Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The diagram a has to be labeled as strong electrolyte, weak electrolyte or nonelectrolyte.
Concept Introduction:
A substance that conducts electricity in water is called as electrolyte and substance that does not conduct electricity in water is called as nonelectrolyte.
Strong electrolyte: An electrolyte that completely dissociates to form ions, when it dissolves in water is called as strong electrolyte.
Weak electrolyte: An electrolyte in which molecules (a small fraction) forms ions, when dissolves in water to give largely uncharged molecules is called as weak electrolyte.
(b)
Interpretation:
The diagram b has to be labeled as strong electrolyte, weak electrolyte or nonelectrolyte.
Concept Introduction:
Refer to part (a).

- How do we define the mass percent composition of a solution? Give an example of a solution, and explain the relative amounts of solute and solvent present in the solution in terms of the mass percent composition.arrow_forwardA throat spray is 1.40% by mass phenol, C6H5OH, in water. If the solution has a density of 0.9956 g/mL, calculate the molarity of the solution.arrow_forwardA solution is 0.1% by mass calcium chloride. Therefore, 100. g of the solution contains g of calcium chloride.arrow_forward
- Ammonium chloride is a strong electrolyte. Draw a molecular-level picture of this substance after it dissolves in water.arrow_forwardMolarity is a conversion factor relating moles of solute in solution to the volume of the solution. How does one use molarity as a conversion factor to convert from moles of solute to volume of solution, and from volume of solution to moles of solute present?arrow_forwardDistinguish between the solute and solvent in each of the following solutions: a saltwater [NaCl(aq)]; b sterling silver (92.5%Ag,7.5%Cu); c air about 80%N2,20%O2. On what do you base your distinctions? Sterling silver is an alloy of 92.5 silver and 7.5 another metal, usually copper.arrow_forward
- What mass of HCl is contained in 45.0 mL of an aqueous HCl solution that has a density of 1.19 g cm-3 and contains 37.21% HCl by mass?arrow_forwardA student weighs out a 4.80-g sample of aluminum bromide, transfers it to a 100-mL volumetric flask, adds enough water to dissolve it, and then adds water to the 100-mL mark. What is the molarity of aluminum bromide in the resulting solution?arrow_forwardA cough syrup contains 5.0% ethyl alcohol, C2H5OH, by mass. If the density of the solution is 0.9928 g/mL, determine the molarity of the alcohol in the cough syrup.arrow_forward
- A solution is formed by mixing 1 gal ethanol with 10 gal gasoline. Identify the solvent and the solute.arrow_forwardExplain how you would prepare the following dilute solutions from the more concentrated ones: a.5.00L of 6.00MH2SO4 from a 18.0MH2SO4 solution b.250mL of 0.500MCaCl2 from a 3.00MCaCl2 solution c.200mL of 1.50%(w/v)KBr from a 10.0%(w/v)KBr solution d.500mL of 10.0%(v/v) alcohol from 50.0%(v/v) alcoholarrow_forwardThe units of parts per million (ppm) and parts per billion (ppb) are commonly used by environmental chemists. In general, 1 ppm means 1 part of solute for every 106 parts of solution. Mathematically, by mass: ppm=gsolutegsolution=mgsolutekgsolution In the case of very dilute aqueous solutions, a concentration of 1.0 ppm is equal to 1.0 g of solute per 1.0 mL, which equals 1.0 g solution. Parts per billion is defined in a similar fashion. Calculate the molarity of each of the following aqueous solutions. a. 5.0 ppb Hg in H2O b. 1.0 ppb CHCl3 in H2O c. 10.0 ppm As in H2O d. 0.10 ppm DDT (C14H9Cl5) in H2Oarrow_forward
