Sterling silver contains silver and copper metals. if a sterling silver chain contains 17.6g of silver and 2.40g of copper, what
1 answer:
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 =
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 =
mass percentage of Ag = 88%
So, the mass percentage of silver in sterling silver is 88% and in decimal form it is 0.88.

Answer:
Q = 0.50
No
Left
Explanation:
At a generic reversible equation
aA + bB ⇄ cC + dD
The reaction coefficient (Q) is the ratio of the substances concentrations:
Solids and liquid water are not considered in this calculus.
When the reaction achieves equilibrium (concentrations are constant), the Q value is named as Kc, which is the equilibrium constant of the reaction. If Q > Kc, it indicates that the concentration of the products is higher, so, the reaction must progress to the left and form more reactants; if Q < Kc, than the concentrations of the reactants, are higher, so, the reaction progress to the right.
In this case:
Q =
Q = 0.50
So, Q > Kc, the reaction is not at equilibrium and it progresses to the left.
