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.

Use the standard reaction enthalpies given below to determine ΔH°rxn for the following reaction:P4(g) + 10 Cl2(g) → 4PCl5(s) ΔH°
miskamm [114]

<u>Answer:</u> The \Delta H^o_{rxn} for the reaction is -1835 kJ.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Hess’s law of constant heat summation states that the amount of heat absorbed or evolved in a given chemical equation remains the same whether the process occurs in one step or several steps.

According to this law, the chemical equation is treated as ordinary algebraic expressions and can be added or subtracted to yield the required equation. This means that the enthalpy change of the overall reaction is equal to the sum of the enthalpy changes of the intermediate reactions.

The given chemical reaction follows:

P_4(g)+10Cl_2(g)\rightarrow 4PCl_5(s)      \Delta H^o_{rxn}=?

The intermediate balanced chemical reaction are:

(1) PCl_5(s)\rightarrow PCl_3(g)+Cl_2(g)    \Delta H_1=157kJ   ( × 4)

(2) P_4(g)+6Cl_2(g)\rightarrow 4PCl_3(g)     \Delta H_2=-1207kJ

The expression for enthalpy of the reaction follows:

\Delta H^o_{rxn}=[4\times (-\Delta H_1)]+[1\times \Delta H_2]

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\Delta H^o_{rxn}=[(4\times (-157))+(1\times (-1207))=-1835kJ

Hence, the \Delta H^o_{rxn} for the reaction is -1835 kJ.

Determine the volume of a 0.800 M K2Cr2O7 solution required to completely react with 4.24 g of Cu.
Pachacha [2.7K]

<u>Answer:</u> The volume of solution required is 0.0275 L.

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}

Given mass of copper = 4.24 g

Molar mass of copper = 63.55 g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\text{Moles of copper}=\frac{4.24g}{63.55g/mol}=0.067mol

The chemical equation for the reaction of potassium dichromate and copper follows:

K_2Cr_2O_7+3Cu+7H_2SO_4\rightarrow 3CuSO_4+Cr_2(SO_4)_3+K_2SO_4+7H_2O

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

3 moles of copper reacts with 1 mole of potassium dichromate.

So, 0.067 moles of copper will react with = \frac{1}{3}\times 0.067=0.022mol of potassium dichromate

To calculate the volume of potassium dichromate, we use the equation:

\text{Molarity of the solution}=\frac{\text{Moles of solute}}{\text{Volume of solution (in L)}}

We are given:

Moles of potassium dichromate = 0.022 mol

Molarity of solution = 0.800 M

Putting values in above equation, we get:

0.08mol/L=\frac{0.022mol}{\text{Volume of solution}}\\\\\text{Volume of solution}=0.0275L

Hence, the volume of solution required is 0.0275 L.
