To get the percent mass of calcium, first let us compute for the total mass:

total mass = 2.89 g + 5.11 g

total mass = 8 g

 

So the percent mass of calcium is:

% calcium = (2.89 / 8) * 100% = 36.125%

How many molecules are in 3 moles of potassium bromide (KBr)
sattari [20]

Answer:

Your strategy here will be to use the molar mass of potassium bromide,

KBr

, as a conversion factor to help you find the mass of three moles of this compound.

So, a compound's molar mass essentially tells you the mass of one mole of said compound. Now, let's assume that you only have a periodic table to work with here.

Potassium bromide is an ionic compound that is made up of potassium cations,

K

+

, and bromide anions,

Br

−

. Essentially, one formula unit of potassium bromide contains a potassium atom and a bromine atom.

Use the periodic table to find the molar masses of these two elements. You will find

For K:

M

39.0963 g mol

For Br:

To get the molar mass of one formula unit of potassium bromide, add the molar masses of the two elements

M

M KBr

=

39.0963 g mol

79.904 g mol

≈

So, if one mole of potassium bromide has a mas of

119 g

m it follows that three moles will have a mass of

You should round this off to one sig fig, since that is how many sig figs you have for the number of moles of potassium bromide, but I'll leave it rounded to two sig figs

A gas stream containing n-hexane in nitrogen with a relative saturation of 0.58 (as a fraction, multiply by 100% if you prefer %
kondor19780726 [428]

This problem is describing a gas mixture whose mole fraction of hexane in nitrogen is 0.58 and which is being fed to a condenser at 75 °C and 3.0 atm, obtaining a product at 3.0 atm and 20 °C, so that the removed heat from the system is required.

In this case, it is recommended to write the enthalpy for each substance as follows:

H_{C-6}=y_{C-6}C_v(T_b-Ti)+\Delta _vH+C_v(T_f-Tb)\\\\H_{N_2}=y_{N_2}C_v(T_f-Ti)

Whereas the specific heat of liquid and gaseous n-hexane are about 200 J/(mol*K) and 160 J/(mol*K) respectively, its condensation enthalpy is 31.5 kJ/mol, boiling point is 69 °C and the specific heat of gaseous nitrogen is about 29.1 J/(mol*K) according to the NIST data tables and y_{C-6} and y_{N_2} are the mole fractions in the gaseous mixture. Next, we proceed to the calculation of both heat terms as shown below:

H_{C-6}=0.58*200(69-75)+(-31500)+160(20-69)=-40036J/mol\\\\H_{N_2}=0.42*29.1(20-75)=-672.21J/mol

It is seen that the heat released by the nitrogen is neglectable in comparison to n-hexanes, however, a rigorous calculation is being presented. Then, we add the previously calculated enthalpies to compute the amount of heat that is removed by the condenser:

Q=-40036+(-672.21)=-40708.21J

Finally we convert this result to kJ:

Q=-40708.21J*\frac{1kJ}{1000J}\\\\Q=-40.7kJ

How do you find the pressure in a container if you don't have the temperature? 
BARSIC [14]
It depends on the process.
Like for example if the process is isothermal(temperature is constant), you can use,
PV = constant or P1V1 = P2V2 where P1V1 are initial conditions and P2V2 are final.


For adiabatic process,

PV^gamma = constant or P1V1 ^gamma = P2V2 ^gamma.

where gamma = Cp
                          ------
                           Cv
Cp = specific heat at constant pressure and Cv = specific at constant volume.

Value of Gamma will be given in question.
Hope this helps!

If I have 251.14 grams of citric acid and calcium bicarbonate mixture how much citrus acid do I have??
Snezhnost [94]
About 255.3 grams is the answer I believe. I just had a school work packet and had that question on it, and that is the answer that I had put on it I believe.
