Answer: 3.162 kg


Explanation:


1) Mass percent = (mass of a part / total mass) × 100


2) 84% PbS by mass.


Percent PbS = ( mass of pure PbS / mass of the rock) × 100 = 84%


⇒ mass of the rock = mass of pure PbS × 100 / 84 =


⇒ mass of the rock = mass of pure PbS / 0.84 ← this is fhe formula that you will uise at the end.


2) Determine the mass of pure PbS that contains 2.3 kg of Pb


i) Unit formula: PbS


ii) molar mass of PbS: 207.2 g/mol + 32.065 g/mol = 239.265 g/mol


iii) proportion:


207.2 g of Pb / 239.265 g of PbS = 2,300 g of Pb / x


⇒ x = 2,300 × 239.265 g of PbS / 207.2 = 2,655.93 g of PbS = 2.656 Kg of PbS


4) Use the formula to determine how many kilograms of the rock contain 2.565 kg of pure PbS


mass of the rock = mass of pure PbS / 0.84 = 2.565 / 0.84 = 3.162 kg

Well take 2.3 kg and divide it by .84 to get 2.738 kg then divide the percent of S in the compounds by adding the atomic masses and dividing the atomic mass of S by the atomic mass of the molecule to get 13.40% S by mass
Then you know that Pb is 86.6% by mass so divide 2.738 by .866 to get your answer. Your answer is 3.162 kg of rock is needed

What phase of matter has enough kinetic energy to partially overcome the intermolecular attraction between the particles, allowi
cluponka [151]

The answer is; liquid phase

The characteristics described in the question are those of a liquid. The forces between liquid particles are weaker than the forces between solid particles because the particles are further apart. The particles are not held in a  fixed position in the structure hence it can flow and take the shape of the container in which it is in.

SIZIF [17.4K]

There are three carbon and 8 hydrogen present in propane molecule. The Lewis structure of propane is shown as:

Three molecules of such carbon atoms bound to eight molecules with hydrogen atoms make up the organic complex propane molecule.

It is known that carbon has 4 valence electrons and hydrogen has one valence electron. Carbon needs 4 extra electrons to complete its octet hence, it will share its electrons with with 4 hydrogen atom and complete its octet.

Carbon will be formed 4 bond . Three bond with hydrogen and one bond with carbon atom.
