Answer:

Mass percentage of gold : 33.35%

Mass percentage of silver: 62.80%

Mass percentage of copper : 3.85%

Explanation:

N=n\times N_A

Where : N = Number of atoms

n = moles

N_A=6.022\times 10^{23} = Avogadro number

Let the total atoms present in the alloy be 100.

Atom percentage of silver = 44.9%

Atoms of of silver = 44.9% of 100 atoms = 44.9

Atomic weight of silver = 107.87 g/mol

Mass of 44.9 silver atoms = 107.87 g/mol ×  44.9 = 4,843.363 g/mol

Atom percentage of gold= 46.3%

Atoms of of gold = 46.3% of 100 atoms = 46.3

Atomic weight of gold = 196.97 g/mol

Mass of 44.9 gold atoms = 196.97 g/mol × 46.3 = 9,119.711 g/mol

Atom percentage of copper = 8.8 %

Atoms of of copper = 8.8% of 100 atoms = 8.8

Atomic weight of copper = 63.55 g/mol

Mass of 44.9 copper atoms = 63.55 g/mol ×  8.8 = 559.24 g/mol

Total mass of an alloy :4,843.363 g/mol + 9,119.711 g/mol +  559.24 g/mol

Mass percentage of gold :

\frac{4,843.363 g/mol}{4,843.363 g/mol + 9,119.711 g/mol +  559.24 g/mol}\times 100=33.35 \%

Mass percentage of silver:

\frac{9,119.711 g/mol}{4,843.363 g/mol + 9,119.711 g/mol +  559.24 g/mol}\times 100=62.80\%

Mass percentage of copper :

\frac{559.24 g/mol}{4,843.363 g/mol + 9,119.711 g/mol +  559.24 g/mol}\times 100=3.85\%

Based on their electrons dot diagrams, what is the formula for the covalently bonded compound
Luda [366]

Answer:

Nitrogen, the next nonmetal, has 5 electrons in the valence shell, so it needs to combine with 3 hydrogen atoms to fulfill the octet rule and form a stable compound called ammonia (NH3).

Why the enthalpy of Ba(oh)2 +h2so4 is greater than Ba(oh)2 + hcl?​
Rina8888 [55]

Answer:

Explanation:

To break apart a molecule of H2So4 is much higher than HCl although HCl is an ionic bond it is only bonded to one hydrogen. While H2So4 is bonded to two of them, aswell as its structure being much more complex. The energy to break Ba(h)2 is equal in both.
