If the density of methanol is 0.793 kg L^(-1), what is its volume needed for making 2.5 L of its 0.25 M solution ?

Answer»



Solution :DENSITY `= 0.793 Kg//L = 0.793 xx 10^(3) gm//L`
Final volume `= 2.5 L = V_(2)`
final molarity `= 0.25M = M_(2)`

If the density of a solution is 3.12 g mL^(-1), the mass of 1.5 mL solution in significant figures is .........

Answer»

4.7 g
`4680xx10^(-3)` g

46.80 g

SOLUTION :DENSITY of solution `= 3.12 g mL^(-1)` (GIVEN)
Volume of solution `= 1.5` mL
For a solution,
Mass `= "volume" xx "density`
`= 1.5 mL xx 3.12 g mL^(-1)= 4.68g`
The DIGIT 1.5 has only two significant figures, figures, so the answer must also be limited to two significant figures. So, it is rounded off to reduce the number of significant figures. Hence, the answer is reported as 4.7 g.

If the de Broglie wavelength of a particle of mass m is 100 times its velocity, then its value in terms of its mass (m) and Planck's constant (h) is

Answer»

`(1)/(10) sqrt((m)/(h))`
`10 sqrt((h)/(m))`
