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.

Match each element to the number of electrons in its valence shell
blondinia [14]

Answer: Be= 2, C =4,  Li = 1 and  B=3

Explanation:

The valence shell can be define as the outermost shell of an atom that contains the valence electrons.

Beryllium (Be), electronic configuration; 1s2 2s2, = 2 electrons in its valence shell.

Carbon (C), electronic configuration; 1s2 2s2 2p2, = 4 electrons in its valence shell.

Lithium (Li), electronic configuration; 1s2 2s1 = 1 electron in its valence shell.

Boron (B) , electronic configuration; 1s2 2s2 2p1 = 3 electron in its valence shell.

A metal weighing 7.101 g is placed in a graduated cylinder containing 33.0 mL of water. The water level rose to the 37.4 mL mark
musickatia [10]
Volume of the metal = change in volume reading
Volume = 37.4 - 33
Volume = 4.4 ml

Density = mass / volume
Density = 7.101 / 4.4
Density = 1.61 g/ml

Select the correct answer. When an atom in a reactant loses electrons, what happens to its oxidation number? A. Its oxidation nu
vfiekz [6]

Answer:

C. Its oxidation number increases.

Explanation:

  • <em><u>Oxidation is defined as the loss of electrons by an atom while reduction is the gain of electrons by an atom</u></em>.
  • Atoms of elements have an oxidation number of Zero in their elemental state.
  • When an atom looses electrons it undergoes oxidation and its oxidation number increases.
  • For example, <em><u>an atom of sodium (Na) at its elemental state has an oxidation number of 0. When the sodium atom looses an electrons it becomes a cation, Na+, with an oxidation number of +1 , the loss of electron shows an increase in oxidation number from 0 to +1.</u></em>

A student preforms a chemical reaction in which 35 grams of hydrogen and 65 grams of oxygen reacted to form water. What is the m
tatuchka [14]

Answer:

Mass of water = 73.08 g

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of hydrogen = 35 g

Mass of oxygen = 65 g

Mass of water = ?

Solution:

First of all we will write the balanced chemical equation:

2H₂  + O₂   →    2H₂O

Number of moles of hydrogen = mass/ molar mass

Number of moles of hydrogen =  35 g/ 2 g/mol

Number of moles of hydrogen = 17.5 mol

Number of moles of oxygen = 65 g / 32 g/mol

Number of moles of oxygen = 2.03 moles

Now we compare the moles of water with moles hydrogen and oxygen.

                                     H₂               :              H₂O

                                      2                :                2

                                    17.5              :              17.5

                                       O₂             :            H₂O

                                      1                :               2

                                      2.03         :             2× 2.03 =4.06 mol

Number of moles of water produced by oxygen are less so oxygen is limitting reactant.

Mass of water:

           Mass of water = number of moles × molar mass

          Mass of water = 4.06 mol × 18 g/mol

           Mass of water = 73.08 g
