Answer:

The answer is

The percentage by mass of Aluminium is 62.479% Al

The percentage by mass of Magnesium is 37.52% Mg

Explanation:

The solution to this can be found by listing out the known variables

mass of alloy = 9.87 grams

Mass of hydrogen gas produced = 0.998 grams

Molar mass of Al  = 26.98 g/mol

Molar mass of Mg = 24.3 g/mol

Molar mass of H₂(g) = 2.016 g/mol

The reaction between aluminium, magnesium and HCl aare as follows

2Al(s) + 6HCl(aq) → 2AlCl₃(aq) + 3H₂(g)

Mg(s) + 2HCl(aq) → MgCl₂(aq) + H₂(g)

From the quation for the reactions, it is seen that 2 moles of Al produces 3 moles of H₂(g) thus if the mass of aluminium in the alloy is say x we have

2×x/26.98 moles  of Aluminium produces  3×x/26.98 moles of H₂

or one mole produces 0.0555967x moles H₂ (g)

Also 1 mole of magnesium produces 1 mole of H₂(g)

hence since the mass of magnesium in the sample is (9.87 - x) grams, we have

(9.87-x)/24.3 moles of Mg produces (9.87 - x)/24.3 moles of H₂(g)

However the number of moles of H₂ actually produced = 0.998/2.016 = 0.495 moles H₂

Therefore 0.0555967x moles + (9.87 - x)/24.3 moles = 0.495 moles

or 0.0555967x + 0.4062 - 0.04115x = 0.495

0.0144x = 0.0888 , Terefore x = 6.16 grams

and the percentage by mass of Al in the alloy is

6.16/9.87 × 100 = 62.479% Al and

(100 - 62.47) or 37.52% Mg

The percentage by mass of Aluminium is 62.479% Al

The percentage by mass of Magnesium is 37.52% Mg

What is the pH of a substance that has a hydrogen ion concentration of<br> 8.8x10^(-5) M? *
stealth61 [152]

Answer:

The pH of the substance is 4,06.

Explanation:

The pH indicates the acidity or basicity of a substance. PH values between 0 and less than 7 indicate acidic solutions, 7 neutral and greater than 7 to 14 basic. It is calculated as:

pH = -log (H +)

pH= -log (8.8x10^-5)

<em>pH=4,06</em>
