A 5.000 g mixture contains strontium nitrate and potassium bromide. Excess lead(II) nitrate solution is added to precipitate out

scZoUnD [109]

Answer: The mass percent of potassium bromide in the mixture is 9.996%

Explanation:

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$ .....(1)

For lead (II) bromide:

Given mass of lead (II) bromide = 0.7822 g

Molar mass of lead (II) bromide = 367 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\text{Moles of lead (II) bromide}=\frac{0.7822g}{367g/mol}=0.0021mol$

The chemical equation for the reaction of lead (II) nitrate and potassium bromide follows:

$2KBr+Pb(NO_3)_2\rightarrow PbBr_2+2KNO_3$

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

1 mole of lead (II) bromide is produced from 2 moles of potassium bromide

So, 0.0021 moles of lead (II) bromide will be produced from = $\frac{2}{1}\times 0.0021=0.0042mol$ of potassium bromide

Now, calculating the mass of potassium bromide by using equation 1, we get:

Molar mass of KBr = 119 g/mol

Moles of KBr = 0.0042 moles

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$0.0042mol=\frac{\text{Mass of KBr}}{119g/mol}\\\\\text{Mass of KBr}=0.4998g$

To calculate the percentage composition of KBr in the mixture, we use the equation:

$\%\text{ composition of KBr}=\frac{\text{Mass of KBr}}{\text{Mass of mixture}}\times 100$

Mass of mixture = 5.000 g

Mass of KBr = 0.4998 g

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\%\text{ composition of KBr}=\frac{0.4998g}{5.000g}\times 100=9.996\%$

Hence, the percent by mass of KBr in the mixture is 9.996 %

_____Mg + ____Fe2O3 → _____Fe + ____MgO

german

Answer:

3Mg + Fe₂O₃ → 2 Fe + 3MgO

Explanation:

Chemical equation;

Mg + Fe₂O₃ → Fe + MgO

Balanced Chemical equation;

3Mg + Fe₂O₃ → 2Fe + 3MgO

This is the balanced equation. There are three magnesium, two iron and three oxygen atoms are on both side of equation thus it follow the law of conservation of mass.

Law of conservation of mass:

According to the law of conservation mass, mass can neither be created nor destroyed in a chemical equation.

This law was given by french chemist Antoine Lavoisier in 1789. According to this law mass of reactant and mass of product must be equal, because masses are not created or destroyed in a chemical reaction.

Consider the reaction of CaCN2 and water to produce CaCO3 and NH3 according to the reaction CaCN2 + 3H2O → CaCO3 + 2 NH3 . How m

adelina 88 [10]

Answer:

56 g. Option 3.

Explanation:

The reaction is: CaCN₂ + 3H₂O → CaCO₃ + 2 NH₃

1 mol of calcium cianide reacts with 3 moles of water in order to produce 1 mol of calcium carbonate and 2 moles of ammonia

We have the mass of each reactant, so let's convert the mass to moles:

45 g. 1mol / 80.08 g = 0.562 moles of cianide

45 g. 1mol / 18 g = 2.5 moles of water

The cianide is the limiting reactant:

3 moles of water need 1 mol of cianide to react

Then, 2.5 moles of water will need (2.5 . 1)/ 3 = 0.833 moles

As we have 0.562 moles of CN⁻ we don't have enough

We can work now, on the reaction:

Ratio is 1:1. Therefore 0.562 moles of cianide will produce 0.562 moles of carbonate

Let's convert the mass to moles to find the answer:

0.562 mol . 100.08 g / 1 mol = 56.2 g
