Why are very few 2+ ions formed in a mass spectrometer?

Chemistry
1 answer:
sattari [20]2 years ago
5 0
A mass spectrometer measures the masses of different substances in molecular form by ionizing them. The molecules are identified by observing their movement in electric and magnetic fields. Most of the ions formed carry a charge of +1. This is because it takes a tremendous amount of energy to remove an electron from an atom that is already positive; the remaining electrons are more tightly held in orbit.

How many grams of sulfur must be burned to give 100.0 g of So2
andriy [413]

Answer:

50 g of S are needed

Explanation:

To star this, we begin from the reaction:

S(s) + O₂ (g) →  SO₂ (g)

If we burn 1 mol of sulfur with 1 mol of oxygen, we can produce 1 mol of sulfur dioxide. In conclussion, ratio is 1:1.

According to stoichiometry, we can determine the moles of sulfur dioxide produced.

100 g. 1mol / 64.06g = 1.56 moles

This 1.56 moles were orginated by the same amount of S, according to stoichiometry.

Let's convert the moles to mass

1.56 mol . 32.06g / mol = 50 g

The concentration of hydrogen in soil sample 13 * 10 ^ - 6 * M the soil is tested with a pH meter, what value should the meter r
vovikov84 [41]

Answer:

pH = 4.9

Explanation:

Given data

[H⁺] = 13 × 10⁻⁶ M

The pH is a scale used to determine <em>the acidity or basicity of a solution</em>. The pH is related to the concentration of hydrogen ions through the following expression.

pH = -log [H⁺]

pH = -log 13 × 10⁻⁶

pH = 4.9

Since the pH < 7, the soil is considered to be acid.

What is the definition of to squeeze a gas into a smaller space
ollegr [7]
I think the best word here would be compress. It is to compress that is defined as to squeeze a gas into a smaller space. Compression is the reduction of volume which cause an increase in pressure of the gas. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.

0.2640 g of sodium oxalate is dissolved in a flask and requires 30.74 mL of potassium
Free_Kalibri [48]

Moles of potassium permanganate = 0.0008

<h3>Further explanation  </h3>

Titration is a procedure for determining the concentration of a solution by reacting with another solution which is known to be concentrated (usually a standard solution). Determination of the endpoint/equivalence point of the reaction can use indicators according to the appropriate pH range  

Reaction

5Na2C2O4(aq) + 2KMnO4(aq) + 8H2SO4(aq) ---> 2MnSO4(aq) + K2SO4(aq) + 5Na2SO4(aq) +  10CO2(g) + 8H2O(1)

The end point ⇒titrant and analyte moles equal

titrant : potassium  permanganate-KMnO4

analyte : sodium oxalate - Na2C2O4

so moles of KMnO4 = moles of Na2C2O4

moles of Na2C2O4(mass = 0.2640 g, MW=134 g/mol) :

\tt mol=\dfrac{mass}{MW}\\\\mol=\dfrac{0.264}{134 g/mol}\\\\mol=0.002

From equation, mol ratio  Na2C2O4 : KMnO4 = 5 : 2, so mol KMnO4 :

\tt \dfrac{2}{5}\times 0.002=0.0008
