Why do helium-filled balloons float in air?

Chemistry

A helium balloon displaces the amount of air. The weight of the helium in the balloon + the balloon fabric = lighter than the air that it displaces. Helium is lighter than air, so therefore, if it's in a balloon, the balloon will float.

The helium balloon displaces an amount of air. As long as the weight of the helium plus the balloon fabric is lighter than the air it displaces, the balloon will float in the air. It turns out helium is a lot lighter than air.

zysi [14]
            <span> Mg(OH)2(s) + 2HCl(aq) yield MgCl2(aq) + 2H2O(l)

grams HCl required = (50.6 grams Mg(OH)2) * (1 mol Mg(OH)2 / 58.3197 grams Mg(OH)2) * (2 mol HCl / 1 mol Mg(OH)2) * (36.453 grams HCl / 1 mol HCl) = 63.26 grams HCl required

Since there are only 45.0 grams HCl, then HCl is the limiting reactant.

theoretical yield MgCl2 = (45.0 grams HCl) * (1 mol HCl / 36.453 grams HCl) * (1 mol MgCl2 / 2 mol HCl) * (95.211 grams MgCl2 / 1 mol MgCl2) = 58.6 grams MgCl2 </span>

a 1.912 g samplw of calcium chloride is decomposed and found to contain 0.690 g of Ca and 1.222 g of Cl. Calculate the mass perc
adoni [48]

Answer:

36.09% is the mass percent composition of calcium in calcium chloride

Explanation:

Mass percent is defined as one hundred times the ratio between the mass of a compound (In this case, Calcium), and the total mass of the sample:

<em>Mass Percent = Mass compound / Total mass of the sample × 100</em>

<em />

Computing the values of the problem:

Mass Percent = 0.690g / 1.912g * 100

Mass percent =

A 2.684-g sample of zinc oxide was reduced by hydrogen gas, resulting in 2. 156 g of pure zinc metal. Determine the empirical fo
Afina-wow [57]

The empirical formula of the initial zinc oxide is ZnO.

<h3>What is Empirical Formula?</h3>

The empirical formula of a compound represents the ratios of elements in a compound but not the actual numbers or arrangement of the atoms.

It is the lowest whole number ratio of the element in the compound.

<h3>How to find out the empirical formula?</h3>
  • Find out the given masses and molar masses of the elements

The molar mass of Zn = 65 gmol⁻¹

Given the mass of Zn = 2.156 g

The molar mass of Oxygen = 16 gmol⁻¹

The mass of Oxygen = Mass of a sample of zinc oxide - the mass of zinc metal

                                   = (2.684 - 2.156) g

                                   = 0.528 g

  • Find the number of moles of the elements in the compound

The number of moles is given by

n = \frac{m}{M}

where m = given mass and

M = Molar mass

Number of moles of Zinc = \frac{2.156}{65} = 0.033 moles

Number of moles of Oxygen =\frac{0.528}{16} = 0.033 moles

  • Find the simplest ratios of the elements in the compound. To find the ratios simply divide the number of moles by the lowest number of moles obtained.

Here, the number of moles is the same for both elements. Hence, the simplest ratio for Zn:O is 1:1.

Therefore, the empirical formula of zinc oxide is ZnO.

A substance with a pH of 10 is how much more basic than a substance with a pH of 2?
Kazeer [188]

Answer:

The same holds true for pH values above 7, each of which is ten times more alkaline (another way to say basic) than the next lower whole value. For example, pH 10 is ten times more alkaline than pH 9 and 100 times (10 times 10) more alkaline than pH 8.
