Gnom [1K]3 years ago
8 0

Answer: the percent composition of carbon in heptane is 83.9%

Explanation:

<u>1) Atomic masses of the atoms:</u>

  • C: 12.01 g/mol
  • H: 1.008 g/mol

<u>2) Molar mass of heptane:</u>

  • C₇H₁₆: 7 × 12.01 g/mol + 16×1.008 g/mol = 100.2 g/mol

<u>3) Mass of carbon in one mole of heptane:</u>

  • C₇: 7 × 12.01 g/mol = 84.07 g/mol

<u>3) Percent composition of carbon:</u>

  • % = (mass in grams of C) / (mass in grams of C₇H₁₆) × 100 =

           = (84.07 g/ 100.2 g) × 100 = 83.9% ← answer

Alka-Seltzer is a solid mixture of two substances, sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3) and citric acid (H3C6H5O7). The substances react
laiz [17]

1) List the reactants: sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO₃) and citric acid (H₃C₆H₅O₇).

Reactants undergo change during a chemical reaction.

2) List the products: water (H₂O), carbon dioxide (CO₂) and sodium citrate (Na₃C₆H₅O₇).

Products are the substances formed from chemical reactions.

3) The balanced chemical equation:

3NaHCO₃ + H₃C₆H₅O₇ → 3H₂O + 3CO₂ + Na₃C₆H₅O₇.

A student mixes 5.00 mL of 0.0020 M Fe(NO3)3 with 3.00 mL of 0.0020 M KSCN solution and 2.00 mL water at a certain temperature.
ehidna [41]

Answer:

[Fe⁺³] = 0.0010 M

[SCN⁻] = 0.0006 M

Explanation:

First we<u> calculate how many moles of Fe⁺³ and SCN⁻ were added</u>, using <em>the given volumes and concentrations</em>:

  • Fe⁺³ ⇒ 5.00 mL * 0.0020 M = 0.010 mmol Fe⁺³
  • SCN⁻ ⇒ 3.00 mL * 0.0020 M = 0.006 mmol SCN⁻

Now we can <u>calculate the initial concentrations</u>, after <em>calculating the new volume of the solution</em>:

  • New volume = 5.00 mL + 3.00 mL + 2.00 mL = 10.00 mL
  • [Fe⁺³] = 0.010 mmol / 10.00 mL = 0.0010 M
  • [SCN⁻] = 0.006 mmol / 10.00 mL = 0.0006 M
