Answer:

4.78 %.

Explanation:

mass percent is the ratio of the mass of the solute to the mass of the solution multiplied by 100.

mass % = (mass of solute/mass of solution) x 100.

mass of MgSO₄ = 50.0 g,

mass of water = d.V = (0.997 g/mL)(1000.0 mL) = 997.0 g.

mass of the solution = mass of water + mass of MgSO₄ = 997.0 g + 50.0 g = 1047.0 g.

∴ mass % = (mass of solute/mass of solution) x 100 = (50.0 g/1047.0 g) x 100 = 4.776 % ≅ 4.78 %.

What is the volume of 0.80 grams of o2 gas at stp? (5 points) group of answer choices 0.59 liters 0.56 liters 0.50 liters 0.47 l

Vladimir [108]

Answer:

0.56L

Explanation:

This question requires the Ideal Gas Law: $PV=nRT$ where P is the pressure of the gas, V is the volume of the gas, n is the number of moles of the gas, R is the Ideal Gas constant, and T is the Temperature of the gas.

Since all of the answer choices are given in units of Liters, it will be convenient to use a value for R that contains "Liters" in its units: $R=0.0821\frac{L\cdot atm}{mol\cdot K}$

Since the conditions are stated to be STP, we must remember that STP is Standard Temperature Pressure, which means $T=273.15K$ and $P=1atm$

Lastly, we must calculate the number of moles of $O_2(g)$ there are. Given 0.80g of $O_2(g)$ , we will need to convert with the molar mass of $O_2(g)$ . Noting that there are 2 oxygen atoms, we find the atomic mass of O from the periodic table (16g/mol) and multiply by 2: $32g\text{ }O_2=1mol\text{ }O_2$

Thus, $\frac{0.80g \text{ }O_2}{1} \frac{1mol\text{ }O_2}{32g\text{ }O_2}=0.25mol\text{ }O_2=n$

Isolating V in the Ideal Gas Law:

$PV=nRT$

$V=\frac{nRT}{P}$

...substituting the known values, and simplifying...

$V=\frac{(0.025 mol \text{ }O_2)(0.0821\frac{L\cdot atm}{mol \cdot K} )(273.15K)}{(1atm)}$

$V=0.56L \text{ } O_2$

So, 0.80g of $O_2(g)$ would occupy 0.56L at STP.

Explain how you would find the mass percent of each element in water.

nydimaria [60]

Answer:

finding the mass percentage oven element in a compound might sound complicated, but the calculation is simple. For example, to determine the mass percentage of hydrogen in water H2O, divide the major mass of hydrogen by the total molar mass of water and then multiply the result by 100

How many moles of electrons are required to reduce one mole of MnO4- to one mole of Mn2+? (2 points)

Dafna1 [17]

The answer would be 6 e-. This is becuase you are turning a charge of -4 into a +2. In order to do this, you transfer 4 electrons for a neutral charge, and an additional 2 for a charge of +2.

This makes a total charge of +2, and the total transferred electrons 6 e-

What is the molarity of a solution of sulfuric acid if 49.0 mL of it are neutralized by a titration

vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

THE MOLARITY OF THE ACID IS 0.232M

Explanation:

Molarity is the number of moles of solute per liter of a solution.

In titration, the molarity of the acid and the molarity of the base are related by this equation:

Ca VA / CbVb = na / nb

Ca = concentration of the acid = ?

Va = volume of the acid = 49 mL

Cb = concentration of the base = 0.333M

Vb = volume of the base = 68.4mL

Na = number of mole of acid = 1

Nb = number of mole of base = 2

Equation for the reaction:

H2SO4 + 2NaOH --------> Na2SO4 + 2H2O

Solving for the molarity of the acid, we have :

Ca = CbVbNa / VaNb

Ca = 0.333M * 68.4mL * 1 / 49mL *2

Ca = 22.7772 * 10^-3 / 98 *10^-3

Ca = 0.232M

The molarity of the acid is therefore 0.232M.
