Webb has calculated the percent composition of a compound. He can check his result by adding them to see if they equal up to 100. Why? Well, percent composition tells the quantity of elements with 100 as a base of total amount. This means that it will have to add to 100 to check the result. You would add up all of the values of percent composition of elements to see if they equal 100, and if they do, the results are accurate.

Your final answer: Webb can check his result by seeing if they add up to 100, considering that is the base total quantity.

Will a precipitate of magnesium fluoride form when 300. mL of 1.1 × 10 –3 M MgCl 2 are added to 500. mL of 1.2 × 10 –3 M NaF? [K
Tju [1.3M]

Answer:

No precipitate is formed.

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, given the dissociation reaction of magnesium fluoride:

MgF_2(s)\rightleftharpoons Mg^{2+}+2F^-

And the undergoing chemical reaction:

MgCl_2+2NaF\rightarrow MgF_2+2NaCl

We need to compute the yielded moles of magnesium fluoride, but first we need to identify the limiting reactant for which we compute the available moles of magnesium chloride:

n_{MgCl_2}=0.3L*1.1x10^{-3}mol/L=3.3x10^{-4}molMgCl_2

Next, the moles of magnesium chloride consumed by the sodium fluoride:

n_{MgCl_2}^{consumed}=0.5L*1.2x10^{-3}molNaF/L*\frac{1molCaCl_2}{2molNaF} =3x10^{-4}molMgCl_2

Thus, less moles are consumed by the NaF, for which the moles of formed magnesium fluoride are:

n_{MgF_2}=3x10^{-4}molMgCl_2*\frac{1molMgF_2}{1molMgCl_2}=3x10^{-4}molMgF_2

Next, since the magnesium fluoride to magnesium and fluoride ions is in a 1:1 and 1:2 molar ratio, the concentrations of such ions are:

[Mg^{2+}]=\frac{3x10^{-4}molMg^{+2}}{(0.3+0.5)L} =3.75x10^{-4}M

[F^-]=\frac{2*3x10^{-4}molMg^{+2}}{(0.3+0.5)L} =7.5x10^{-4}M

Thereby, the reaction quotient is:

Q=(3.75x10^{-4})(7.5x10^{-4})^2=2.11x10^{-10}

In such a way, since Q<Ksp we say that the ions tend to be formed, so no precipitate is formed.

Regards.

Fe2O3 + CO --&gt; Fe + CO2
satela [25.4K]

Answer:

The answer to your question is

1.-Fe₂O₃

2.- 280 g

3.- 330 g

Explanation:

Data

mass of CO = 224 g

mass of Fe₂O₃ = 400 g

mass of Fe = ?

mass of CO₂

Balanced chemical reaction

                       Fe₂O₃   + 3CO    ⇒  2Fe  +   3CO₂

1.- Calculate the molar mass of Fe₂O₃ and CO

Fe₂O₃ = (56 x 2) + (16 x 3) = 160 g

CO = 12 + 16 = 28 g

2.- Calculate the proportions

theoretical proportion Fe₂O₃ /3CO = 160/84 = 1.90

experimental proportion Fe₂O₃ / CO = 400/224 = 1.78

As the experimental proportion is lower than the theoretical, we conclude that the Fe₂O₃ is the limiting reactant.

3.-     160 g of Fe₂O₃  --------------- 2(56) g of Fe

         400 g of Fe₂O₃ ---------------  x

         x = (400 x 112) / 160

        x = 280 g of Fe

4.-      160 g of Fe₂O₃  --------------- 3(44) g of CO₂

          400 g of Fe₂O₃  --------------  x

          x = (400 x 132)/160

         x = 330 gr

Identify each of these substances as acidic, basic, or neutral. pure water, pH = 7.0 lake water, pH = 6.5 baking soda solution,
Alex_Xolod [135]

Answer:

pure water, pH = 7.0 (Neutral)

lake water, pH = 6.5 (Acidic)

baking soda solution, pH = 9 (Alkaline)

soapy water, pH = 12 (Alkaline)

Explanation:

The degree of acidicity or alkalinity of a solution can be determined on a pH meter. A pH below 7 is acidic; a pH of 7 is neutral; a pH value of above 7 is alkaline.

Equilibrium is reached in chemical reactions when: A) The rates of the forward and reverse reactions become equal. B) The concen
kap26 [50]

Answer:

Correct option: A

Explanation:

Equilibrium means the state of reaction which there is no net changes occur it means the rate of forward reaction and rate of backward reaction become same and also it does not mean that the concentration of both side i.e. reactant and product become equal. after gaining equlibrium position the concentration of reactant and product remain same and also chemical reaction does not stop and it continues.
