Answer:

A) 54.04%

B) 13-karat

Explanation:

A) From the problem we have

<em>1)</em> Mg + Ms = 9.40 g

<em>2)</em> Vg + Vs = 0.675 cm³

Where M stands for mass, V stands for volume, and g and s stand for gold and silver respectively.

We can rewrite the first equation using the density values:

<em>3)</em> Vg * 19.3 g/cm³ + Vs * 10.5 g/cm³ = 9.40

So now we have<em> a system of two equations</em> (2 and 3) <em>with two unknowns</em>:

We <u>express Vg in terms of Vs</u>:

  • Vg + Vs = 0.675 cm³
  • Vg = 0.675 - Vs

We <u>replace the value of Vg in equation 3</u>:

  • Vg * 19.3 + Vs * 10.5 = 9.40
  • (0.675-Vs) * 19.3 + Vs * 10.5 = 9.40
  • 13.0275 - 19.3Vs + 10.5Vs = 9.40
  • -8.8 Vs + 13.0275 = 9.40
  • <u>Vs = 0.412 cm³</u>

Now we <u>calculate Vg</u>:

  • Vg + Vs = 0.675 cm³
  • Vg + 0.412 cm³ = 0.675 cm³
  • Vg = 0.263 cm³

We <u>calculate Mg from Vg</u>:

  • 0.263 cm³ * 19.3 g/cm³ = 5.08 g

We calculate the mass percentage of gold:

  • 5.08 / 9.40 * 100% = 54.04%

B)

We multiply 24 by the percentage fraction:

  • 24 * 54.04/100 = 12.97-karat ≅ 13-karat

A.Which facilities contribute the most to recycling and the least to recycling based on the pie chart graphic?
nirvana33 [79]

Answer:

a) To determine the facilities that contribute the most to recycling check the pie chart and select the facility with the largest portion while to determine the facilities that contribute the least to recycling check the pie chart and select the facility with the smallest portion

b) Energy is saved because the products which are recycled usually require less energy to turn them into usable materials

c) It saves energy through recycling. It helps sustains the environment. It decrease the emission of green house gases

Explanation:

The question is not complete

a) Pie chart is the graphical representation of information in which the information is represented in a circle. The circle is divided into segments and the portion with the largest segment has the highest percentage.

To determine the facilities that contribute the most to recycling check the pie chart and select the facility with the largest portion while to determine the facilities that contribute the least to recycling check the pie chart and select the facility with the smallest portion

b) Extraction and processing of raw resources to make end products requires a lot of energy.  With recycling energy is saved because the products which are recycled usually require less energy to turn them into usable materials

c) It saves energy through recycling. It helps sustains the environment. It decrease the emission of green house gases.

How many amino acids will be in the polypeptide produced by the normal dna/mrna sequence?
vichka [17]
The number of amino acids that will be in the polypeptide chain produced by the normal DNA or MRNA sequence is usually 30 amino acids. Although the number of amino acids depends on the function of the generated DNA or RNA. The types of amino acids also differ depending on the function.

A volume of 30.0 mL of a 0.140 M HNO3 solution is titrated with 0.570 M KOH. Calculate the volume of KOH required to reach the e
igomit [66]

Answer:

7.37 mL of KOH

Explanation:

So here we have the following chemical formula ( already balanced ), as HNO3 reacts with KOH to form the products KNO3 and H2O. As you can tell, this is a double replacement reaction,

HNO3 + KOH → KNO3 + H2O

Step 1 : The moles of HNO3 here can be calculated through the given molar mass (  0.140 M HNO3 ) and the mL of this nitric acid. Of course the molar mass is given by mol / L, so we would have to convert mL to L.

Mol of NHO3 = 0.140 M * 30 / 1000 L = 0.140 M * 0.03 L = .0042 mol

Step 2 : We can now convert the moles of HNO3 to moles of KOH through dimensional analysis,

0.0042 mol HNO2 * ( 1 mol KOH / 1 mol HNO2 ) = 0.0042 mol KOH

From the formula we can see that there is 1 mole of KOH present per 1 moles of HNO2, in a 1 : 1 ratio. As expected the number of moles of each should be the same,

Step 3 : Now we can calculate the volume of KOH knowing it's moles, and molar mass ( 0.570 M ).

Volume of KOH = 0.0042 mol * ( 1 L / 0.570 mol ) * ( 1000 mL / 1 L ) = 7.37 mL of KOH

Combustion analysis of 63.8 mg of a c, h and o containing compound produced 145.0 mg of co2 and 59.38 mg of h2o. what is the emp
Makovka662 [10]
<span>: The empirical formula for the compound is C3H60 (see below) CO2 is the only product containing C, C produced = 145.0 mg CO2 x (1 g / 1000 mg) x (1 mole CO2 / 44.0 g CO2) x (1 mole C / 1 mole CO2) = 0.00330 moles C. H2O is the only product containing H, H produced = 59.38 mg H2O x (1 g / 1000 mg) x (1 mole H2O / 18.0 g H2O) x (2 moles H / 1 mole H2O) = 0.00660 moles H. Oxygen is in both and the unknown reacts with oxygen(in the air) 0.00330 moles C x (12.0 g C / 1 mole C) = 0.0396 g C = 39.6 mg C 0.00660 moles H x (1.01 g H / 1 mole H) = 0.00667 g H = 6.7 mg H Because the unknown weighed 63.8 mg and consists off justC, H, and O, then mass O = g unknown - g C - g H = 63.8 mg - 39.6 mg - 6.7 mg = 17.5 mg = 0.0175 g 0.0175 g O x (1 mole O / 16.0 g O) = 0.00109 moles O The mole ratio of C:H:O is: C = 0.00330 H = 0.00660 O = 0.00109 Divide by the smallest you get: C = 0.00330 / 0.00109 = 3.03 H = 0.00660 / 0.00109 = 6.06 O = 0.00109 / 0.00109 = 1.00</span>
