Atoms of Ca and S would be expected to react in a ratio of<br> A) 1:1<br> B) 1:2<br> C)2:1<br> D)3:1

VMariaS [17]

Answer:

Option A = 1:1

Explanation:

The atoms of calcium and sulphur when react their ration is 1:1. The charge on calcium is +2 and on sulphur is -2.

Ca⁺²S⁻²

The +2 and -2 charges are cancel out and overall charge will be zero.

CaS

so their atomic ratio will be 1:1

The experiment above is repeated, but instead of extracting once with 6 mL the extraction is done three times with 2 mL of dichl

Complete Question

A student is extracting caffeine from water with dichloromethane. The K value is 4.6. If the student starts with a total of 40 mg of caffeine in 2 mL of water and extracts once with 6 mL of dichloromethane

The experiment above is repeated, but instead of extracting once with 6 mL the extraction is done three times with 2 mL of dichloromethane each time. How much caffeine will be in each dichloromethane extract?

Answer:

The mass of caffeine extracted is $P = 39.8 \ mg$

Explanation:

From the question above we are told that

The K value is $K = 4.6$

The mass of the caffeine is $m = 40 mg$

The volume of water is $V = 2 mL$

The volume of caffeine is $v_c = 2 mL$

The number of times the extraction was done is n = 3

Generally the mass of caffeine that will be extracted is

$P = m * [\frac{V}{K * v_c + V} ]^3$

substituting values

$P = 40 * [\frac{2}{4.6 * 2 + 2} ]^3$

$P = 39.8 \ mg$

How many electrons does nitrogen (N) need to gain to have a stable outer electron shell

earnstyle [38]

It need "3 electrons" to have a stable electronic configuration.

'cause it has 5 electrons in it's outer shell & every atom needs 8 electrons. So, it requires 3 more!

Hope this helps!

4 NH3(g) + 5O2(g) → 4NO(g) + 6H2O(g)

Mariulka [41]

Answer:

0.9 moles of water

Explanation:

Use mole ratios:

5 : 6

divide by 5 on both sides

1 : 1.2

multiply by 0.75 on both sides

0.75 : 0.9

So the result is 0.9 moles of water

(Please correct me if I'm wrong)
