A certain substance X has a normal boiling point of 117.8°C and a molal boiling point elevation constant =Kb·0.63°C·kgmol−1. A solution is prepared by dissolving some urea NH22CO in 900.g of X. This solution boils at 118.3°C. Calculate the mass of urea that was dissolved. Round your answer to 1 significant digit.

42.8 g was the mass of dissolved urea.

Explanation:

Boiling point elevation to solve this:

ΔT = Kb . m

where ΔT → Boiling T° of solution - Boiling T° of pure solvent

Let's replace the data given:

118.3°C - 117.8°C = 0.63°C/m . m

0.5°C / 0.63 m/°C = m → 0.793 mol/kg

Mass of solvent → 900 g → g to kg → 900 g . 1kg/1000 = 0.9 kg

Molality . kg = moles → 0.793 mol/kg . 0.9 kg = 0.714 mol

These are the moles of urea we used. Let's determine the mass dissolved.

0.714 mol . 60 g /1mol = 42.8 g

i don,t know so just answer mine

a. energy is absorbed in the reaction.

if in a given reaction the energy of products is greater than the energy of reactants it means that reaction is endothermic and during the reaction, the energy is absorbed by reactants. in an endothermic reaction, the products have more stored chemical energy than the reactants. and in this reaction the reactants are more stable than products before the compounds with less energy are always more stable.
