The answer is (3). The number of Sr is the same so if the compound has the smallest gram formula mass, it has the highest percent composition by mass of strontium. So the answer is (3).

Answer: option (3) SrO, with 84.56%

Explanation:

You have to calculate the mass of strontium and the mass of the compound, for each of the four compounds, and compute the percent:

percent of strontium = (mass of strontium / mass of the chemical formula) × 100 %.

These are the atomic masses of the elements that you have to use:

Atomic mass of Sr: 87.62 g/mol

Atomic mass of Cl: 35.453 g/mol

Atomic mass of I: 126.904 g/mol

Atomic mass of O: 15.999 g/mol

Atomic mass of S: 32.065 g/mol

(1) SrCl₂:

i) mass of Sr: 87.62 g/mol

ii) mass of Cl₂: 2×35.453 g/mol = 70.906 g/mol

iii) mass of SrCl₂: 87.62 g/mol + 70.906 g/mol = 158.526 g/mol

iv) Sr % = [87.62 / 158.526 ] × 100 = 55.27%

(2) SrI₂

Following the same procedure:

i) Sr % = [87.62 / (87.62 + 2× 126.904) ] × 100 = 25.66%

(3) SrO

i) Sr % = [87.62 / (87.62 + 15.999) ] × 100 = 84.56%

(4) SrS

i) Sr % = [87.62 / (87.62 + 32.065) ] × 100 = 73.21%

What is the concentration of an alcl3 solution if 150. ml of the solution contains 550. mg of cl- ion?

valina [46]

The concentration of AlCl3 solution if 150 ml of the solution contains 550 mg of cl- ion is 0.0344 M

calculation

concentration = moles /volume in liters

volume in liters = 150 /1000= 0.15 L

number of moles calculation

write the equation for dissociation of Al2Cl3

that is AlCl3 ⇔ Al^3+ + 3 Cl ^-

find the moles of Cl^- formed

moles =mass/molar mass

mass in grams= 550/ 1000 =0.55 grams

molar mass of Cl^- =35.5 g/mol

moles is therefore= 0.55/35.5 =0.0155 moles

by use of mole ration betweem AlCl3 to Cl^- which is 1:3 the moles of AlCl3 is =0.0155 x 1/3= 5.167 x10^-3 moles

concentration of AlCl3 is therefore= 5.167 x10^-3/ 0.15 =0.0344 M

Gala2k [10]

$\text{Ammonia has been studied as an alternative "clean" fuel for internal combustion}$

$\text{engines, since its reaction with oxygen produces only nitrogen and water vapor,}$

$\text{and in the liquid form it is easily transported. An industrial chemist studying this}$

$\text{reaction fills a} \ \mathbf{100 \ L }\ \text{tank with} \ \mathbf{8.6 \ mol} \ \text{of ammonia gas and} \ \mathbf{28 \ mol} \ \ \text{of oxygen gas, }$

$\text{to be} \ \mathbf{2.6\ mol} \ .\ \text{Calculate the concentration equilibrium constant for the combustion of}$

$\text{ammonia at the final temperature of the mixture. Round your answer to 2 significant digits.}$

Answer:

Explanation:

From the correct question above:

The reaction can be represented as:

$\mathbf{4 NH_3_{(g)}+ 3O_{2(g)} \iff 2N_{2(g)}+ 6H_2O_{(g)} }$

From the above reaction; the ICE table can be represented as:

$\mathbf{4 NH_3_{(g)}+ 3O_{2(g)} \iff 2N_{2(g)}+ 6H_2O_{(g)} }$

I (mol/L) 0.086 0.28 0 0

C -4x -3x +2x +6x

E 0.086 - 4x 0.28 - 3x +2x +6x

At equilibrium;

The water vapor = $\dfrac{2.6 \ mol}{100 \ L} = 6x$

$x = \dfrac{2.6}{100} \times \dfrac{1}{6}$

$x = 0.00433$

$\text{equilibrium constant} ({k_c}) = \dfrac{ [N_2]^2 [H_2O]^6 }{ [[NH_3]^4] [O_2]^3 }$

$\implies \dfrac{(2x)^2 (6x)^6}{(0.086-4x)^4\times (0.28-3x)^3} \\ \\$

Replacing the value of x, we have:

$K_c = \dfrac{4 \times 46,656 \times x^8}{(0.086-4x)^4\times (0.28 -3x)^3} \\ \\ K_c = \dfrac{4 \times 46656 \times (0.00433)^8}{(0.06868)^4(0.26701)^3} \\ \\ K_c = \mathbf{5.4446 \times 10^{-8}}$

$K_c = \mathbf{5.5 \times 10^{-8} \ to \ 2 \ significant \ figures}$
