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\%

Gemiola [76]

Answer:

A. m C5H12 = 108.23 g

B. m F2 = 547.142 g

C. m Ca(CN)2 = 71.85 g

Explanation:

  • mass (m) = mol (n) × molecular weigth (Mw)

∴ Mw C5H12 = ((12.011)(5)) + ((1.008)(12)) = 72.151 g/mol C5H12

∴ Mw F2 = (18.998)(2) = 37.996 g/mol F2

∴ Mw = Ca(CN)2 = 40.078+((12.011+14.007)(2)) = 92.114 g/mol Ca(CN)2

A. m C5H12 = ( 1.50 mol)×(72.151 g/mol) = 108.23 g C5H12

B. m F2 = (14.4 mol)×(37.996 g/mol) = 547.142 g F2

C. m Ca(CN)2 = (0.780 mol)×(92.114 g/mol) = 71.85 g Ca(CN)2

When 4.15 grams of silver nitrate is reacted with 1.11 grams of iron(III) chloride, which best represents the amount of silver c
PolarNik [594]

Answer:

The mass of silver chloride produced = 2.202 g

Explanation:

Equation of the reaction is given below

3AgNO₃(aq) + FeCl₃(aq) ----> 3AgCl(s) + Fe(NO₃)₃(aq)

molar mass of AgNO₃ = 170 g/mol

molar mass of FeCl₃ = 233.5 g/mol

molar mass of AgCl = 143.5 g/mol

3 moles of silver nitrate reacts with 1 mole of iron (iii) chloride to give 3 moles of silver nitrate

4.15 grams of AgNO₃ = 4.15/170 = 0.0244 moles of AgNO₃

1.11 grams of FeCl₃ = 1.11/233.5 = 0.0047 moles of FeCl₃

mole ratio of AgNO₃ to FeCl₃ = 0.0244/0.0047 = 5 : 1

therefore, FeCl₃ is the limiting reactant

0.0047 moles of FeCl₃ reacting will produce 0.0047 *  3 moles of AgCl = 0.0141 moles of AgCl

0.0141 moles of AgCl = 0.0141 * 143.5 g of AgCl = 2.02 g of AgCl =

Therefore mass of silver chloride produced = 2.202 g

dmitriy555 [2]

Answer

No you did not lose weight.

Explanation:

Weight is the force acting on an object, Gravity is a force on earth which does not apply to the moon so your weight may change depending in where you are but your mass will stay the same because mass measures the matter of an object ITSELF! Have a nice day....
