Question

If a yellow paint is to have 0.511% pbcro4 by mass, how many grams of chromite are needed per kilogram of paint?

Answer 1

Yellow paint has 0.511 % PbCrO4 by mass

Mass of PbCrO4 in 1 kg of paint = (0.511 / 100) * 1 kg = 0.00511 kg = 5.11 g

Moles of PbCrO4 = 5.11 g/ 323.19 g/mol

                           = 0.0158 moles

Moles of K2CrO4 also = 0.0158 moles

Moles of FeCr2O4 = 0.0158 moles K2CrO4 * (4 mole FeCr2O4 / 8 moles K2CrO4)

                            = 0.0079 moles

Mass of FeCr2O4 (chromite) = 0.0079 moles * 223.83 g/mol

                                            = 1.77 g

Paint is a colored liquid, liquefiable, or solid mastic composition that transforms into a thin solid film after being applied to a substrate. Most commonly used for protection, coloring, or adding texture. Paints come in a variety of colors and can be made in a variety of ways.

Paint consists of pigments, solvents, resins, and various additives. Pigments give the paint its color. Solvents make application easier. The resin helps dry. Additives range from fillers to antifungal agents. There are hundreds of different natural and synthetic pigments.
