<u>Answer:</u> The mass percent of potassium bromide in the mixture is 9.996%

<u>Explanation:</u>

  • To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}     .....(1)

<u>For lead (II) bromide:</u>

Given mass of lead (II) bromide = 0.7822 g

Molar mass of lead (II) bromide = 367 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

\text{Moles of lead (II) bromide}=\frac{0.7822g}{367g/mol}=0.0021mol

  • The chemical equation for the reaction of lead (II) nitrate and potassium bromide follows:

2KBr+Pb(NO_3)_2\rightarrow PbBr_2+2KNO_3

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

1 mole of lead (II) bromide is produced from 2 moles of potassium bromide

So, 0.0021 moles of lead (II) bromide will be produced from = \frac{2}{1}\times 0.0021=0.0042mol of potassium bromide

  • Now, calculating the mass of potassium bromide by using equation 1, we get:

Molar mass of KBr = 119 g/mol

Moles of KBr = 0.0042 moles

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

0.0042mol=\frac{\text{Mass of KBr}}{119g/mol}\\\\\text{Mass of KBr}=0.4998g

  • To calculate the percentage composition of KBr in the mixture, we use the equation:

\%\text{ composition of KBr}=\frac{\text{Mass of KBr}}{\text{Mass of mixture}}\times 100

Mass of mixture = 5.000 g

Mass of KBr = 0.4998 g

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\%\text{ composition of KBr}=\frac{0.4998g}{5.000g}\times 100=9.996\%

Hence, the percent by mass of KBr in the mixture is 9.996 %

Answer:

There is 1.3 kJ heat produced(released)

Explanation:

<u>Step 1:</u> Data given

Volume of a 0.200 M Nacl solution = 100 mL = 0.1 L

Volume of a 0.200 M AgNO3 solution = 100 mL = 0.1 L

Initial temperature = 21.9 °C

Final temperature = 23.5 °C

Solid AgCl will be formed

<u>Step 2</u>: The balanced equation:

AgNO3(aq) + NaCl(aq) → AgCl(s) + NaNO3(aq)

AgCl(s) + NaNO3(aq) → Na+(aq) + NO3-(aq) + AgCl(s)

<u>Step 3:</u> Define the formula

Pressure is constant.  → the heat evolved from the reaction is equivalent to the enthalpy of reaction.  

Q=m*c*ΔT

⇒ Q = the heat transfer (in joule)

⇒ m =the mass (in grams)

⇒ c= the heat capacity (J/g°C)

⇒ ΔT = Change in temperature = T2- T1

Step 4: Calculate heat

Let's vonsider the density the same as the density of water (1g/mL)

Mass = volume * density

Mass = 200 mL * 1g/mL

Mass = 200 grams

Q= m*c*ΔT

⇒ m = 200 grams

⇒ c = the heat capacity (let's consider the heat capacity of water) = 4.184 J/g°C

⇒ ΔT = 23.5 -21.9 = 1.6°C

Q = 200 * 4.184 * 1.6 = 1338 .9 J = 1.3 kJ

There is 1.3 kJ heat produced(released)

Therefore, we assumed no heat is absorbed by the calorimeter, no heat is exchanged between the  calorimeter and its surroundings, and the specific heat and mass of the solution are the same as those for  water (1g/mL and 4.184 J/g°C)

Select the true statements about hydrocarbons.
daser333 [38]

Answer:

a. Hydrocarbons have low boiling points compared to compounds of similar molar mass.

b. Hydrocarbons are hydrophobic.

d. Hydrocarbons are insoluble in water.

Explanation:

As we know that the hydrocarbons is a mix of carbon and hydrogen. In this the availability of the electronegative atom is not there that shows there is no bonding of the hydrogen plus it is dissolved. Also, the hydrocarbons is considered to be a non-polar but as compared to the water, water is a polar

In addition to this, the strong bond is no existed that shows the lower boiling points  

Therefore option A, B and D are right

Photosynthesis is The process that uses sunlight energy to convert water, and carbon dioxide into high energy glucose, and oxygen.




Chloroplast is This organelle of a cell, is where chlorophyll is found. The organelle most involved in photosynthesis.








Hope that helps!!! :)



Chlorophyll is a green pigment present in all plants, that absorbs light to provide energy for photosynthesis.




Energy is the ability to do work, That can produce physical changes within living, and non-living systems.
