To take the percent by mass of this element, we use the formula:

% mass = (mass of element / mass of ore) * 100%

% mass = (47.5 g / (660 kg * 1000 g / kg)) * 100*

<span>% mass = 7.20 x 10^-3 %</span>

<u>Answer:</u> The mass percent of element in the ore is 0.0072 %

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the mass percentage of element in ore, we use the equation:

\text{Mass percent of element}=\frac{\text{Mass of element}}{\text{Mass of ore}}\times 100

Mass of element = 47.5 g

Mass of ore = 660 kg = 660000 g    (Conversion factor:  1 kg = 1000 g)

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\text{Mass percent of element}=\frac{47.5g}{660000g}\times 100=0.0072\%

Hence, the mass percent of element in the ore is 0.0072 %

Fill in the coefficients that will balance the following reaction:
Alex17521 [72]

Answer:

To balance a reaction, the amount of reactants must be equal to the amount of products, as stated by the Law of Conservation of Matter. It may help you to keep track of  the number of each element in a list as you try to balance. It's not able to be balanced.

How many molecules of XeF6 are formed from 12.9 L of F2 (at 298 K and 2.6 atm) according to 11) the following reaction? Assume t
ddd [48]

Answer:

#Molecules XeF₆ = 2.75 x 10²³ molecules XeF₆.

Explanation:

Given … Excess Xe + 12.9L F₂ @298K & 2.6Atm => ? molecules XeF₆

1. Convert 12.9L 298K & 2.6Atm to STP conditions so 22.4L/mole can be used to determine moles of F₂ used.

=> V(F₂ @ STP) = 12.6L(273K/298K)(2.6Atm/1.0Atm) = 30.7L F₂ @ STP

2. Calculate moles of F₂ used

=> moles F₂ = 30.7L/22.4L/mole = 1.372 mole F₂ used

3. Calculate moles of XeF₆ produced from reaction ratios …

Xe + 3F₂ => XeF₆ => moles of XeF₆ = ⅓(moles F₂) = ⅓(1.372) moles XeF₆ = 0.4572 mole XeF₆

4. Calculate number molecules XeF₆ by multiplying by Avogadro’s Number  (6.02 x 10²³ molecules/mole)

=> #Molecules XeF₆ = 0.4572mole(6.02 x 10²³ molecules/mole)

                                  = 2.75 x 10²³ molecules XeF₆.

Which elements have the most similar chemical properties
gtnhenbr [62]

Answer:

Elements that belong to the <em>same </em><em>GROUP</em><em> </em>of the periodic table have the most similar chemical properties.

Explanation:

A GROUP in the periodic table is a column of elements with the same number of valence electrons. Since electrons are exchanged/shared during a chemical reaction, then elements with similar valence electrons, will react similarly. Thus elements belonging to the <em>same GROUP</em> are most similar in the way they react.

For example: Sodium and Lithium are group 1 elements while fluorine and chlorine are group 17 elements. In a reaction under normal conditions, Sodium and Lithium will both try to give up their single valence electron to form cations. In doing so they will react more similarly. On the other hand, Fluorine and Chlorine who are more inclined to accept a single electron to form cations react less like the group 1 elements and more like each other.
