Please Help Potassium sulfate has a solubility of 15g/100g water at 40 Celsius. A solution is prepared by adding 39.0g of potass

ium sulfate to 225g water, carefully heating the solution, and cooling it to 40 Celsius. A homogeneous solution is obtained. Is this solution saturated, unsaturated, or supersaturated? The beaker is shaken and precipitation occurs. How many grams of potassium sulfate would you except to crystallize out?

To determine the state of saturation of the solution, we calculate the mass of solute per mass of water for the given amounts and compare this value to the solubility. If the value is less than the solubility, then the solution is unsaturated. If it is greater than solubility, then it is supersaturated. If it is equal to the solubility, then it is saturated.

mass solute / mass water  = 39.0 grams K2SO4 / 225 grams H2O = 0.173 g K2SO4/ g H2O
solubility = 15 g /100 g = .15 g/g

Therefore, the solution is supersaturated. When it is shaken, some of the solute would precipitate out. 

mass of solute soluble to water = .15 g K2SO4/ g water ( 225 g water ) = 33.75 g K2SO4
mass of K2SO4 that would crystallize = 39.0 - 33.75 = 5.25 g K2SO4

A 45 mL sample of nitrogen gas is cooled from 135ºC to 15C in a container that can contract or expand at constant pressure. Wha
Vanyuwa [196]

Answer:

V₂ =31.8 mL

Explanation:

Given data:

Initial  volume of gas = 45 mL

Initial temperature = 135°C (135+273 =408 K)

Final temperature = 15°C (15+273 =288 K)

Final volume of gas = ?

Solution:

The given problem will be solve through the Charles Law.

According to this law, The volume of given amount of a gas is directly proportional to its temperature at constant number of moles and pressure.

Mathematical expression:

V₁/T₁ = V₂/T₂

V₁ = Initial volume

T₁ = Initial temperature

V₂ = Final volume  

T₂ = Final temperature

Now we will put the values in formula.

V₁/T₁ = V₂/T₂

V₂ = V₁T₂/T₁  

V₂ = 45 mL × 288 K / 408 k

V₂ = 12960 mL.K / 408 K

V₂ =31.8 mL

Consider a 20.0 % (m/v) solution. how can this be written as a conversion factor?
White raven [17]
A conversion factor is a fraction or a ratio representing a relationship of two different measurement values. To write 20% m/v to a conversion factor, we need to remember that a percent is a value that represents the amount of a part per 100 units of the whole. M/v in the given value represents that the percentage is by mass per volume. So, to write it as a conversion factor, we do as follows:

20% m/v = 20 mass units / 100 volume units = 1 mass units / 5 volume units

Usually units of this are in g per L. So, it is equivalent to 1 g / 5 L
