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%.

Which of the following gas samples would contain the same amount of gas as 200 mL of helium, He(g), at 25° C and 1 atm?

monitta

Answer:

$200\; \rm mL$ of neon $\rm Ne\, (g)$ at $25^{\circ} \rm C$ and $1\; \rm atm$ (the second choice) would contain an equal number of gas particles as $200\; \rm mL\!$ of $\rm He \, (g)$ at $25^{\circ} \rm C\!$ and $1\; \rm atm\!$ (assuming that all four gas samples behave like ideal gases.)

Explanation:

By Avogadro's Law, if the temperature and pressure of two ideal gases is the same, the number of gas particles in each gas would be proportional to the volume of that gas.

All four gas samples in this question share the same temperature and pressure. Hence, if all these gases are ideal gases, the number of gas particles in each sample would be proportional to the volume of that sample. Two of these samples would contain the same number of gas particles if and only if the volume of the two samples is equal to one another.

The second choice, $200\; \rm mL$ of neon $\rm Ne\, (g)$ at $25^{\circ} \rm C$ and $1\; \rm atm$ , is the only choice where the volume of the sample is also $200\; \rm mL \!$ . Hence, that choice would be the only one with as many gas particles as $200\; \rm mL\!$ of $\rm He \, (g)$ at $25^{\circ} \rm C\!$ and $1\; \rm atm\!$ .

Where did they start water conservation in tamil nadu . short answer

OleMash [197]

Explanation:

The 2019 water crisis in Chennai has made us realize the importance of saving water more than ever. Water, as we all know, is a finite resource without which our planet would be a barren wasteland. Today with our increasing population it would be logical to say that our water consumption has also increased. And with increasing demand and lesser supply, water scarcity arises. Our ancestors who had foreseen the potential dangers of water scarcity had developed methods to conserve water that was suited for the varied terrain of the Tamil-speaking kingdoms.

Traditional Rainwater Conservation methods of Tamil Nadu

Eri

There are no perennial rivers in Tamil Nadu except the Thamirabharani River which flows through Thirunelveli district. And so, several hundred years ago a simple system was devised to utilize the rainwater to the fullest. An Eri or tank system is one of the oldest forms of water conservation systems in India. Many Eris are still in use in Tamil Nadu and play an active role in irrigation. They act as water reservoirs and flood control systems. They prevent soil erosion, recharge groundwater, and prevent wastage of runoff water during heavy rainfall.

Kudimaramathu

Kudimaramathu is one of the old traditional practice of stakeholders participating in the maintenance and management of irrigation systems. During earlier days, citizens of a village used to actively participate in maintaining the water bodies of their village by deepening and widening the lakes and ponds and restoring the water bodies back to their original form. The silt, rich in nutrients, collected in the process would be used by the farmers themselves in their field. A sense of collective ownership ensured the continued survival of the water bodies.

What is one way scientists can split a substance into its simpler components

notsponge [240]

Answer: By using electrolysis.

Explanation:

Electrolysis is a chemical change produced by sending an electric current through a compound. Electrolysis works because the hydrogen and oxygen ions are held together by an electric attraction.
