The thin outer layer of Earth, called the crust, contains only 0.50 percent of Earth's total mass and yet is the source of almos

t all the elements (the atmosphere provides elements such as oxygen, nitrogen, and a few other gases). Silicon (Si) is the second most abundant element in Earth's crust (27.2 percent by mass). Calculate the mass of silicon in kilograms in Earth's crust (mass of Earth 5.9 x 10^21 tons; 1 ton= 2000lb; 1lb =453.6 g).

Answer:

The mass of silicon in kilograms in Earth's crust is7.2729\times 10^{21} kg.

Explanation:

Mass of Earth =5.9\times 10^{21} tons

(1 ton= 2000 lb)

(1 lb =453.6 g)

1 ton = 2000 × 453.6 g =907,200 g

Mass of Earth =5.9\times 10^{21}\times 907,200 g=5.3524\times 10^{27} g

Percentage of earth crust = 0.50%

Mass of earth crust = M

0.50\%=\frac{M}{5.3524\times 10^{27}}\times 100

M=2.6762\times 10^{25} g

Percentage of the silicon in Earth's crust = 27.2 %

Mass of silicon in in Earth's crust = m

Si\%=\frac{m}{M}\times 100

27.2\%=\frac{m}{2.6762\times 10^{25} g}\times 100

m = 7.2792\times 10^{24} g=7.2729\times 10^{21} kg

1000 g = 1 kg

The mass of silicon in kilograms in Earth's crust is7.2729\times 10^{21} kg.

Determine the empirical formula of a compound containing 1.71 g of silicon and 8.63 g of chlorine.
Basile [38]

Answer:

The answer to your question is: SiCl₄

Explanation:

Data

amount of Si      1.71 g

amount of Cl     8.63 g

MW Si = 28 g

MW Cl = 35.5

Process (rule of three)

For Si                                                        For Cl

        28 g of Si ------------------ 1 mol                      35.5 g of Cl --------------- 1 mol

          1.71g of Si  ---------------   x                              8.63 g of Cl --------------  x

         x = 1.71 x 1 / 28 = 0.06 mol                          x = 8.63 x 1 / 35.5 = 0.24 mol

Now, divide both results by the lowest of them.

Si = 0.06 mol / 0.06 = 1 molecule of Si     Cl = 0.24 / 0.06 = 4 molecules of Cl

Finally

                     Si₁ Cl₄ or SiCl₄

In the following reaction, how many grams of silver can be produced from 49.1 g copper?
notsponge [240]

166.4 g Ag grams of silver can be produced from 49.1 g of copper.

<h3>What is a mole?</h3>

A mole is a very important unit of measurement that chemists use. A mole of something means you have 602,214,076,000,000,000,000,000 of that thing, like how having a dozen eggs means you have twelve eggs.

1 mol Cu + 2 mol AgNO_3 → 2 mol Ag + 1 mol Cu(NO3)2

63.55 g Cu —> 2 x 107.688 g Ag

63.55 g Cu gives 215.376 g of Ag

So, 49.1 g Cu —> \frac{215.376 g X 49.1 g}{63.55 g}

= 166.4 g Ag

Hence, 166.4 g Ag grams of silver can be produced from 49.1 g of copper.
