Sue has 400 grams of water to start with, then she dissolves salt into the water. Ending with 405 grams of mixture this means she added 5 grams of salt. 

5 grams.

A 0.050 M solution of AlCl3 had an observed osmotic pressure of 3.85 atmatm at 20°C.Calculate the van't Hoff factor iii for AlCl
Alja [10]

Answer:

The actual Van't Hoff factor for AlCl3 is 3.20

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Molarity of AlCl3 = 0.050 M

osmotic pressure = 3.85 atm

Temperature = 20 °C

Step 2: Calculate the Van't Hoff factor

AlCl3(aq) → Al^3+(aq) + 3Cl^-(aq)

The theoretical value is 4 ( because 1 Al^3+ ion + 3 Cl- ions) BUT due to the interionic atractions the actual value will be less

Osmotic pressure depends on the molar concentration of the solute but not on its identity., and is calculated by:

π = i.M.R.T

 ⇒ with π = the osmotic pressure = 3.85 atm

⇒ with i = the van't Hoff factor

⇒ with M = the molar concentration of the solution = 0.050 M

⇒ with R = the gas constant = 0.08206 L*atm/K*mol

⇒ with T = the temperature = 20 °C = 293.15 Kelvin

i = π /(M*R*T )

i = (3.85) / (0.050*0.08206*293.15)

i = 3.20

The actual Van't Hoff factor is 3.20

An unknown solid is entirely soluble in water. On addition of dilute HCl, a precipitate forms. After the precipitate is filtered
Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Answer:

Pb(NO3)2

Cd(NO3)2

Na2SO4

Explanation:

In the first part, addition of HCl leads to the formation of PbCl2 which is poorly soluble in water. This is the first precipitate that is filtered off.

When the pH is adjusted to 1 and H2S is bubbled in, CdS is formed. This is the second precipitate that is filtered off.

After this precipitate has been filtered off and the pH is adjusted to 8, addition of H2S and (NH4)2HPO4 does not lead to the formation of any other precipitate.

The yellow flame colour indicates the presence of Na^+ which must come from the presence of Na2SO4.

During a combustion reaction, 9.00 grams of oxygen reacted with 3.00 grams of CH4.
Monica [59]

Answer:

0.74 grams of methane

Explanation:

The balanced equation of the combustion reaction of methane with oxygen is:

  • CH₄ + 2 O₂ → CO₂ + 2 H₂O

it is clear that 1 mol of CH₄ reacts with 2 mol of O₂.

firstly, we need to calculate the number of moles of both

for CH₄:

number of moles = mass / molar mass = (3.00 g) /  (16.00 g/mol) = 0.1875 mol.

for O₂:

number of moles = mass / molar mass = (9.00 g) /  (32.00 g/mol) = 0.2812 mol.

  • it is clear that O₂ is the limiting reactant and methane will leftover.

using cross multiplication

1 mol of  CH₄ needs → 2 mol of O₂

???  mol of  CH₄  needs → 0.2812 mol of O₂

∴ the number of mol of CH₄ needed = (0.2812 * 1) / 2 = 0.1406 mol

so 0.14 mol will react and the remaining CH₄

mol of CH₄ left over = 0.1875 -0.1406 = 0.0469 mol

now we convert moles into grams

mass of CH₄ left over = no. of mol of CH₄ left over *  molar mass

                                    = 0.0469 mol * 16 g/mol = 0.7504 g

So, the right choice is 0.74 grams of methane

A sample of ammonia gas at 75°c and 445 mm hg has a volume of 16.0 l. what volume will it occupy if the pressure rises to 1225 m
ioda
In this kind of exercises, you should  use the "ideal gas" rules: PV = nRT
P should be in Pascal: 
445mmHg = 59328Pa
1225mmHg = 163319Pa

V should be in cubic meter:
16L = 0.016 m3

R = \frac{PV}{nT} = constant
\frac{P1 V1}{n T} = \frac{P2 V2}{n T}
==> P1 * V1 = P2 * V2
V2 = \frac{P1 V1}{P2} = \frac{445 0.016}{1225}
V2 = 0.00581 m3 = 5.81 L
