Answer:

Explanation:

Ok so Proust's Law, better known as the Law of Definite Proportions, states that the components of a compound always exist in a fixed ratio. This means that it does not matter what the source of the components are nor the coefficients in front of them. The ratio your teacher is referring to is most likely mass percent/ percent composition. This ratio is the amount of the component over the amount of the entire compound times 100%.

*I am not very familiar with this law so please do with my answers what you will :)*

7.)

First, you want to find the percent composition (aka mass composition) of Na in NaCl.

 45.89 g Na
---------------------  x 100%  =  39.3%
116.89 g NaCl

So, there must be 39.3% sodium in NaCl. You can find how much chlorine is in NaCl by subtracting that percent by 100 (to find the percent composition of chlorine) then multiplying it by the mass.

100% - 39.3% = 60.7%

60.7% / 100 = 0.0607

116.89 g NaCl x 0.0607 = 70.91 g Cl₂

You could also just subtract the mass of sodium from the mass of sodium chloride to find the mass of chlorine.

116.89 g NaCl - 45.89 g Na = 71 g Cl₂

8.)

10.57 g Mg + 6.96 g O₂ = 17.53 g MgO

  6.96 g O₂
---------------------  x 100%  = 39.7% O₂
17.53 g MgO

9.)

6.46 g Pb = 1 g O₂

68.54 g Pb  =  28.76 g O₂

68.54 g Pb / 28.76 g O₂ = 2.83 g ≠ 6.46 g

No, the two samples are not the same because the proportion of lead to oxygen is not the same for both samples. In the first sample, there is 6.46 g lead for every oxygen. In the second sample, there is 2.38 g lead for every oxygen.

What can be said about the spontaneity of this reaction? cdiamond→cgraphite
anastassius [24]
The gibbs free energy of the reaction of diamond to graphite is equal to -2.90 kJ/mol. The free energy is negative which means that the reaction is spontaneous. Therefore, the forward reaction is favored. Hope this helps. Have a nice day.

When performing a gram stain, it is necessary to remove crystal violet stain from any gram negative bacteria on the slide. Micro
Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

10.11 mL

Explanation:

Given that :

Total volume of decolorizer = 500 mL

A common recipe is equal parts 95% ethanol and acetone.

So;

The volume of 95% ethanol in the decolorizer = 500mL/2 = 250 mL

Let represent V(ml) for the 99% of ethanol needed to make 95% of the 250 mL of ethanol;

Therefore:

V(ml) × 0.99 = 250 × 0.95

V(ml) × 0.99 = 237.5

V(ml)  = 237.5/0.99

V(ml) = 239.89 mL

Hence; the amount of water to be added to 95% of ethanol = ( 250 -  239.89 )mL = 10.11 mL
