The given question is incomplete, the complete question is:

Lead forms two compounds with oxygen. One contains 2.98g of lead and 0.461g of oxygen. The other contains 9.89g of lead and 0.763g of oxygen. For a given mass of oxygen, what is the lowest whole-number mass ratio of lead in the two compounds that combines with a given mass of oxygen?

Answer:

The lowest whole-number mass ratio in the two compounds is 1:2.

Explanation:

There is a need to find the mole ratio between lead and oxygen atoms in order to find the whole-number mass ratio of lead in the two compounds. In the first compound, the given mass of lead is 2.98 grams, the molar mass of lead is 207.2 gram per mole.  

The no. of moles can be determined by using the formula,  

moles = mass/molecular mass

moles = 2.98 g/207.2 g/mol

= 0.0144 moles

The mass of oxygen in the compound I is 0.461 grams, the molecular mass of oxygen is 16 gram per mol.  

moles = 0.461 g /16 g/mol

= 0.0288 moles

The ratio between the lead and oxygen in the compound I is 0.0144/0.0288 = 1:2

On the other hand, in the compound II, the mass of lead given is 9.89 grams, therefore, the moles of lead in compound II is,  

moles = 9.89 g / 207.2 g/mol

= 0.0477 moles

The mass of oxygen given in compound II is 0.763 grams, the moles of oxygen present in the compound II is,  

moles = 0.763 g / 16 g

= 0.0477 moles

The ratio between the lead and oxygen in the compound II is, 0.0477 moles lead /0.0477 moles oxygen = 1:1

Hence, of the two compounds, the lowest ratio is found in the compound I, that is, 1:2.

Answers:

See attached table

Explanation:

The isotope symbol will have the mass number and chemical symbol.  The atomic number will be equal to the number of protons because the atomic number is the number of protons in an atom.  The electrons will be equal to the protons because the atom is neutral.  The neutrons can be found by subtracting the number of protons from the mass number.  The mass number can be found by adding the protons and neutrons.  It is also in the name of the isotope.

Sometimes you are given a measured amount of two or more reactants and asked how much product can be formed. Explain what steps
Westkost [7]

Explanation:

To solve this problem, follow these steps;

  • Obtain a balanced equation of the reaction and familiarize with the reactants and products.
  • Find the number of moles of the reacting species since they are the known matter in terms of quantity.
  • From the number of moles, determine the limiting reactant.
  • The limiting reactant is the one given in short supply.
  • Such reactant determines the extent of the reaction.
  • Compare the moles of this specie to that of the products using the balanced equation.
  • Obtain the mole of the desired product and find the mass or desired quantity.
  • simply work from the known specie to the unknown

A change in which property of light will have no effect on whether or not the photoelectric effect occurs?
lorasvet [3.4K]

Answer:

intensity

Explanation:

Intensity has no affect on whether or not the photoelectric effect occurs. The determining property is frequency and since frequency and wavelength are inversely proportional, wavelength matters as well

The generic metal a forms an insoluble salt ab(s) and a complex ac5(aq). the equilibrium concentrations in a solution of ac5 wer
Leno4ka [110]

Assuming that the reaction from A and C to AC5 is only one-step (or an elementary reaction) with a balanced chemical reaction of:

<span>A + 5 C  --->  AC5 </span>

Therefore the formation constant can be easily calculated using the following formula for formation constant:

Kf = product of products concentrations / product of reactants concentration

<span>Kf = [AC5] / [A] [C]^5                     </span>

---> Any coefficient from the balanced chemical reaction becomes a power in the formula

Substituting the given values into the equation:

Kf = 0.100 M / (0.100 M) (0.0110 M)^5

Kf = 6,209,213,231

or in simpler terms

<span>Kf = 6.21 * 10^9                  (ANSWER)</span>
