Answer:

C. 70%

Explanation:

Atomic Mass of the silicon = 28 g.

Atomic mass of the Carbon = 12 g.

Total mass of the Silicon Carbide = 28 + 12

= 40 g.

Now, Using the formula.

% Composition = Mass of the silicon/Total mass of the compound × 100 %

= 28/40 × 100 %

= 70 %

Hence, % composition of the silicon in SiC is 70%

How many moles of water are produced if 5.43 mol PbO2 are consumed?<br><br> ANSWER: 10.9
Arada [10]

Answer: 10.9 mol.

Explanation:

  • To understand how to solve this problem, we must mention the reaction equation where water produced from PbO₂.

Pb + PbO₂ + 2H₂SO₄ → 2PbSO₄ + 2H₂O

  • Now, it is a stichiometric oriented problem, that 1 mole of PbO₂ produces 2 moles of H₂O.

Using cross multiplication:

1.0 mole of PbO₂ → 2.0 moles of H₂O

5.43 moles of PbO₂ → ??? moles of water

The moles of water produced = (5.43 x 2.0) = 10.86 moles ≅ 10.9 moles.

The bonds in the compound MgSO4 can be described asA. ionic, onlyB. covalent, onlyC. both ionic and covalentD. neither ionic nor
Galina-37 [17]
I believe the answer is C. The bonds in the compound magnesium sulfate is ionic and covalent. Magnesium sulfate is soluble in water. When the said compound is dissolved in water, it dissociates into magnesium ions and sulfate ions. However, the bonds that held together the sulfate ions is covalent.

A solution contains 15.27 grams of NaCl in 0.670 kg water at 25 °C. What is the vapor pressure of the solution?
Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer:

The vapor pressure of the solution is 23.636 torr

Explanation:

P_{solution} = X_{solvent}*P_{solvent}

Where;

P_{solution is the vapor pressure of the solution

X_{solvent is the mole fraction of the solvent

P_{solvent is the vapor pressure of the pure solvent

Thus,

15.27 g of NaCl = [(15.27)/(58.5)]moles = 0.261 moles of NaCl

0.67 kg of water =  [(0.67*1000)/(18)]moles = 37.222 moles of H₂O

Mole fraction of solvent (water) = (number of moles of water)/(total number of moles present in solution)

Mole fraction of solvent (water) = (37.222)/(37.222+0.261)

Mole fraction of solvent (water) = 0.993

<u>Note:</u> the vapor pressure of water at 25°C is 0.0313 atm

Therefore, the vapor pressure of the solution = 0.993 * 0.0313 atm

the vapor pressure of the solution = 0.0311 atm = 23.636 torr
