Answer:

Explanation:

Diffusion is the movement of molecule from a place of high concentration to a place of low concentration through a semi-permeable membrane.

Osmosis is the movement of molecules from a place of high water concentration to a place of low water concentration through a semi-permeable membrane

A sample of pure lithium chloride contains 16% lithium by mass. What is the % lithium by mass in a sample of pure lithium carbon

Anna35 [415]

Answer:

Percentage lithium by mass in Lithium carbonate sample = 19.0%

Explanation:

Atomic mass of lithium = 7.0 g; atomic mass of Chlorine = 35.5 g; atomic mass of carbon = 12.0 g; atomic mass of oxygen = 16.0 g

Molar mass of lithium chloride, LiCl = 7 + 35.5 = 42.5 g

Percentage by mass of lithium in LiCl = (7/42.5) * 100% = 16.4 % aproximately 16%

Molar mass of lithium carbonate, Li₂CO₃ = 7 * 2 + 12 + 16 * 3 =74.0 g

Percentage by mass of lithium in Li₂CO₃ = (14/74) * 100% = 18.9 % approximately 19%

Mass of Lithium carbonate sample = 2 * 42.5 = 85.0 g

mass of lithium in 85.0 g Li₂CO₃ = 19% * 85.0 g = 16.15 g

Percentage by mass of lithium in 85.0 g Li₂CO₃ = (16.15/85.0) * 100 % = 19.0%

Percentage lithium by mass in Lithium carbonate sample = 19.0%

I don’t understand this question

zhannawk [14.2K]

Since they both have the same momentum, the object with the larger mass has a small velocity. (Remember that mass and velocity are inversely proportional with
p=mv.) Therefore, the smaller object will have the larger KE. (KE = 1/2 ^2)
