The three substances add up to 105% instead of 100%. Also, <span>the amount of either one of those compounds is more than according to the Stoichiometry of the reaction, meaning one of those compounds is in excess. </span>

<u>Answer:</u> The composition of the unknown mixture is more than 100 %, which is not possible.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Composition of a mixture is defined as the sum of the amount of substances that are present in the mixture. The maximum composition of a mixture can be 100 %

We are given:

Composition of ammonium chloride in the mixture = 25 %

Composition of sodium chloride in the mixture = 30 %

Composition of silicon oxide in the mixture = 50 %

Composition of mixture = (25 + 30 + 50) = 105 %

As, the measured value of unknown mixture is more than the true value which is 100 %. Thus, the error lies here only.

Hence, the composition of the unknown mixture is more than 100 %, which is not possible.

How many neutrons are in lithuim-8
irinina [24]

Answer:

5 neutrons

Explanation:

There five isotopes of lithium. The most stable and abundant is lithium-7.

Its percentage is 92.5%. It has four neutrons. All lithium isotopes have same atomic number but different atomic mass because of different number of neutrons.

Lithium-8 have five neutrons.

Lithium-9 have six neutrons.

Lithium-11 have eight neutrons.

Lithium-4 has one neutron.

Lithium is alkali metal.

It is present in 1st group.

Its atomic number is 3.

Its atomic mass is 7 amu.

Lithium salts are used in psychiatric medicine.

there is an ice cream shop 6 blocks north of your hotel. how many minutes will it take to walk there and back
Allushta [10]

Answer:

This question is incomplete

Explanation:

This question is incomplete.

However, when all the required data are available, you can use the formula/steps below

Average speed/velocity (m/s) = distance (in metres) ÷ time (in seconds)

Time (in secs) = distance ÷ average speed/velocity

Kindly note that "blocks" is not a standard unit for distance measurement in science, hence the distance (since its a walking distance) must be in metres (or converted to metres if not in metres).

The distance in the formula is the distance from the hotel to the ice cream shop while the average speed is the distance covered per time as s/he walks to the ice cream shop and back. Hence, the answer gotten from the formula above will have to be multiplied by 2 (in order to get the time taken to walk to the ice cream shop and back) because the formula will only provide answer to one trip (time taken to walk to the shop).

After the multiplication mentioned above, the time in seconds should be converted to minutes by dividing the answer in seconds by 60

3. The number of electrons and neutrons in an atom are 13 and 14, respectively. Find out the mass number, atomic number, valency
QveST [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

3. The number of electrons and neutrons in an atom are 13 and 14, respectively. Find out the mass number, atomic number, valency, and symbol of the element.

For a neutral atom. number of protons =number of electrons=13

so since atomic number is the number of protons =13

mass number = protons + neutons =14+13 = 27

atomic number 13 is Aluminum (AL-(see periodic table)

The electronic structure for 13 electrons is 1s2s2p63s23p1

so Al has 3 electrons which are VALIENT and can react and when it loses the 3 it will have  CHARGE OF +3
