A mixture of BaCl2 and NaCl is analyzed by precipitating all the barium as BaSO4. After addition of an excess of Na2SO4 to a 3.9

88-g sample of the mixture, the mass of precipitate collected is 2.113 g. What is the mass percentage of barium chloride in the mixture?

Answer:

The mass % of BaCl2 is 47.24 %

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Molar mass BaSO4 = 233.38 g/mol

Molar mass BaCl2 = 208.23 g/mol

Step 2: The balanced equation

BaCl2(aq) + Na2SO4(aq) → BaSO4(s) + 2NaCl(aq)

Step 3: Calculate moles BaSO4

Moles BaSO4 = mass BaSO4 / molar mass BaSO4

Moles BaSO4 = 2.113 grams / 233.38 g/mol

Moles BaSO4 = 0.00905 moles

Step 4: Calculate moles BaCl2

For 1 mol BaCl2 we need 1 mol Na2SO4 to produce 1 mol BaSO4 and 2 moles NaCl

For 0.00905 moles BaSO4 we need 0.00905 moles BaCl2

Step 5: Calculate mass BaCl2

Mass BaCl2 = moles BaCl2 * molar mass BaCl2

Mass BaCl2 = 0.00905 moles *208.23 g/mol

Mass BaCl2 = 1.884 grams

Step 6: Calculate % BaCl2

% BaCl2 = (1.884 / 3.988 ) * 100%

% BaCl2 = 47.24 %

The mass % of BaCl2 is 47.24 %

Is O2 always a double bond?
Dima020 [189]
  • O-O single bonds and H-O single bonds in \text{H}_2\text{O}_2 molecules.
  • H-O single bonds in \text{H}_2\text{O} molecules.
  • O=O double bonds in \text{O}_2 molecules.
<h3>Explanation</h3>

How many valence electrons do atoms in each molecule need for them to be stable?

  • Each H atom needs two valence electrons to be stable.
  • Each atom of an element other than H needs eight valence electron to be stable.
  • There are two H atoms and two O atoms in an  \text{H}_2\text{O}_2 molecule. Atoms in each \text{H}_2\text{O}_2 need 2 \times 1 + 2\times 2 = 6 more electrons to be stable.
  • There are two H atoms and one O atom in an \text{H}_2\text{O} molecule. Atoms in each \text{H}_2\text{O} molecule need 2 \times 1 + 2= 4 more electrons to be stable.
  • There are two O atoms in an \text{O}_2 molecule. Atoms in each \text{O}_2 molecule need 2 \times 2 = 4 more electrons to be stable.

How many chemical bonds in each molecule?

Each chemical bond adds one valence electron to each bonding atom. Each chemical bond connects two atoms. As a result, each chemical bond adds two valence electrons to the molecule.

  • Each \text{H}_2\text{O}_2 molecule needs 6 / 2 = 3 chemical bonds.
  • Each \text{H}_2\text{O} molecule needs 4 / 2 = 2 chemical bonds.
  • Each \text{O}_2 molecule needs 4 /2= 2 chemical bonds.

What chemical bonds are these? Again, each H atom needs only one more valence electron to be stable. It will share only one electron with O and form one H-O bond. The rest of the chemical bonds are between O atoms.

  • There are two H atoms in each \text{H}_2\text{O}_2 molecule, which form two H-O bonds. Two of the three chemical bonds in this molecule are H-O. The other is an O-O single bond between the two O atoms.
  • There are two H atoms in each \text{H}_2\text{O} molecule, which form two H-O bonds. Both chemical bonds in this molecule are H-O. There's no O-O bond in this molecule.
  • There is no H atom in \text{O}_2 molecules. Both chemical bonds are between O atoms. However, there are only two O atoms. There must be two chemical bonds between the two O atoms. That bond will be an O-O double bond.

if you burn a piece of wood you will feel heat see water vapor and be left with ashes how come the matter was not destroyed
Elanso [62]
The matter wasn't destroyed because albert einsteins theory of the black hole says that matter cannot be destroyed if it is burned into the same color of a black hole. this eqation proves my thesis:

N76 [4]

Answer:

Which sequence of events is required to form a limestone cave where you can walk around and observe cave formations, such as stalactites? (Note: stalactites hang from the ceiling - they have to hold on tight to the roof.)

A geological sequence of events as involving the lowering of the water table to expose cave structures where stalactites and stalagmites form which is described as follows,

Explanation:

1. Acidic percolated water formed cavities of solution beneath the natural water table known as phreatic zone

2. After the passage of time there is a drop in the water table dropped forming caves from cavities

3. These caves, which are air filled voids that contains adequate environment for forming stalactites and stalagmites and where they are found
