Total mass = x

It would be: x*32.38/100 = 32

x = 3200/32.38 = 97.56

Atomic mass of (OH)2 = 34

So, remaining mass = 97.56-34 = 63.56

which is approximately equal to mass of copper

So, we can say m is copper here, and formula of the compound would be Cu(OH)2

In this Punnett square, what is the probability of the offspring being a heterozygous purple flower

olya-2409 [2.1K]

Heterozygous means A capital P with a lowercase p. There are two purple flowers in the Punnett square with Pp out of 4 possible options. 2/4 is 1/2 which is 50%. So there is a 50% chance of a purple heterozygous flower.

What is the concentration of Htions at a pH = 11?

Lostsunrise [7]

Answer:
a) 1 x 10^-11 mol/L
b) 1 x 10^-6 mol/L
c) 1 x 10^-5 fewer H+ ions

Explanation

pH stands for Power of Hydrogen, the more acidic a substance is, the more H+ ions it has rendering the substance acidic. a pH of 1 means the concentration of H+ ions is 1 x 10^-1. A pH of 7 means the concentration of H+ ions is 1 x 10^-7 and so on.

10^-11 has 10^-5 more H+ ions than 10^-6

Hope this helps :)

How many moles of silicon are in 5.9 X 10 to the 24 power atoms of silicon

Dimas [21]

Answer:

9.79740949850 moles

Explanation:

1 mole = Avogardo's Number <<6.022 E 23 <<particles, atoms, etc.>>
This problem can be solved using dimensional analysis by multiplying atoms (5.9E24 atoms) by (1) mole and then dividing the number by Avogardo's number (6.022 E 23 atoms).
Note: E = * 10

Side Note: Please let me know if you need any clarifications about this!
