What is the final volume V2 in milliliters when 0.551 L of a 50.0 % (m/v) solution is diluted to 23.5 % (m/v)?
Answer:
[tex]V_2=1.17L[/tex]
Explanation:
Hello,
In this case, for dilution processes, we must remember that the amount of solute remains the same, therefore, we can write:
[tex]V_1C_1=V_2C_2[/tex]
Whereas V accounts for volume and C for concentration that in this case is %(m/v). In such a way, the final volume V2 turns out:
[tex]V_2=\frac{V_1C_1}{C_2}= \frac{0.551L*50.0\%}{23.5\%}\\ \\V_2=1.17L[/tex]

B. Malleable, brittle, soluble in oil or gasoline, high melting point, simple structure
C. Ionic lattice, conducts electricity, soluble in oil or gasoline, low melting point, ductile
D. Malleable, conducts electricity, high melting point, giant structure, metallic lattice
Answer:
D. Malleable, conducts electricity, high melting point, giant structure, metallic lattice
Explanation:
Copper is a metal with an atomic number of 29. This metal is soft and reddish in color which explains why it is very malleable(beaten to form various shapes without breaking).
All metals are good conductors of electricity including copper which is also a metal. Metals generally are insoluble in water. Copper also has a high melting point which is a characteristic of metals due to their giant structure and metallic lattice which makes it difficult to be broken down.
An actacide tablet containing Mg(OH)2 (MM = 58.3g / (mol)) is titrated with a 0.100 M solution of HNO3. The end point is determined by using an indicator. Based on 20.00mL HNO3 being used to reach the endpoint, what was the mass of the Mg * (OH) in the antacid tablet? * 0.0583 g 0.583 5.83 g 58.3 g
Answer:
0.0583g
Explanation:
The equation of the reaction is;
2HNO3(aq) + Mg(OH)2(aq) -------> Mg(NO3)2(aq) + 2H2O(l)
From the question, number of moles of HNO3 reacted= concentration × volume
Concentration of HNO3= 0.100 M
Volume of HNO3 = 20.00mL
Number of moles of HNO3= 0.100 × 20/1000
Number of moles of HNO3 = 2×10^-3 moles
From the reaction equation;
2 moles of HNO3 reacts with 1 mole of Mg(OH)2
2×10^-3 moles reacts with 2×10^-3 moles ×1/2 = 1 ×10^-3 moles of Mg(OH)2
But
n= m/M
Where;
n= number of moles of Mg(OH)2
m= mass of Mg(OH)2
M= molar mass of Mg(OH)2
m= n×M
m= 1×10^-3 moles × 58.3 gmol-1
m = 0.0583g

Answer:
C) SO3
Explanation:
Lewis formula shows the bonding between atoms of a molecule and expresses the lone pair present in the atoms.
SO3 or Sulfur trioxide cannot be adequately described by a single Lewis formula because it has majorly 3 resonance structures because Sulfur does not follow the octet rule and can expand electrons in its outer shell.
Hence, the correct answer is C) SO3

An aqueous solution of potassium bromide, KBr, contains 4.34 grams of potassium bromide and 17.4 grams of water. The percentage by mass of potassium bromide in the solution is 20 %.
Answer:
True
Explanation:
The percentage by mass of a substance in a solution can be calculated by dividing the mass of the substance dissolved in the solution by the total mass of the solution. This can be expressed mathematically as:
Percentage by mass = mass of substance in solution/mass of solution x 100
In this case;
mass of KBr = 4.34 grams
mass of water = 17.4 grams
mass of solution = mass of KBr + mass of water = 4.34 + 17.4 = 21.74
Percentage by mass of KBr = 4.34/21.74 x 100
= 19.96 %
19.96 is approximately 20%.
Hence, the statement is true.

Given that,
The wavelength of electromagnetic radiation is 963.5 nm.
We need to find the energy of a photon with this wavelength.
The formula used to find the energy of a photon is given by :
[tex]E=\dfrac{hc}{\lambda}\\\\E=\dfrac{6.63\times 10^{-34}\times 3\times 10^8}{963.5\times 10^{-9}}\\\\E=2.06\times 10^{-19}\ J[/tex]
So, the energy of a photon is [tex]2.06\times 10^{-19}\ J[/tex].
A sample of ice absorbs 15.6kJ of heat as it undergoes a reversible phase transition to form liquid water at 0∘C. What is the entropy change for this process in units of JK? Report your answer to three significant figures. Use −273.15∘C for absolute zero.
Answer:
Entropy change of ice changing to water at 0°C is equal to 57.1 J/K
Explanation:
When a substance undergoes a phase change, it occurs at constant temperature.
The entropy change Δs, is given by the formula below;
Δs = q/T
where q is the quantity of heat absorbed or evolved in Joules and T is temperature in Kelvin at which the phase change occur
From the given data, T = 0°C = 273.15 K, q = 15.6 KJ = 15600 J
Δs = 15600 J / 273.15 K
Δs = 57.111 J/K
Therefore, entropy change of ice changing to water at 0°C is equal to 57.1 J/K
The entropy change of ice changing to water will be "57.1 J/K".
Entropy changeThe shift in what seems like a thermodynamic system's condition of confusion is caused by the transformation of heat as well as enthalpy towards activity. Entropy seems to be greater mostly in a network with a high quantity or measure of chaos.
According to the question,
Temperature, T = 0°C or,
= 273.15 K
Heat, q = 15.6 KJ or,
= 15600 J
We know the formula,
Entropy change, Δs = [tex]\frac{q}{T}[/tex]
By substituting the values, we get
= [tex]\frac{15600}{273.15}[/tex]
= 57.11 J/K
Thus the above answer is correct.

In which of the following compounds does the carbonyl stretch in the IR spectrum occur at the lowest wavenumber?
a. Cyclohexanone
b. Ethyl Acetate
c. λ- butyrolactone
d. Pentanamide
e. Propanoyl Chloride
Answer:
a. Cyclohexanone
Explanation:
The principle of IR technique is based on the vibration of the bonds by using the energy that is in this region of the electromagnetic spectrum. For each bond, there is a specific energy that generates a specific vibration. In this case, you want to study the vibration that is given in the carbonyl group C=O. Which is located around 1700 cm-1.
Now, we must remember that the lower the wavenumber we will have less energy. So, what we should look for in these molecules, is a carbonyl group in which less energy is needed to vibrate since we look for the molecule with a smaller wavenumber.
If we look at the structure of all the molecules we will find that in the last three we have heteroatoms (atoms different to carbon I hydrogen) on the right side of the carbonyl group. These atoms allow the production of resonance structures which makes the molecule more stable. If the molecule is more stable we will need more energy to make it vibrate and therefore greater wavenumbers.
The molecule that fulfills this condition is the cyclohexanone.
See figure 1

Compound has a molar mass of and the following composition: elementmass % carbon47.09% hydrogen6.59% chlorine46.33% Write the molecular formula of .
The given question is incomplete. The complete question is:
Compound X has a molar mass of 153.05 g/mol and the following composition:
element mass %
carbon 47.09%
hydrogen 6.59%
chlorine 46.33%
Write the molecular formula of X.
Answer: The molecular formula of X is [tex]C_6H_{10}Cl_2[/tex]
Explanation:
If percentage are given then we are taking total mass is 100 grams.
So, the mass of each element is equal to the percentage given.
Mass of C= 47.09 g
Mass of H = 6.59 g
Mass of Cl = 46.33 g
Step 1 : convert given masses into moles.
Moles of C =[tex]\frac{\text{ given mass of C}}{\text{ molar mass of C}}= \frac{47.09g}{12g/mole}=3.92moles[/tex]
Moles of H =[tex]\frac{\text{ given mass of H}}{\text{ molar mass of H}}= \frac{6.59g}{1g/mole}=6.59moles[/tex]
Moles of Cl =[tex]\frac{\text{ given mass of Cl}}{\text{ molar mass of Cl}}= \frac{46.33g}{35.5g/mole}=1.30moles[/tex]
Step 2 : For the mole ratio, divide each value of moles by the smallest number of moles calculated.
For C = [tex]\frac{3.92}{1.30}=3[/tex]
For H = [tex]\frac{6.59}{1.30}=5[/tex]
For Cl =[tex]\frac{1.30}{1.30}=1[/tex]
The ratio of C : H: Cl= 3: 5 :1
Hence the empirical formula is [tex]C_3H_5Cl[/tex]
The empirical weight of [tex]C_3H_5Cl[/tex] = 3(12)+5(1)+1(35.5)= 76.5g.
The molecular weight = 153.05 g/mole
Now we have to calculate the molecular formula.
[tex]n=\frac{\text{Molecular weight }}{\text{Equivalent weight}}=\frac{153.05}{76.5}=2[/tex]
The molecular formula will be=[tex]2\times C_3H_5Cl=C_6H_{10}Cl_2[/tex]

Why will the conjugate base of a weak acid affect pH? Select the correct answer below: it will react with hydroxide
Answer:
It will react with water
Explanation:
I know this is an older question, but I just wanted to provide the correct answer.
Since we are dealing with a weak base, and the acid is somewhat stronger, it will react with the water molecules to produce hydronium, which will affect the pH of the solution.
The conjugate base of a weak acid affect pH because it will react with hydronium ion.
A weak acid is an acid that does not dissociate completely in water. On the other hand, a strong acid achieves almost 100% dissociation in water.
Acids dissociate in water to yield the hydronium ion and a conjugate base. For instance, the weak acid, acetic acid is dissociated as follows;
CH3COOH(aq) + H2O(l) ⇄ CH3COO-(aq) + H3O+(aq)
We can see that the conjugate base( CH3COO-) could react with the hydronium ions thereby moving the equilibrium position to the left hand side and affecting the pH by decreasing the hydronium ion concentration.

Calculate the amount of heat that must be absorbed by 10.0 g of ice at –20°C to convert it to liquid water at 60.0°C. Given: specific heat (ice) = 2.1 J/g·°C; specific heat (water) = 4.18 J/g·°C; ΔH fus = 6.0 kJ/mol.
Answer:
The amount of heat to absorb is 6,261 J
Explanation:
Calorimetry is in charge of measuring the amount of heat generated or lost in certain physical or chemical processes.
The total energy required is the sum of the energy to heat the ice from -20 ° C to ice of 0 ° C, melting the ice of 0 ° C in 0 ° C water and finally heating the water to 60 ° C.
So:
Heat required to raise the temperature of ice from -20 °C to 0 °CBeing the sensible heat of a body the amount of heat received or transferred by a body when it undergoes a temperature variation (Δt) without there being a change of physical state (solid, liquid or gaseous), the expression is used:
Q = c * m * ΔT
Where Q is the heat exchanged by a body of mass m, made up of a specific heat substance c and where ΔT is the temperature variation (ΔT=Tfinal - Tinitial).
In this case, m= 10 g, specific heat of the ice= 2.1 [tex]\frac{J}{g*C}[/tex] and ΔT=0 C - (-20 C)= 20 C
Replacing: Q= 10 g*2.1 [tex]\frac{J}{g*C}[/tex] *20 C and solving: Q=420 J
Heat required to convert 0 °C ice to 0 °C waterThe heat Q necessary to melt a substance depends on its mass m and on the called latent heat of fusion of each substance:
Q= m* ΔHfusion
In this case, being 1 mol of water= 18 grams: Q= 10 g*[tex]6.0 \frac{kJ}{mol} *\frac{1 mol of water}{18 g}[/tex]= 3.333 kJ= 3,333 J (being kJ=1,000 J)
Heat required to raise the temperature of water from 0 °C to 60 °CIn this case the expression used in the first step is used, but being: m= 10 g, specific heat of the water= 4.18 [tex]\frac{J}{g*C}[/tex] and ΔT=60 C - (0 C)= 60 C
Replacing: Q= 10 g*4.18 [tex]\frac{J}{g*C}[/tex] *60 C and solving: Q=2,508 J
Finally, Qtotal= 420 J + 3,333 J + 2,508 J
Qtotal= 6,261 J
The amount of heat to absorb is 6,261 J
The amount of heat to absorb is 6,261 J.
Calculation for heat:Heat required to raise the temperature of ice from -20 °C to 0 °C.
The formula for specific heat is used to calculate the amount of heat
Q = c * m * ΔT
Where,
Q =heat exchanged by a body,
m= mass of the body
c= specific heat
ΔT= change in temperature
Given:
m= 10 g,
specific heat of the ice= 2.1
ΔT=0 C - (-20 C)= 20 C
On substituting the values:
Q= 10 g*2.1 *20 C
Q=420 J
Heat required to convert 0 °C ice to 0 °C water.
The heat Q necessary to melt a substance depends on its mass m and on the called latent heat of fusion of each substance:
Q= m* ΔHfusion
Heat required to raise the temperature of water from 0 °C to 60 °C
m= 10 g,
Specific heat of the water= 4.18
ΔT=60 C - (0 C)= 60 C
On substituting:
Q= 10 g*4.18 *60 C
Q=2,508 J
Thus, Qtotal= 420 J + 3,333 J + 2,508 J
Qtotal= 6,261 J
The amount of heat to absorb is 6,261 J

The given question is incomplete.
The complete question is:
When methane is burned with oxygen, the products are carbon dioxide and water. If you produce 9 grams of water and 11 grams of carbon dioxide from 16 grams of oxygen, how many grams of methane were needed for the reaction?
Answer: 4 grams of methane were needed for the reaction
Explanation:
According to the law of conservation of mass, mass can neither be created nor be destroyed. Thus the mass of products has to be equal to the mass of reactants. The number of atoms of each element has to be same on reactant and product side. Thus chemical equations are balanced.
{tex]CH_4+2O_2\rightarrow CO_2+H_2O[/tex]
Given: mass of oxygen = 16 g
Mass of carbon dioxide = 11 g
Mass of water = 9 g
Mass of products = Mass of carbon dioxide + mass of water = 11 g +9 g = 20 g
Mass or reactant = mass of methane + mass of oxygen = mass of methane + 16 g
As mass of reactants = mass of products
mass of methane + 16 g= 20 g
mass of methane = 4 g
Thus 4 grams of methane were needed for the reaction
