Explanation:
Note: Molar masses of elements can be found online or in the periodic table.
Moles of Magnesium
= 3.60g / (24.3g/mol) = 0.148mol.
Moles of Chlorine
= 10.65g / (35.45g/mol) = 0.300mol.
Mole ratio of Magnesium to Chlorine
= 0.148mol : 0.300mol = 1 : 2.
Hence we have the empirical formula MgCl2.
Moles of Lithium
= 9.1g / (6.94g/mol) = 1.311mol.
Moles of Oxygen
= 10.4g / (16g/mol) = 0.650mol.
Moles ratio of Lithium to Oxygen
= 1.311mol : 0.650mol = 2 : 1.
Hence we have the empirical formula Li2O.
Answer:
Half life is the time taken by a radio active isotope to reduce by half of its original amount. Radium-226 has a half life of 1602 years meaning that it would take 1602 years for a mass of radium to reduce by half.
Number of half lives in 9612 years = 9612/1602 = 6 half lives
New mass = Original mass x (1/2)n where n is the number of half lives.
Therefore, New mass= 500 x (1/2)∧6
= 500 x 0.015625
= 7.8125 g
Hence the mass of radium after 9612 years will be 7.8125 grams.

Answer:
pH = 3.3
Explanation:
Buffer solutions minimize changes in pH when quantities of acid or base are added into the mix. The typical buffer composition is a weak electrolyte (wk acid or weak base) plus the salt of the weak electrolyte. On addition of acid or base to the buffer solution, the solution chemistry functions to remove the acid or base by reacting with the components of the buffer to shift the equilibrium of the weak electrolyte left or right to remove the excess hydronium ions or hydroxide ions is a way that results in very little change in pH of the system. One should note that buffer solutions do not prevent changes in pH but minimize changes in pH. If enough acid or base is added the buffer chemistry can be destroyed.
In this problem, the weak electrolyte is HNO₂(aq) and the salt is KNO₂(aq). In equation, the buffer solution is 0.55M HNO₂ ⇄ H⁺ + 0.75M KNO₂⁻ . The potassium ion is a spectator ion and does not enter into determination of the pH of the solution. The object is to determine the hydronium ion concentration (H⁺) and apply to the expression pH = -log[H⁺].
Solution using the I.C.E. table:
HNO₂ ⇄ H⁺ + KNO₂⁻
C(i) 0.55M 0M 0.75M
ΔC -x +x +x
C(eq) 0.55M - x x 0.75M + x b/c [HNO₂] / Ka > 100, the x can be
dropped giving ...
≅0.55M x ≅0.75M
Ka = [H⁺][NO₂⁻]/[HNO₂] => [H⁺] = Ka · [HNO₂]/[NO₂⁻]
=> [H⁺] = 6.80x010⁻⁴(0.55) / (0.75) = 4.99 x 10⁻⁴M
pH = -log[H⁺] = -log(4.99 x 10⁻⁴) -(-3.3) = 3.3
Solution using the Henderson-Hasselbalch Equation:
pH = pKa + log[Base]/[Acid] = -log(Ka) + log[Base]/[Acid]
= -log(6.8 x 10⁻⁴) + log[(0.75M)/(0.55M)]
= -(-3.17) + 0.14 = 3.17 + 0.14 = 3.31 ≅ 3.3
Each step of the food chain in the energy pyramid is called a trophic level. Plants or other photosynthetic organisms (autotrophs) are found on the first trophic level, at the bottom of the pyramid. The next level will be the herbivores, and then the carnivores that eat the herbivores.
