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.

5. Write a net ionic equation that occurs in a Na2HPO4/NaH2PO4 buffer solution when: A) a small amount of HCl is added (2 points
labwork [276]

Answer: (A) H_{3}O^{+}(aq) + HPO^{2-}_{4}(aq) \rightarrow H_{2}PO^{2-}_{4}(aq) + H_{2}O(l)

(B) H_{2}PO^{-}_{4}(aq) + OH^{-}(aq) \rightarrow HPO^{2-}_{4}(aq) + H_{2}O(l)

Explanation:

(A) As we know that HCl is a strong acid and when it is added to an aqueous solution then it leads to increase in the concentration of hydrogen ions. And, when an acid or base is added to a solution then any resistance by the solution in changing the pH of the solution is known as a buffer.

This means that addition of buffer into the given solution will not cause much change in the concentration of H_{3}O^{+} in large amount.

As both the buffer components are salt then they will remain dissociated as follows.

       Na_{2}HPO_{4}(aq) \rightarrow 2Na^{+}(aq) + HPO^{2-}_{4}(aq)

 NaH_{2}PO_{4}(aq) \rightarrow Na^{+}(aq) + H_{2}PO^{-}_{4}(aq)

Hence, net ionic equation will be as follows.

       H_{3}O^{+}(aq) + HPO^{2-}_{4}(aq) \rightarrow H_{2}PO^{2-}_{4}(aq) + H_{2}O(l)

(B)  When we add small amount of sodium hydroxide into the solution then there will occur an increase in concentration of hydroxide ions into the solution. But then due to the presence of buffer there will occur not much change in concentration and the acid will get converted into salt.

     NaOH(aq) \rightarrow Na^{+}(aq) + OH^{-}(aq)

The net ionic equation is as follows.

        H_{2}PO^{-}_{4}(aq) + OH^{-}(aq) \rightarrow HPO^{2-}_{4}(aq) + H_{2}O(l)

A sample of aluminum, which has a specific heat capacity of 0.897·J·g−1°C^−1 , is put into a calorimeter (see sketch at right) t
Tcecarenko [31]

Answer: The mass of aluminium sample is 55.4 gram

Explanation:

Q_{absorbed}=Q_{released}

As we know that,  

Q=m\times c\times \Delta T=m\times c\times (T_{final}-T_{initial})

m_1\times c\times (T_{final}-T_1)=-[m_2\times c\times (T_{final}-T_2)]      

where,

m_1 = mass of aluminium = ?

m_2 = mass of water = 300.0 g

T_{final} = final temperature = 23.8^0C

T_1 = temperature of aluminium = 94.5^oC

T_2 = temperature of water = 21.0^oC

c_1 = specific heat of aluminium = 0.897J/g^0C

c_2 = specific heat of water =  4.184J/g^0C

Now put all the given values in equation (1), we get

-[m_1\times c_1\times (T_{final}-T_1)]=[m_2\times c_2\times (T_{final}-T_2)]

-[m_1\times 0.897\times (23.8-94.5)^0C]=[300.0g\times 4.184\times (23.8-21.0)]

m_1=55.4g

Therefore, the mass of aluminium sample is 55.4 gram

garik1379 [7]

Explanation:

1.

Given parameters:

Frequency of the radiation  = 8.4 x 10¹⁴Hz

Unknown:

Energy of the wave  = ?

Solution:

The energy of a wave is given by the expression below;

    E  = hf

E is the energy

h is the Planck's constant = 6.63 x 10⁻³⁴m²kg/s

f is the frequency

 Now insert the parameters and solve;

 E  =  6.63 x 10⁻³⁴m²kg/s x 8.4 x 10¹⁴Hz

 E  = 5.57 x 10¹ x 10⁻²⁰J

 E  = 5.57 x 10⁻¹⁹J

   

2.

Given parameters:

Wavelength = 2.13 x 10⁻¹³m

Unknown:

Frequency of the wave = ?

Solution:

The frequency of a wave can be determined using the expression;

     C  = f∧

C is the speed of light = 3 x 10⁸m/s

f  is the frequency

∧ is the wavelength

      f  = \frac{C}{wavelength}   = \frac{3  x 10^{8} }{2.13 x 10^{-13} }   = 1.41 x 10²¹hz

Suppose that the carbon atom pictured here as a reactant had already formed a double bond with another carbon atom. How many hyd
cricket20 [7]

Answer:Two more hydrogen atoms will be required

Explanation:

A carbon atom has 4 valence electrons in its outermost shell,thus it can form 4 covalent bonds.Two pairs of electrons are shared in a double bond between C-C atom.two more electrons are left which is shared with two hydrogen atoms.

What do colligative properties depend on?
oee [108]
Colligative properties depend on the amount of solute dissolved in a solvent. These set of properties do not depend on the type of species present. These properties include freezing point depression, boiling point elevation, osmotic pressure and vapor pressure lowering.
