heated.

4) do not use strong oxidizing agents

How many kilograms are in 4 moles of Na2CO3?
castortr0y [4]
First you need to find the amount of mass of Na2CO3 in one moles
(Use periodic chart)

Na= 22.99 x 2 = 45.98
C = 12.01
O = 16.00 x 4 = 64.00

Add the molar masses together to get 121.99

To find how many grams are in 4 moles, times 121.99 by 4
This gives you 487.96

But the questions asks for the answer to be in kilograms nor grams, to change into kilograms divide by 1000
This gets you the answer: 0.49 kg

Determine the concentration of an aqueous solution that has an osmotic pressure of 3.9 atm at 37°C if the solute is sodium chlor
Snowcat [4.5K]

Answer:

Concentration for the solution is 0.153 mol/L

Explanation:

Formula for the osmotic pressure is  π = M . R . T . i

where M is molarity (concentration), R the universal constant for gases and T is Absolute T° (T°C + 273)

π = Osmotic pressure.

Let's replace the data given:

3.9 atm =  M . 0.082L.atm/mol.K . 310K

3.9 atm / 0.082 mol.K/L.atm . 310K = 0.153 mol/L (M)

i = Van't Hoff factor (ions from the solute dissolved in solution)

In this case, we assumed no ion pairing, so i = 1

A 0.1025-g sample of copper metal is dissolved in 35 ml of concentrated hno3 to form cu2 ions and then water is added to make a
GalinKa [24]

Molarity is defined as number of moles of solute in 1 L of solution.

Here, 0.1025 g of Cu is reacted with 35 mL of HNO_{3} to produced Cu^{2+} ions.

The balanced reaction will be as follows:

Cu+3HNO_{3}\rightarrow Cu(NO_{3})_{2}+NO_{2}+H_{2}O

From the above reaction, 1 mole of Cu produces 1 mole of Cu^{2+}, convert the mass of Cu into number of moles as follows:

n=\frac{m}{M}

molar mass of Cu is 63.55 g/mol thus,

n=\frac{0.1025 g}{63.55 g/mol}=0.0016 mol

Now, total molarity of solution, after addition of water is 200 mL or 0.2 L can be calculated as follows:

M=\frac{n}{V}=\frac{0.0016 mol}{0.2 L}=0.008 mol/L=0.008 M

Thus, molarity of Cu^{2+} is 0.008 M.

melisa1 [442]

We have to know the number of Na⁺ ions in the unit cell.

The number of Na⁺ ions in the unit cell is (D) 8.

Sodium oxide (Na2O) crystallizes in a structure in which the O2– ions are in a face - centered cubic lattice and the Na+ ions are in tetrahedral holes.

O²⁻ ions are in a face centred cubic lattice, so the number of O²⁻ ions per unit cell is equal to 4. The number of  tetrahedral hole= 2 X 4=8. Na+ ions are present in tetrahedral holes, which indicates there are 8 number of Na+ ions in the unit cell.

A protein subunit from an enzyme is part of a research study and needs to be characterized. A total of 0.155 g of this subunit w
olga_2 [115]

Answer : The molar mass of protein is, 1.38\times 10^4g/mol

Explanation :

Formula used :

\pi =CRT\\\\\pi=\frac{w\times 1000}{M\times V}RT

where,

\pi = osmotic pressure  = 0.138 atm

C = concentration

R = solution constant  = 0.0821 L.atm/mol.K

T = temperature  = 28^oC=273+28=301K

w = mass of protein subunit = 0.155 g

M = molar mass of protein subunit = ?

V = volume of solution  = 2.00 mL

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:

\pi=\frac{w\times 1000}{M\times V}RT

0.138atm=\frac{0.155g\times 1000}{M\times 2.00ml}\times (0.0821L.atm/mole.K)\times (301K)

M=13878.17g/mol=1.38\times 10^4g/mol

Therefore, the molar mass of protein is, 1.38\times 10^4g/mol
