The percent by mass of gold in the mixture will be 34.5%.

How to calculate the percentage?

The following information can be deduced based on the information given:

Density of gold = 19.3 g/cm³.

Density of sand = 2.94 g/cm³

Density of mixture = 4.17 g/cm³

It should be noted that when we find the volume fo gold on a 1cm³ sample, then we can be able to find that mass. The volume of gold will be calculated thus:

4.17 = [(19.3x + 2.95(1 - x)]

4.17 = 19.3x + 2.95 - 2.95x

4.17 = 16.35x + 2.95

x = 0.0746cm³

The mass of gold will be:

= 0.0746 × 19.3

= 1.44

The percent by mass of gold in the mixture will be:

= 1.44/4.17 × 100

= 34.5%

In conclusion, the percent by mass of gold in the mixture will be 34.5%.

What is Mass?

Mass is a physical body's total amount of matter. It also serves as a gauge for the body's inertia, or resistance to acceleration (change in velocity) in the presence of a net force. The strength of an object's gravitational pull to other bodies is also influenced by its mass.

The kilogram is the primary mass unit in the SI (kg). Even though weight is frequently measured using a spring scale rather than a balancing scale and directly compared with known masses, mass is not the same as weight in physics. Due to the lower gravity on the Moon, an object would weigh less than it does on Earth while maintaining the same mass. Given that weight is a force.

What mass of CaSO3 must have been present initially to produce 14.5 L of SO2 gas at a temperature of 12.5°C and a pressure of 1.
german
When the reaction equation is:

CaSO3(s) → CaO(s) + SO2(g)

we can see that the molar ratio between CaSO3 & SO2 is 1:1 so, we need to find first the moles SO2.

to get the moles of SO2 we are going to use the ideal gas equation:

PV = nRT

when P is the pressure =  1.1 atm

and V is the volume = 14.5 L 

n is the moles' number (which we need to calculate)

R ideal gas constant = 0.0821

and T is the temperature in Kelvin = 12.5 + 273 = 285.5 K

so, by substitution:

1.1 * 14.5 L = n * 0.0821 * 285.5

∴ n = 1.1 * 14.5 / (0.0821*285.5)

       = 0.68 moles SO2

∴ moles CaSO3 = 0.68 moles

so we can easily get the mass of CaSO3:

when mass = moles * molar mass

and we know that the molar mass of CaSO3= 40 + 32 + 16 * 3 = 120 g/mol


∴ mass = 0.68 moles* 120 g/mol = 81.6 g

A 32.5 g iron rod, initially at 22.4 ∘C, is submerged into an unknown mass of water at 63.0 ∘C, in an insulated container. The f
Allisa [31]

Answer:

The mass of water m_{w} = 39.18 gm

Explanation:

Mass of iron m_{iron} = 32.5 gm

Initial temperature of iron T_{1} = 22.4°c = 295.4 K

Specific heat of iron  C_{iron} = 0.448 \frac{KJ}{kg K}

Mass of water = m_{w}

Specific heat of water  C_{w} = 4.2 \frac{KJ}{kg  K}

Initial temperature of water T_{2} = 336 K  

Final temperature after equilibrium T_{f} = 59.7°c = 332.7 K

When iron rod is submerged into water then

Heat lost by water  = Heat gain by iron rod

m_{w} C_{w} (T_{2} - T_{f} ) =  m_{iron} C_{iron} ( T_{f} - T_{1} )

Put all the values in above formula we get

m_{w} × 4.2 × ( 336 - 332.7 ) = 32.5 × 0.448 × ( 332.7 - 295.4 )

m_{w} = 39.18 gm

Therefore the mass of water m_{w} = 39.18 gm

In your own words, what do you think an atom is?
Lelu [443]

Answer:

An atom is a particle of matter that uniquely defines achemical element. An atom consists of a central nucleus that is usually surrounded by one or more electrons. Each electron is negatively charged. The nucleus is positively charged, and contains one or more relatively heavy particles known as protons and neutrons.

Suppose of copper(II) acetate is dissolved in of a aqueous solution of sodium chromate. Calculate the final molarity of acetate
uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

0.0714 M for the given variables

Explanation:

The question is missing some data, but one of the original questions regarding this problem provides the following data:

Mass of copper(II) acetate: m_{(AcO)_2Cu} = 0.972 g

Volume of the sodium chromate solution: V_{Na_2CrO_4} = 150.0 mL

Molarity of the sodium chromate solution: c_{Na_2CrO_4} = 0.0400 M

Now, when copper(II) acetate reacts with sodium chromate, an insoluble copper(II) chromate is formed:

(CH_3COO)_2Cu (aq) + Na_2CrO_4 (aq)\rightarrow 2 CH_3COONa (aq) + CuCrO_4 (s)

Find moles of each reactant. or copper(II) acetate, divide its mass by the molar mass:

n_{(AcO)_2Cu} = \frac{0.972 g}{181.63 g/mol} = 0.0053515 mol

Moles of the sodium chromate solution would be found by multiplying its volume by molarity:

n_{Na_2CrO_4} = 0.0400 M\cdot 0.1500 L = 0.00600 mol

Find the limiting reactant. Notice that stoichiometry of this reaction is 1 : 1, so we can compare moles directly. Moles of copper(II) acetate are lower than moles of sodium chromate, so copper(II) acetate is our limiting reactant.

Write the net ionic equation for this reaction:

Cu^{2+} (aq) + CrO_4^{2-} (aq)\rightarrow CuCrO_4 (s)

Notice that acetate is the ion spectator. This means it doesn't react, its moles throughout reaction stay the same. We started with:

n_{(AcO)_2Cu} = 0.0053515 mol

According to stoichiometry, 1 unit of copper(II) acetate has 2 units of acetate, so moles of acetate are equal to:

n_{AcO^-} = 2\cdot 0.0053515 mol = 0.010703 mol

The total volume of this solution doesn't change, so dividing moles of acetate by this volume will yield the molarity of acetate:

c_{AcO^-} = \frac{0.010703 mol}{0.1500 L} = 0.0714 M
