4. A 0.51 kg solution contains 87 mg of potassium iodide. Calculate the W/W concentration

1 answer:

3 0

Taking into account the definition of percentage composition, the percent composition of potassium iodide in this sample is 0.017%.

<h3>Definition of percent composition </h3>

The Percentage Composition is a measure of the amount of mass that an element occupies in a compound and indicates the percentage by mass of each element that is part of a compound.

To calculate the percentage of composition, it is necessary to know the mass of the element in a known mass of the compound.

<h3>Percentage Composition in this case</h3>

In this case, you know that a 0.51 kg (or 510000 mg, being 1 kg= 1000000 mg) solution contains 87 mg of potassium iodide.

Dividing the mass amount of potassium iodide present in the compound by the mass of the sample and multiplying it by 100 to obtain a percentage value, the percentage composition of potassium iodide is obtained:

$percentage composition of potassium iodide=\frac{87 mg}{510000 mg} x100$

<u><em>percentage composition of potassium iodide= 0.017%</em></u>

Finally, the percent composition of potassium iodide in this sample is 0.017%.

How to identify coplanar molecule?

lozanna [386]

See if the carbon atoms are SP2 or Sp they the coplanirty is more and if its Sp3 hybridization it cant be in coplanar as Sp3 is having Td shape where as sp2 and sp are not :)

What is the chemical structure of coal?<br>What is the molecular weight of coal?

nydimaria [60]

1) As for its chemical composition, coal is a mixture of high-molecular-weight polycyclic aromatic compounds, such as benzene C6H6, toluene C6H5CH3, xylene C6H4(CH3)2, naphthalene C10H8, anthracene C14H10, pyrene C16H10 and their derivatives with high mass fraction of carbon, as well as of water and volatile substances.

2) The coal asphaltenes have a relatively narrow MWD (full width ≈ 150 amu) with an average molecular weight of ≈340 amu. The petroleum asphaltenes display a broader MWD (full width ≈ 300 amu) and are heavier on average (≈680 amu).
