The mineral vanadinite has the formula pb5(vo4)3cl. what mass percent of chlorine does it contain?

Chemistry
1 answer:
lubasha [3.4K]2 years ago
5 0

The molar mass of vanadinite is 1416.27 g/mol. Looking at the molecular formula we can see that there is 1 mole of Cl for every mole of vanadinite. Therefore:

mass percent = [(1 mole Cl * 35.45 g/mol) / (1 mole Pb5(VO4)3Cl * 1416.27 g/mol)] * 100%

<span>mass percent = 2.50%</span>

H2O+O2=H202, how would I balance this equation?
Sergio [31]

Answer:

2H2O2→2H2O+O2

Explanation:

This reaction is of the spontaneous decomposition of hydrogen peroxide down into water and oxygen.

Add 2 molecules of hydrogen peroxide and 2 molecules of water. Since oxygen is naturally diatomic, the total number of atoms of each element is now the same on both sides of the equation so it is balanced.

2H2O2→2H2O+O2

Compare the potential energy of two atoms chemically bonded to their potential energy when separated.
ikadub [295]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

The essence of chemical bonding is in order to attain minimum energy. The minimum energy state is the most stable state of a chemical system.

As the distance of separation between atoms decreases, the potential energy of the system decreases accordingly.

An optimum distance is reached when the two atoms attain the lowest potential energy. This is designated as the bond distance of the two atoms.

Hence two atoms have lower potential energy when bonded than when separated at large distance.

What is the specific heat of a substance if 1560 cal are required to raise the temperature of a 312-g sample by 15°C?
Oksanka [162]
The specific heat capacity  the substance is calculated  using  the below formula

Q(heat) = Mc delta T
Q =1560  cal
m(mass) 312 g
delta T (change in temperature ) = 15 c
C= specific heat capacity=?

by making c the subject of the formula 
c=Q/m delta T
= 1560  cal/ 312g x 15 c = 0.33 cal/g/c (answer B)
