A solution contains an unknown mass of dissolved barium ions. When sodium sulfate is added to the solution, a white precipitate

forms. The precipitate is filtered and dried and then found to have a mass of 236 mg. What mass of barium was in the original solution? (Assume that all of the barium was precipitated out of solution by the reaction.)

Answer:

0.1388 g

Explanation:

The mass of BaSO_4 obtained on precipitation = 236 mg

1 mg = 0.001 g

Thus, Mass of BaSO_4 = 0.236 g

Molar mass of BaSO_4 = 233.43 g/mol

The formula for the calculation of moles is shown below:

moles = \frac{Mass\ taken}{Molar\ mass}

Thus,

Moles= \frac{0.236\ g}{233.43\ g/mol}

Moles of BaSO_4 = 0.001011 moles

According to the reaction,

Ba^{2+}+SO_4{2-}\rightarrow BaSO_4

Thus, moles of barium = 0.001011 moles

Molar mass of barium = 137.327 g/mol

Thus, Mass = Moles * Molar mass = 0.001011*137.327 g = 0.1388 g

What mass of hydrogen contains the same number of atoms as 7.00 g of nitrogen
Leto [7]
Molecular mass of nitrogen, N2 = 2*14 = 28
molecular mass of hydrogen, H2=2*1 = 2

Molecules of both elements contain 2 atoms, so the ratio of molecules is the same as the ratio of atoms.

From the molecular masses above, 
ratio of number of molecules = ratio of molecular masses, therefore
7g N2 : x g H2 = 28:2
cross multiply:
x=7*2/28=0.5 g of Hydrogen has the same number of atoms as 7 g of nitrogen (at room temperatures)

VikaD [51]

Imagine a chemist is in the lab and trying to make some chemical reactions happen. In one reaction she reacts chemicals in an exothermic reaction and there is an increase in entropy. A second chemical reaction she is trying to run is endothermic and there is a decrease in entropy. Which of the two reactions is more likely to occur and why?

which state of matter is made up of atoms and molecules that are held closely together by attractive forces between them
Amiraneli [1.4K]

Answer:

In solid state all the atoms and molecules are held very closely together by strong attractive forces.

Explanation:

Solids have definite volume and shape.

In solids molecules are tightly pack and very close to each other.

Their melting and boiling point are every high.

The densities of solids are also very high as compared to the liquid and gas.

There are very strong inter molecular forces are present between solid molecules.

Consider the example of water. Which is present in three state solid, liquid and gas. In the form of ice its volume is less as compared to the liquid and gas, because molecules are tightly packed. If we melt the same ice we observe the volume is increase because molecules are now apart from each other. The distance between the molecules of water increased. If the same amount of water is evaporated the molecule of water will occupy all available space , and the distance between the water molecules get increased and inter molecular forces becomes negligible.
