Which type of radiation involves the conversion of a neutron into a proton?

Chalcopyrite is an ore with the composition cufes2. what is the percentage of iron in a 39.6 g sample of this ore? answer in uni

iren2701 [21]

<span>Well it depends on percentage by what, but I'll just assume that it's percentage by mass. For this, we look at the atomic masses of the elements present in the compound. Cu has an atomic mass of 63.546 amu Fe has 55.845 amu and S has 36.065 amu Since there are 2 molecules of Sulfur for each one of Cu and Fe, we'll multiply the Sulfur atomic weight by 2 to obtain 72.13 amu So we have not established the mass of the compound in amus 63.546 + 55.845 + 72.13 = 191.521 That is the atomic mass of Chalcopyrite. and Iron's atomic mass is 55.845 So to get the percentage, or fraction of iron, we take 55.845 / 191.521 Which comes out to 29.15% by mass Mass of the sample is not needed for this calculation, but since the question mentions it I would go ahead and check if the question isn't also asking for the mass of Iron in the sample as well, in which case you just find the 29.15% of 67.7g</span>

How do you write chemical formulas

sasho [114]

There are things called "Reactants" and "Products" All chemical equations look something like "A + B →C (+ D...)," in which each letter variable is an element or a molecule (a collection of atoms held together by chemical bonds). The arrow represents the reaction or change taking place. Some equations may have a double-headed arrow (↔), which indicates that the reaction can proceed either forward or backward. When a compound has been written out, you must identify the elements and know their chemical symbols. The first element written is “first name” of the compound. Use the periodic table to find the chemical symbol for the element. So here is an example: Dinitrogen hexafluoride. The first element is nitrogen and the chemical symbol for nitrogen is N. To know the numbers of atoms that are present for each element you can just look at the prefix from the element For example: Dinitrogen has a the prefix “di-“ which means 2; therefore, there are 2 atoms of nitrogen present.

Write dinitrogen as N2.

Now for the second element or "last name" of the compound whatever will follow the first element so like; Dinitrogen hexafluoride. The second element is fluorine. Simply replace the “ide” ending with the actual element name. The chemical symbol for fluorine is F.

But the more you practice with, the easier it will be to decipher chemical formulas in the future and learn the language of chemistry.

Sulfur dioxide: SO2

Carbon tetrabromide: CBr4

Diphosphorus pentoxide: P2O5 ← That is one of the examples I'll give you.

have a gooooood daaaaayy

DUE TOMORROW!!! 15 POINTS

Lunna [17]

Answer:

A. write balanced chemical equation (including states), for this process.

Explanation:

Almost all hydrocarbon 'burn' reactions involve oxygen; it's by far the most reactive substance in air.

Hydrocarbon combustions always involve

[some hydrocarbon] + oxygen --> carbon dioxide + steam.

C6H6(l) + O2 (g)--> CO2 (g)+ H2O (g)

Balance carbon, six on each side:

C6H6(l) + O2 (g)--> 6CO2 (g)+ H2O (g)

Balance hydrogen, six on each side:

C6H6(l) + O2 (g)--> 6CO2(g) + 3H2O (g)

Now, we have fifteen oxygens on the right and O2 on the left.

Two ways to deal with that. We can use a fraction:

C6H6 (l)+ (15/2)O2 (g)--> 6CO2 (g)+ 3H2O (g)

Or, if you prefer to have whole number coefficients, double everything

to get rid of the fraction:

2C6H6 (l)+ 15O2 (g)--> 12CO2 (g)+ 6H2O (g)

With the SATP states thrown in...

C6H6(l) + (15/2)O2(g) --> 6CO2(g) + 3H2O(g)

What is an Atomic structure ?

Margaret [11]

Answer: The structure of an atom, theoretically consisting of a positively charged nucleus surrounded and neutralized by negatively charged electrons revolving in orbits at varying distances from the nucleus, the constitution of the nucleus and the arrangement of the electrons differing with various chemical elements.

:) I hope this helped! :)
