Gunpowder is a heterogenous mixture,

Reason : the composiotion of the mixture is not uniform throughout, the mixture can be separated by a suitable method , and finally , it composes of charcoal, sulfur and potassium nitrate which is not homogeneous mixture.

A container holds 6.4 moles of gas. Hydrogen gas makes up 25% of the total moles in the container. If the total pressure is 1.24

Degger [83]

The partial pressure of hydrogen is 0.31 atm

calculation

find the number of hydrogen moles the container, that is

25/100 x 6.4 =1.6 moles of hydrogen

find the partial pressure for hydrogen in 1.6 moles

that is 6.4 moles= 1.24 atm
1.6 moles= ?

by cross multiplication

1.6moles x1.24 atm/ 6.4 moles= 0.31 atm

Describe the three states of matter in terms of shape and volume

abruzzese [7]

Shape
A gas is shapeless all other things being equal. It will, if put in a container, occupy every part of the container.

A liquid could also be thought of shapeless. If put in a container, it need not occupy the entire container. It will occupy as much as its calculated volume will permit it to occupy.

A solid will only occupy its original shape.

Volume
A gas will occupy whatever container it is put in within limits. You cannot put a 72 mols of gas in a mm^3 container without some amazing ability to apply a lot of pressure.

A liquid will occupy a volume determined by its density and mass. In general liquids cannot be compressed.

Whatever volume a solid has to start with, it will retain that volume all other things being equal.

This is actually very hard to describe.

How many grams of silver chromate will precipitate when 150. mL of 0.500 M silver nitrate are added to 100. mL of 0.400 M potass

sergiy2304 [10]

The amount of silver chromate that precipitates after addition of solutions is 12.44 g.

Number of moles:

The number of moles is the product of molarity of the solution and its volume. The formula is expressed as:

Moles = Molarity x Volume

Calculations:

Step 1:

The molecular formula of silver nitrate is AgNO3. The number of moles of silver nitrate is calculated as:

Moles of AgNO3 = 0.500 M x (150/1000) L

= 0.075 mol

Step 2:

The molecular formula potassium chromate is K2CrO4. The number of moles of potassium chromate is calculated as:

Moles of K2CrO4 = 0.400 M x (100/1000) L

= 0.04 mol

Step 3:

The balanced chemical reaction between AgNO3 and K2CrO4 is:

2AgNO3 + K2CrO4 -----> Ag2CrO4 + 2KNO3

The required number of moles of K2CrO4 = 0.075 mol/2 = 0.0375 mol

The given number of moles of K2CrO4 (0.04 mol) is more than the required number of moles (0.0375 mol). Therefore, AgNO3 is the limiting reagent.

Step 4:

According to the reaction, the molar ratio between AgNO3 and Ag2CrO4 is 2:1. Hence, the number of moles of Ag2CrO4 formed is 0.0375 mol.

The molar mass of Ag2CrO4 is 331.74 g/mol.

The mass of Ag2CrO4 is calculated as:

Mass = 0.0375 mol x 331.74 g/mol

= 12.44 g

If the conjugate base of a molecule has a pkb of 1.4, what would you expect the molecule to be?

maw [93]

If the conjugate base of a molecule has a pKb of 1.4, the molecule should be a Weak Acid.

Notice this question gives us the pKb of the molecule, not the pKa. Because of this, the pH scale basically gets reversed, so lower numbers in pKb correlate with stronger bases, and higher numbers in pKb correlate with stronger acids - the exact opposite of the pH scale.

It's important to make sure you completely understand the terms of conjugate base, conjugate acid, pKb, pKa, and how they all relate. It's easy to mix up the meanings of these definitions.

Here are the two other pieces of information you need to know to correctly answer this question:

Strong acids have a weak conjugate base.
Strong bases have a weak conjugate acid.

So if the problem says you have a strong conjugate base, then the molecule must be a weak acid. To illustrate this, think of ammonium, NH4+. Ammonium is a weak acid, but the conjugate base of ammonium is ammonia, NH3, which is a reasonably good base.

If an ideal gas has a pressure of 4.03 atm,

kkurt [141]

Answer:

PV=nRT where P=pressure in atm, V=volume is liters, n=numbber of moles, R=gas constant, 0.08206 L-atm/mole KL, and T=temperature in K (273 + C). So (5.67atm)(99.39L)=n(0.08206 L-atm/mol.K)(328.94K), solve for n, the number of moles, n=20.9 moles.
