Answer:

The identity of unknown substance is Barium.

Explanation:

The given compound has a formula of MCl2. And the percentage of chlorine in this compound is said to be 34.1 %. But, we know that the mass of chlorine in this compound is, 35.5*2 = 71 g

Therefore, if we let x be the total mass of the compound, then:

34.1% of x = 71 g

(0.341)x = 71 g

x = 71 g/0.341

x = 208.2 g

Hence, the mass of other atom M, must be:

M = x - 71 g

M = 208.2 g - 71 g

M = 137.2 g

Now, we look into periodic table in group II. We find that the element is Barium with atomic mass of 137 g.

<u>The identity of unknown substance is Barium.</u>

If a proton and an electron are released when they are 5.50×10−10 mm apart (typical atomic distances), find the initial accelera
Vlada [557]

Answer: The initial acceleration of the proton = (4.56 × 10^23) m/s2

The initial acceleration of the electron = (8.36 × 10^26) m/s2

Explanation: The force of attraction between the proton and electron can be computed using the statements of Coulomb's law which state that the force of attraction between two charged particles is directly proportional to the product of the two charges and inversely proportional to the square of their distances apart.

F = (Kq1q2)/(r^2) where K = (9 × (10^9) Nm(C^-2))

But q1 is the charge on a proton = (1.6 × (10^-19)) C

q2 is charge on an electron = -(1.6 × (10^-19)) C

r = (5.50 × (10^-10))mm = (5.50 × (10^-13))m

Computing all that, F = 0.0007616529 N = (7.62 × 10^-4) N

But the force of attraction is converted to that required for motion when they're released.

F = ma.

For proton, m = (1.67 × 10^-27) kg

a = F/m = 0.000762/(1.67 × 10^-27) = (4.56 × 10^23) m/s2

For electron, m = (9.11 × 10^-31) kg

a = F/m = 0.000762/(9.11 × 10^-31) = (8.36 × 10^26) m/s2

Calcula la cantidad de gramos que hay en 12,5 mol de NaCl (Masa Na: 23,0; Cl: 35,5).
Anon25 [30]

Answer:

731.25 g

Explanation:

The question asks us to calculate the mass of 12.5 moles of NaCl. The individual relative atomic masses of the elements were supplied. We must first obtain the molar mass of sodium chloride as follows;

Molar mass of sodium chloride= 23.0 + 35.5 = 58.5 gmol-1

From the formula;

Number of moles (n) = mass /molar mass

Number of moles of sodium chloride= 12.5 moles

Mass of sodium = The unknown

Molar mass of sodium chloride= 58.5gmol-1

Mass of sodium chloride= number of moles × molar mass

Mass of sodium chloride= 12.5 × 58.5

Mass of sodium chloride= 731.25 g
