(i) We start by calculating the mass of sugar in the solution:

mass of sugar = concentration × solution mass

mass of sugar = 2.5/100 × 500 = 12.5 g

Then now we can calculate the amount of water:

solution mass = mass of sugar + mass of water

mass of water = solution mass - mass of sugar

mass of water = 500 - 12.5 = 487.5 g

(ii) We use the following reasoning:

If 500 g solution contains 12.5 g sugar

Then X g solution contains 75 g sugar

X=(500×75)/12.5 = 3000 g solution

Now to get the amount of solution in liters we use density (we assume that is equal to 1):

Density = mass / volume

Volume = mass / density

Volume = 3000 / 1 = 3000 liters of sugar solution

Why does silver iodide have a higher melting point than vanillin

MAVERICK [17]

AgI has a higher melting point than vanillin because it is an ionic compound. The bonds are held more tightly together than in vanillin because it is a covalent compound. Ionic bonds have a higher melting point because the electrons are being transferred from one atom to the other.

The decomposition of copper(II) nitrate on heating is endothermic reaction. 2Cu(NO3)2(s) → 2C10(s) + 4NO2(g) + O2(g) Calculate t

Basile [38]

Answer:

The enthalpy change for the given reaction is 424 kJ.

Explanation:

$2Cu(NO_3)_2(s)\rightarrow 2CuO(s) + 4NO_2(g) + O_2(g),\Delta H_{rxn}=?$

We have :

Enthalpy changes of formation of following s:

$\Delta H_{f,Cu(NO_3)_2}=-302.9 kJ/mol$

$\Delta H_{f,CuO}=-157.3 kJ/mol$

$\Delta H_{f,NO_2}= 33.2 kJ/mol$

$\Delta H_{f,O_2}= 0 kJ/mol$ (standard state)

$\Delta H_{rxn}=\sum [\Delta H_f(product)]-\sum [\Delta H_f(reactant)]$

The equation for the enthalpy change of the given reaction is:

$\Delta H_{rxn}$ =

$=(2 mol\times \Delta H_{f,CuO}+4\times \Delta H_{f,NO_2}+1 mol\times \Delta H_{f,O_2})-(2mol\times \Delta H_{f,Cu(NO_3)_2})$

$\Delta H_{rxn}$ =

$(2mol\times (-157.3 kJ/mol)+4\times 33.2 kJ/mol=1 mol\times 0 kJ/mol)-(2 mol\times (-302.9 kJ/mol)$

$\Delta H_{rxn}=424 kJ$

The enthalpy change for the given reaction is 424 kJ.

Draw the condensed structural formula in the equation for the saponification of trimyristin with koh

Ludmilka [50]

Explanation: Saponification reaction is a reaction in which hydrolysis of fats takes place under basic conditions giving glycerol and a salt of corresponding fatty acid.

We are given a Fatty acid called as Trimyristin.

Its reaction with KOH leads to the formation of soap and is given by the equation:

$Trimyristin+3 KOH\rightarrow Glycerol+Soap$
