Answer:-  0.88

Solution:- Masses of silver and copper metals are given and we are asked to calculate the percentage of silver in the alloy.

mass percent of Ag = (\frac{mass of Ag}{mass of alloy})*100

Mass of Ag = 17.6 g

mass of Cu = 2.40 g

mass of alloy = 17.6 g + 2.40 g = 20.0 g

Let's plug in the values in the formula:

mass percentage of Ag = (\frac{17.6}{20.0})*100

mass percentage of Ag = 88%

So, the mass percentage of silver in sterling silver is 88% and in decimal form it is 0.88.

antoniya [11.8K]

Answer:

A

Explanation:

since Mg has a charge of +2 and ClO3 has a charge of 1-, you need 2 ClO3 to cancel out the +2 since 2 ClO3 ions would have a 2- charge

Given the problem below, what would the first step be in solving it?
Hoochie [10]

Answer:

First step would be convert to moles

Final Answer: 37.8 g of NaCl

Explanation:

The reaction is:

2Na + Cl₂ → 2NaCI

We convert the mass of each reactant to moles:

18 g . 1mol /23g = 0.783 moles of Na

23g . 1mol / 70.9g = 0.324 moles of chlorine

We use the mole ratio to determine the limiting reactant:

Ratio is 2:1. 2 moles of Na react to 1 mol of chlorine

Then, 0.783 moles of Na, may react to (0.783 . 1)/2 = 0.391 moles.

Excellent!. We need 0.391 moles of Cl₂ and we only have 0.324 moles available. That's why the Cl₂ is our limiting reactant.

We use the mole ratio again, with the product side. (1:2)

1 mol of Cl₂ can produce 2 moles of NaCl

Then, our 0.324 moles of gas, may produce (0.324 . 2)/1 = 0.648 moles

Finally, we convert the moles to grams:

0.648 mol . 58.45g/mol =

Consider the following set of ions: Al3+; Li+, Rb+, [(C4H9)4N+].
krok68 [10]

Hey there!:

a) Cations which are lowest size generally forms adopts more number of water molecules around it. Such kind of Cations forms largest hydrated ions. Among given cations, Li+ is smallest one and (C4H9)4N+ is largest one. So, Li+ ion forms largest hydrated ion.

b) Organic ligands or alkyl chains contained Cations are hydrophobic in nature due to its low polar nature. Among given (C₄H₉)4N⁺ cation is hydrophobic in nature.

c) Size of cation inversely proportional to the hydrated sphere or number of water molecules attached. So, in the given Cations  (C₄H₉)4N⁺ is largest cation which attaches fewest water molecules.

d) Charge on the cation makes it more electrostatic maker. But size is inversily proportional to electrostatic property. (C₄H₉)4N⁺ is electrostatic structure breaker.

e) Al⁺³ has highest charge. So it is most electrostatic structure maker.

Hope this helps!

What term is used to describe the energy level of any level higher than the ground state of a particle?
Xelga [282]

Answer:

B. Excited state

Explanation:

Energy levels higher than the ground state are called the excited states. This concept is based on the premise that electrons can move round the nucleus in certain permissibe orbits or energy levels.

The ground state is the lowest energy state available to the electron. This is usually the most stable state.

The excited state is any level higher than the ground state. An electron  in an energy level has a definite amount of energy associated with it at that level.
