First step is to calculate the mass of Ag in each compound separately:
From the periodic table: 
molar mass of Ag is 107.87 gm
molar mass of Cl is 35.45 gm
molar mass of Br is 79.9 gm
For AgCl, mass % of Ag = [107.87/143.32] x 100 = 75.26%
For AgBr, mass % of Ag = [107.87/187.77] x 100 = 57.45 %

Second step is to calculate the mass % of each compound in the mixture:
Assume mass % of AgCl is y and that of AgBr is (1-y) as the total percentage is 100% or 1
0.6094 = 0.7526 y + 0.5745 (1-y)
y = 0.8716
This means that the mixture is almost 87% AgCl and 13% AgBr
The mass % of chlorine and bromine together is (100%-60.94%) which is 39.06%
mass % of chlorine = (1-0.6094)(0.8716) x 100 = 34.044%
mass % of bromine = 39.04 - 34.044 = 5.056%

How does an atom of one element differ from the atom of another element?
Temka [501]

Explanation:

The atoms of one element differs from the atoms of other elements in terms of the number of protons they contain. This is often taken as the atomic number of such an atom.

  • The number of proton is the best indicator of the atom one is dealing with.
  • Based on this number, elements are categorized into distinct columns and rows on the periodic table.
  • The atomic number is the number of protons or positively charge particles in the atom.

II.

It is possible to change the identity of an atom. This is only possible by altering the atomic number of the atom.

Only nuclear reactions have this capability.

When an atom undergoes nuclear reaction that involves change in number of protons, transmutation occurs and a new atom forms.

Explain how our body systems work together to get oxygen into and around our body.
aleksandrvk [35]

Answer:  (1) Inhales (breathes in) Oxygen - good for the body - gives it to the Circulatory System to be transported throughout the body through the blood. (1) Digestive System gets nutrients (good) from food and hands it over to the blood and Circulatory System then carries those nutrients where they need to go.

What is the approximate percent by mass of potassium in KHCO3?
lozanna [386]

Answer:

The mass percent of potassium is 39%

Option C is correct

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Atomic mass of K = 39.10 g/mol

Atomic mass of H = 1.01 g/mol

Atomic mass of C = 12.01 g/mol

Atomic mass of O = 16.0 g/mol

Step 2: Calculate molar mass of KHCO3

Molar mass KHCO3 = 39.10 + 12.01 + 1.01 + 3*16.0

Molar mass KHCO3 = 100.12 g/mol

Step 3: Calculate mass percent of potassium (K)

%K = (atomic mass of K / molar mass of KHCO3) * 100%

%K = (39.10 / 100.12) * 100%

%K = 39.05 %

The mass percent of potassium is 39%

Option C is correct

How does the arrangement of elements in periods relate to electron configuration
VashaNatasha [74]
Electronic Configuration of elements in a period is same because If you see the electronic Configuration of elements in a period you will notice that the valence shell electrons for all elements are present in the same Shell. For example, in first period consisting of Hydrogen and Helium, both the elements' valence electrons are present in the same Shell.
Electronic Configuration of Hydrogen,
1s^1
Electronic Configuration of Helium,
1s^2

Both elements' valance electrons are present in the 1st shell

(This is just a small example to understand the concept because other periods are long but the first period is short that's why I gave the example of the first period)
