Chemistry
1 answer:
Triss [41]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

The answer to your question is letter B. Phosphoric acid

Explanation:

A. water is not the right answer because it has a density of 1 g/ml and water is a liquid not a solid.

B. phosphoric acid is the right answer because phosphoric acid is a solid and all solids have a density higher than water (1 g/ml)

C. sodium hydroxide could be the correct answer but it is not because the crystals of sodium hydroxide are more colorless than white.

To demonstrate the formation of iron (iii) chloride from iron fillings
Pavel [41]

Iron (iii) chloride is obtained by vapor condensation from the reaction between chlorine gas and iron fillings.

<h3>How can iron (iii) chloride be formed from iron fillings?</h3>

Iron (ii) chloride can be formed from iron fillings in the laboratory as follows:

  • Iron fillings + Cl₂ → FeCl₃

Chlorine gas is introduced into a reaction vessel containing iron fillings and the iron (iii) chloride vapor formed is obtained by condensation.

In conclusion, iron (iii) chloride is formed by the the direct combination of iron fillings and chlorine gas.

What is the approximate percent by mass of potassium in KHCO3?
lozanna [386]

Answer:

The mass percent of potassium is 39%

Option C is correct

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Atomic mass of K = 39.10 g/mol

Atomic mass of H = 1.01 g/mol

Atomic mass of C = 12.01 g/mol

Atomic mass of O = 16.0 g/mol

Step 2: Calculate molar mass of KHCO3

Molar mass KHCO3 = 39.10 + 12.01 + 1.01 + 3*16.0

Molar mass KHCO3 = 100.12 g/mol

Step 3: Calculate mass percent of potassium (K)

%K = (atomic mass of K / molar mass of KHCO3) * 100%

%K = (39.10 / 100.12) * 100%

%K = 39.05 %

The mass percent of potassium is 39%

Option C is correct

A 65.0-gram sample of some unknown metal at 100.0° C is added to 100.8 grams of water at 22.0° C. The temperature of the water r
vampirchik [111]
We do a heat balance to solve this:
(m cp ΔT)water = -(m cp ΔT)metal
100.8 (4.18) (27 - 22) = -65 (cp)(27-100)
cp = 100.8 (4.18) (27 - 22) / (-65 (27-100))
cp = 0.44 J/ (°C × g)

The specific heat of the metal is 0.44 J/ (°C × g)
