Chemistry
1 answer:
Maurinko [17]3 years ago
7 0
Potassium’s atomic number in periodic table is 19, Potassium can only have a mass numbers of 41, 40 and 39. Potassium 39, 40, and 41 are all different isotopes of the element potassium. Each of the isotopes has 19 electrons and 19 protons but the number of neutrons vary. So, in your question Potassium-39 has twenty (20) neutrons, and potassium-40 has 21 neutrons.

What is the percent composition of the u.s quarter, which has the mass of 5.670g
Vitek1552 [10]
The percent composition of each element can be calculated as follows:
% composition = (mass of element / total mass) * 100

The total mass of the quarter is given to be 5.670 grams
Mass of Cu = 5.198 grams
Mass of Ni = 0.472 grams

Substitute in the above equation to get the mass percentage of each element as follows:
% of Cu = (5.198/5.670) * 100 = 91.675%
% of Ni = (0.472/5.670) * 100 = 8.325%

If 12.1 kilograms of al2o3(s), 60.4 kilograms of naoh(l), and 60.4 kilograms of hf(g) react completely, how many kilograms of cr
Fynjy0 [20]
Answer is: 7,826 kg of cryolite.
Chemical reaction: Al₂O₃ + 6NaOH + 12HF → 2Na₃AlF₆ + 9H₂<span>O.
m(</span>Al₂O₃) = 12,1 kg = 12100 g.
n(Al₂O₃) = m(Al₂O₃) ÷ M(Al₂O₃).
n(Al₂O₃) = 12100 g ÷ 101,96 g/mol = 111,86 mol; limiting reactant.
m(NaOH) = 60,4 kg = 60400 g.
n(NaOH) = 60400 g ÷ 40 g/mol.
n(NaOH) = 1510 mol.
m(HF) = 60,4 kg = 60400 g.
n(HF) = 60400 g ÷ 20 g/mol = 3020 mol.
From chemical reaction: n(Al₂O₃) : n(Na₃AlF₆) = 6 : 2.
n(Na₃AlF₆) = 2 ·111,86 mol ÷ 6 = 37,28 mol.
m(Na₃AlF₆) = 37,28 mol · 209,94 g/mol.
m(Na₃AlF₆) = 7826,56 g = 7,826 kg.

How did Thomson discover the electron?
Hoochie [10]

J. J. Thomson discovered electron by performing an experiment using cathode ray tubes. High voltage across is applied across two electrodes at that  causes a beam of particles to flow from the the negatively-charged electrode that is  cathode to  the positively-charged electrode that is anode. Properties of the particles, are tested using two oppositely-charged electric plates around the cathode ray. The cathode ray was deflected away from the negatively-charged electric plate and towards the positively-charged plate. This indicated that the cathode ray was composed of negatively-charged particles. And these negatively charged particles are called electrons.

Carbon tetrachloride, CCl4, was once used as a dry cleaning solvent, but is no longer used because it is carcinogenic. At 57.8 °
Mila [183]
This problem is to use the Claussius-Clapeyron Equation, which is:

ln [p2 / p1] = ΔH/R [1/T2 - 1/T1]

Where p2 and p1 and vapor pressure at estates 2 and 1

ΔH is the enthalpy of vaporization

R is the universal constant of gases = 8.314 J / mol*K

T2 and T1 are the temperatures at the estates 2 and 1.

The  normal boiling point => 1 atm (the pressure of the atmosphere at sea level) = 101,325 kPa

Then p2 = 101.325 kPa
T2 = ?
p1 = 54.0 kPa
T1 = 57.8 °C + 273.15K = 330.95 K
ΔH = 33.05 kJ/mol = 33,050 J/mol 

=> ln [101.325/54.0] = [ (33,050 J/mol) / (8.314 J/mol*K) ] * [1/x - 1/330.95]

=> 0.629349 = 3975.22 [1/x - 1/330.95] = > 1/x =  0.000157 + 1/330.95 = 0.003179

=> x = 314.6 K => 314.6 - 273.15 = 41.5°C

Answer: 41.5 °C
