A 1.775g sample mixture of KHCO₃ is decomposed by heating. if the mass loss is 0.275g, the mass percentage of KHCO₃ is 70.4%.

<h3>What is a decomposition reaction?</h3>

A decomposition reaction can be defined as a chemical reaction in which one reactant breaks down into two or more products.

  • Step 1: Write the balanced equation for the decomposition of KHCO₃.

2 KHCO₃(s) → K₂CO₃(s) + CO₂(g) + H₂O(l)

The mass loss of 0.275 g is due to the gaseous CO₂ that escapes the sample.

  • Step 2: Calculate the mass of KHCO₃ that formed 0.275 g of CO₂.

In the balanced equation, the mass ratio of KHCO₃ to CO₂ is 200.24:44.01.

0.275 g CO₂ × 200.24 g KHCO₃/44.01 g CO₂ = 1.25 g KHCO₃

  • Step 3: Calculate the mass percentage of KHCO₃ in the sample.

There are 1.25 g of KHCO₃ in the 1.775 g sample.

%KHCO₃ = 1.25 g/1.775 g × 100% = 70.4%

A 1.775g sample mixture of KHCO₃ is decomposed by heating. if the mass loss is 0.275g, the mass percentage of KHCO₃ is 70.4%.

Which of the following is not the same as 5.63 grams?<br> 5,630 mg<br> 0.563 hg <br> 0.00563 kg
Lady bird [3.3K]
Units of measure is defined as a the magnitude of a certain quantity. There are a lot of units that we can use for mass. Kilograms, grams, tons, pounds and slugs are some of the examples. There are some units where certain prefixes changes its magnitude. One thousand grams is one kilogram. One thousand mg is one gram. 5.63 grams is 5,630 mg and 0.00563 kg is 5.63 grams. Hence the answer here is 0.563 hg.

Arrange the following H atom electron transitions in order of increasing frequency of the photon absorbed or emitted:
ololo11 [35]

Hence the order of the transition in order of increasing frequency of the photon absorbed or emitted  will be : d < a < c < b

E = -13.6×Z²/n²

where,

E = energy of  orbit

n = number of orbit

Z = atomic number

Energy of n = 1 in an hydrogen atom:

E₁ = -13.6× 1²/1² = -13.6eV

Energy of n = 2 in an hydrogen atom:

E₂ = -13.6 × 1²/2² = -3.40eV

Energy of n = 3 in an hydrogen atom:

E₃ = -13.6× 1²/3² = -1.51eV

Energy of n = 4 in an hydrogen atom:

E₄ = -13.6× 1²/4² = -0.85eV

Energy of n = 5 in an hydrogen atom:

E₃ = -13.6× 1²/ 5² = -0.54eV

a) n = 2 to n = 4 (absorption)

ΔE₁ = E₄ - E₂ = -0.85- (- 3.40) = 2.55eV

b) n = 2 to n = 1 (emission)

Δ E₂ = E₁ - E₂ = -13.6 - (- 3.40) = -10.2eV

Negative sign indicates that emission will take place.

c) n = 2 to n = 5 (absorption)

ΔE₃ = E₅ - E₂ = -0.54 -( -3.40) = -2.85eV

d) n = 4 to n = 3 (emission)

ΔE₄ = E₃ - E₄ = -1.51 - (- 0.85) = - 0.66eV

Negative sign indicates that emission will take place.

According to Planck's equation, higher the frequency of the wave higher will be the energy:

E = hv

h = Planck's constant

v =frequency of the wave

So, the increasing order of magnitude of the energy difference :

E₄< E₁ <E₃ <E₂

The  H atom electron transitions in order of increasing frequency of the photon absorbed or emitted will be d < a < c < b

: d < a < c < b

How do you detect which material is going to be positively charged or negatively charged?
I am Lyosha [343]

Answer:

If a material gains electrons, its going to be Negatively charged

If a material loses electrons, its gonna be positively charged.

Explanation:

Why?

This is because electrons are negative subatomic particles

The compound zinc fluoride is a strong electrolyte. write the transformation that occurs when solid zinc fluoride dissolves in w
Svetach [21]
Strong electrolytes by definition are those compounds that completely dissociates into their component ions when dissolved in water. The chemical formula for the zinc fluoride is,
               ZnF2
This means that each formula unit is composed of one atom of zinc and 2 atoms of fluoride. The ions comprising the unit are Zn²⁺ and F⁻. The dissociation is as shown below,
              ZnF₂ -->  Zn²⁺  + 2F⁻
When dissolved in water it is expected that the compound dissociates into three different ions, one Zn²⁺ and two F⁻.
