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 %

How many grams of mercury would be contained in 15 compact fluorescent light bulbs?
zhenek [66]

Answer:

Grams of mercury= 0.06 g of Hg

Note: The question is incomplete. The complete question is as follows:

A compact fluorescent light bulb contains 4 mg of mercury. How many grams of mercury would be contained in 15 compact fluorescent light bulbs?

Explanation:

Since one fluorescent light bulb contains 4 mg of mercury,

15 such bulbs will contain 15 * 4 mg of mercury = 60 mg

1 mg = 0.001 g

Therefore, 60 mg = 0.001 g * 60 = 0.06 g of mercury.

Compact fluorescent lightbulbs (CFLs) are tubes containing mercury and noble gases. When electricity is passed through the bulb, electron-streams flow from a tungsten-coated coil. They collide with mercury atoms, exciting their electrons and creating flashes of ultraviolet light. A phosphor coating on the inside of the tube absorbs this UV light flashes and re-emits it as visible light. The amount of mercury in a fluorescent lamp varies from 3 to 46 mg, depending on lamp size and age.

A rigid container is filled with chlorine gas. The gas has a pressure of 2.75 bar. The tank is then cooled down to -20.0oC at wh
Gnom [1K]

Answer:

Original temperature (T1) = - 37.16°C

Explanation:

Given:

Gas pressure (P1) = 2.75 bar

Temperature (T2) = - 20°C

Gas pressure (P2) = 1.48 bar

Find:

Original temperature (T1)

Computation:

Using Gay-Lussac's Law

⇒ P1 / T1 = P2 / T2

⇒ 2.75 / T1 = 1.48 / (-20)

⇒ T1 = (2.75)(-20) / 1.48

⇒ T1 = -55 / 1.48

⇒ T1 = - 37.16°C

Original temperature (T1) = - 37.16°C

Assuming complete dissociation, what is the ph of a 3.24 mg/l ba(oh)2 solution?
weqwewe [10]
We need to first find the molarity of Ba(OH₂) solution.
A mass of 3.24 mg is dissolved in 1 L solution.
Ba(OH)₂ moles dissolved - 3.24 x 10⁻³ g/171.3 g/mol = 1.90 x 10⁻⁵ mol
dissociaton of Ba(OH)₂ is as follows;
Ba(OH)₂ --> Ba²⁺ + 2OH⁻
1 mol of Ba(OH)₂ dissociates to form 2OH⁻ ions.
Therefore [OH⁻] = (1.90 x 10⁻⁵)x2  = 3.8 x 10⁻⁵ M
pOH = -log[OH⁻]
pOH = -log (3.8 x 10⁻⁵)
pOH = 4.42
pH + pOH = 14
therefore pH = 14 - 4.42 
pH = 9.58
