What are two things that you observed when you heated the mixture of tin and nitric acid over the Bunsen burner in the virtual l

1. The reaction for this would be:

Sn + 4 HNO₃ →  SnO₂ + 4 NO₂ + 2 H₂O

The first observation would be bubbling of the solution and brown acrid smoke is produced due to the presence of NO₂ gas. Another observation would be the presence of a white solid which is SnO₂.

2. Heating was required to get rid of the H₂O. When all moisture is gone, you weigh the sample. Afterwhich, you further heat it to get ride of the oxygen. By doing this, you would know the individual mass of each element. Then, you can solve for the empirical formula of the oxide of tin.

What is the mass of a sample of pure gold containing 3.00 x 1024 gold atoms?
miss Akunina [59]

Answer: The mass is 980.6g of Gold.

Explanation:

We begin by looking for the number of moles equivalent to 3.0 x 10^24 gold atoms.

Using the Avogadro's number,

6.02 x 10^23 atoms of gold make up 1 mole of gold.

3.0 x 10^24 atoms would make up: 1 / 6.02 x 10^23 x 3.0 x 10^24 = 4.98moles.

Now that we know the number of moles, we can then look for the mass using the formular:

Moles = mass/ molar mass

4.98 = mass / 196.9 (atomic mass of gold)

Making "mass" the subject of formula : mass = 4.98 x 196.9= 980.6g

A. element with the highest electronegativity.
Bess [88]

Answer:

Fluorine

Explanation:

Fluorine is assigned the oxidation number of -1 because it attracts the electrons in the bond more strongly than carbon does. Fluorine appears to have an extra electron, -1 oxidation number.

Fluorine is the most electronegative element on the periodic table.

Calculate either [ H 3 O + ] or [ OH − ] for each of the solutions.
STALIN [3.7K]

Answer: Solution A : [H_3O^+]=0.300\times 10^{-7}M

Solution B : [OH^-]=0.107\times 10^{-5}M

Solution C : [OH^-]=0.177\times 10^{-10}M

Explanation:

pH or pOH is the measure of acidity or alkalinity of a solution.

pH is calculated by taking negative logarithm of hydrogen ion concentration and pOH is calculated by taking negative logarithm of hydroxide ion concentration.

pH=-\log[H_3O^+]

pOH=-log[OH^-}

pH+pOH=14

[H_3O^+][OH^-]=10^{-14}

a. Solution A: [OH^-]=3.33\times 10^{-7}M

[H_3O^+]=\frac{10^{-14}}{3.33\times 10^{-7}}=0.300\times 10^{-7}M

b. Solution B : [H_3O^+]=9.33\times 10^{-9}M

[OH^-]=\frac{10^{-14}}{9.33\times 10^{-9}}=0.107\times 10^{-5}M

c. Solution C : [H_3O^+]=5.65\times 10^{-4}M

[OH^-]=\frac{10^{-14}}{5.65\times 10^{-4}}=0.177\times 10^{-10}M
