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%

Answer:

from the ideal gas law, P2 /P1 = T2 /T1 for the same volume and quantity of gas. P2 = (758 mmHg) (45 +273 K) / (15 +273K) = 837 mmHg.

Lead(II) nitrate is added slowly to a solution that is 0.0800 M in Cl− ions. Calculate the concentration of Pb2+ ions (in mol /

barxatty [35]

Answer:

$[Pb^{2+}]=3.9 \times 10^{-2}M$

this is the concentration required to initiate precipitation

Explanation:

$PbCl_2$ ⇄ $Pb^{2+}+2Cl^-$

Precipitation starts when ionic product is greater than solubility product.

Ip>Ksp

Precipitation starts only when solution is supersaturated because solution become supersaturated then it does not stay in this form and precipitation starts itself only solution become saturated.

This usually happens when two solutions containing separate sources of cation and anion are mixed together and here also we are mixing lead (||)nitrate solution(source of lead(||)) into the Cl- solution.

$Ip=[Pb^{2}][2Cl^-]^2=Ksp$
