Each element or compound has a molar mass, which is calculated by multiplying the atomic mass of each element by the amount of atoms of that element, and summing the results of each element. The molar mass is measured in g/mol. So you divide the mass in grams by the molar mass to get the amount of moles.
Example:
There are 5g of water.
Calculate the amount of moles.
The water's formula is H2O, so the molar mass of it is
g/mol.
The amount of moles is:
5g ÷ 18g/mol ~ 0.28mol
Explanation:
Let us assume that total mass of the solution is 100 g. And, as it is given that acetic acid solution is 12% by mass which means that mass of acetic acid is 12 g and 88 g is the water.
Now, calculate the number of moles of acetic acid as its molar mass is 60 g/mol.
No. of moles =
=
= 0.2 mol
Molarity of acetic acid is calculated as follows.
Density =
1 g/ml =
volume = 100 ml
Hence, molarity =
=
= 2 mol/l
As reaction equation for the given reaction is as follows.
So, moles of NaOH = moles of acetic acid
Let us suppose that moles of NaOH are "x".
(as 1 L = 1000 ml)
x = 20 L
Thus, we can conclude that volume of NaOH required is 20 ml.
Answer:
Swelling of the red blood cells occurs.
Explanation:
- <u>Distilled water makes the blood hypotonic ,. that is a less concentrated solution, to the body tissues including the red blood cells. </u>
- Therefore the water will enter the red blood cells and may cause them to lyse or swell.
- <em>Additionally , water will enter the tissue spaces and cause sweling. </em>
- But in the case of a hypertonic solution , ( a salt or saline solution ) , <em>This swelling does not happen because the concentration of the saline will be equal or more than the blood. </em>
- Thus the water will flow only from the blood to the solution. <u>This will not cause swelling.</u>
- But too much of salt is also not recommended.
