A unit of ppm has an acronym of parts per million. The equivalent units of ppm is therefore mg/L and mg/kg. So the ppm is:

mass Ca+ = 1.3 g = 1300 mg

ppm = 1300 mg / 3100 kg

<span>ppm = 0.42 ppm</span>

At a temperature of 280 K, the gas in a cylinder has a volume of 20.0 liters. If the volume of the gas is decreased to 10.0 lite

seraphim [82]

To solve this we assume that the gas inside is an ideal gas. Then, we can use the ideal gas equation which is expressed as PV = nRT. At a constant pressure and number of moles of the gas the ratio T/V is equal to some constant. At another set of condition of temperature, the constant is still the same. Calculations are as follows:

T1 / V1 = T2 / V2

T2 = T1 x V2 / V1

T2 = 280 x 20.0 / 10

<span>T2 = 560 K</span>

Rank the following fertilizers in decreasing order of mass percentage of nitrogen:

charle [14.2K]

<h3>Answer:</h3>

NH₃ > NH₄NO₃ > (NH₄)₂HPO₄ > (NH₄)₂SO₄ > KNO₃ > (NH₄)H₂PO₄

<h3>Soution:</h3>

In (NH₄)₂HPO₄:

Mass of Nitrogen = N × 2 = 14 × 2 = 28 g.mol⁻¹

Molar Mass of (NH₄)₂HPO₄ = 132.06 g.mol⁻¹

Mass %age = Mass of N / M.Mass of (NH₄)₂HPO₄ × 100

Mass %age = 28 g.mol⁻¹ / 132.06 g.mol⁻¹ × 100

Mass %age = 21.20 %

In (NH₄)₂SO₄:

Mass of Nitrogen = N × 2 = 14 × 2 = 28 g.mol⁻¹

Molar Mass of (NH₄)₂SO₄ = 132.14 g.mol⁻¹

Mass %age = Mass of N / M.Mass of (NH₄)₂SO₄ × 100

Mass %age = 28 g.mol⁻¹ / 132.14 g.mol⁻¹ × 100

Mass %age = 21.18 %

In KNO₃:

Mass of Nitrogen = N × 1 = 14 × 1 = 14 g.mol⁻¹

Molar Mass of KNO₃ = 101.10 g.mol⁻¹

Mass %age = Mass of N / M.Mass of KNO₃ × 100

Mass %age = 14 g.mol⁻¹ / 101.10 g.mol⁻¹ × 100

Mass %age = 13.84 %

In (NH₄)H₂PO₄:

Mass of Nitrogen = N × 1 = 14 × 1 = 14 g.mol⁻¹

Molar Mass of (NH₄)H₂PO₄ = 115.03 g.mol⁻¹

Mass %age = Mass of N / M.Mass of (NH₄)H₂PO₄ × 100

Mass %age = 14 g.mol⁻¹ / 115.03 g.mol⁻¹ × 100

Mass %age = 12.17 %

In NH₃:

Mass of Nitrogen = N × 1 = 14 × 1 = 14 g.mol⁻¹

Molar Mass of NH₃ = 132.14 g.mol⁻¹

Mass %age = Mass of N / M.Mass of NH₃ × 100

Mass %age = 14 g.mol⁻¹ / 17.03 g.mol⁻¹ × 100

Mass %age = 82.20 %

In NH₄NO₃:

Mass of Nitrogen = N × 2 = 14 × 2 = 28 g.mol⁻¹

Molar Mass of NH₄NO₃ = 80.04 g.mol⁻¹

Mass %age = Mass of N / M.Mass of NH₄NO₃ × 100

Mass %age = 28 g.mol⁻¹ / 80.04 g.mol⁻¹ × 100

Mass %age = 34.98 %

Which two subatomic particles have the greatest mass?

denpristay [2]

Answer:

PROTON AND NEUTRON

Explanation:

The mass of proton is : $1.67*10^{-27}kg$

A proton is one of the main particles that make up the atom . The other two particles are neutron and electron. Protons are found in the nucleus of the atom.This is a tiny , dense region at the centre of the atom. Protons have a positive charge of one (+1) and a mass of 1 atomic mass unit ( amu ) , which is about $1.67*10^{-27}kg$ . Together with neutrons , they make up virtually all of the mass of an atom.

The mass of neutron is also approximately: $1.67*10^{-27}kg$ but a little more than that .

Atoms of all elements - except Hydrogen , have neutrons in their nucleus . Unlike protons and electrons , these have no charge - they are electrically neutral . The mass of a neutron is slightly greater than the mass of a proton but not very significant

The theoretical yield for a reaction is 55.9 g LiCl. The actual yield is 24.6 g LiCl. What is the percent yield of the reaction?

xenn [34]

In chemical reactions, the actual yield is not the same as the expected yield . Actual yield is lower than the theoretical yield . Then we have to find the yield percentage. To see what percentage of the theoretical yield is the actual yield.
Percent yield = actual yield / theoretical yield x 100%
Percent yield = 24.6/55.9 x100%
Percent yield = 44%
