Answer:

86.2% of Hg in the ore

Explanation:

Percent composition is defined as one hundred times the ratio between mass of an element in a compound and total mass of the compound. Formula is:

% composition = \frac{Mass element}{Total mass} *100% composition =  \frac{Mass Element}{Total Mass} *100

If an ore weights 681g and contains 587g of mercury, percent composition is:

(587g Hg / 681g) × 100 = <em>86.2% of Hg in the ore</em>

24. 00 ml of a 0. 25 m naoh solution is titrated with 0. 10m hcl. What is the ph of the solution after 24. 00 ml of the hcl has
12345 [234]

pH of the solution after 24. 00 ml of the hcl has been added is 12.87

millimoles NaOH = mL x M = 24.00 mL x 0.25 M = 6.00

millimoles HCl = 24.00 mL x 0.10 M = 2.40

total volume = 48.00 mL

.................................NaOH + HCl ==>NaCl + H2O

initial.........................6.00.........0............0.........0

added.....................................2.40............................

change.................... -2.40......-2.40.........+2.40.... +2.40

equilibrium.................3.60.........0..............2.40.......2.40

The NaCl contributes nothing to the pH of the final solution. The pH is determined by the excess of NaOH present. (NaOH) = millimoles/mL = 3.60/48.00 = 0.075 M = (OH^-)

pOH = -log (OH^-). Then

pOH = -log (0.075)

pOH =1.1249

As we know,

pH + pOH = pKw = 14.00

pH=14-pOH

pH=14-1.1249

pH=12.87

<h3>What is pH?</h3>

pH is a logarithmic measure of an aqueous solution's hydrogen ion concentration. pH = -log[H+], where log is the base 10 logarithm and [H+] is the concentration of hydrogen ions in moles per liter.

The pH of an aqueous solution describes how acidic or basic it is, with a pH less than 7 being acidic and a pH greater than 7 being basic. A pH of 7 is regarded as neutral (e.g., pure water). pH values typically range from 0 to 14, though very strong acids may have a negative pH and very strong bases may have a pH greater than 14.

What are the benefits of scientists using the metric system worldwide?select all that apply
denis-greek [22]

There are several scales to determine the weight of material. The chose of the weight scale depends upon the size of the material. Like if we have to measure the molecular or atomic weight of  a molecule or atom we use gm. Like that for the bigger molecules like proteins the weight of the molecule is expressed by different scale due to its big size. Like that for big material like iron rods etc we generally use kilograms or ton. There are two types of measuring units one is C.G.S. and another is S.I. The S.I. units are more acceptable worldwide than that the C.G.S. units as the digit comes in SI units are easily handable than that of CGS.

Thus metric is used to determine a large weight of compounds which is a SI unit and handable.
