Answer:

The Columbus Day Storm of 1962 (also known as the Big Blow,[2] and originally as Typhoon Freda) was a Pacific Northwest windstorm that struck the West Coast of Canada and the Pacific Northwest coast of the United States on October 12, 1962. It is considered the benchmark of extratropical wind storms. The storm ranks among the most intense to strike the region since at least 1948, likely since the January 9, 1880 "Great Gale" and snowstorm. The storm is a contender for the title of most powerful extratropical cyclone recorded in the U.S. in the 20th century; with respect to wind velocity, it is unmatched by the March 1993 "Storm of the Century" and the "1991 Halloween Nor'easter" ("The Perfect Storm"). The system brought strong winds to the Pacific Northwest and southwest Canada, and was linked to 46 fatalities in the northwest and Northern California resulting from heavy rains and mudslides.

For each ionic compound formula, identify the main group to which X belongs: (c) X2SO4.

Zinaida [17]

The answer is group 1A.

In the ionic compound formula X₂SO₄, SO₄ has a -2 charge. Hence to balance this -2 charge of SO₄, X must have a +1 charge.

Group 1A elements form X⁺ type of ions because they are metals. So, they have the tendency to lose electrons.

Hence, X must belong to the 1A group.

Ionic Compounds-

Ionic compounds are formed by the electrostatic attraction between the anions and the cations.
Cations are positively charged ions that are formed due to the loss of electrons.
And the anions are negatively charged ions that are formed due to the gain of electrons.
Due to this, they have opposite charges and form bonds known as Ionic Bond.

A copper atom has a mass of 1 06 times 10^-22 g and a penny has a mass of 2.5 g. Use this information to answer the questions be

amm1812

Answer:

Mass of 1 mole of copper is 63.83 g.

0.03916 moles of copper atoms have a mass equal to the 2.5 grams of copper penny.

Explanation:

Mass of 1 copper atom,m = $1.06\times 10^{-22} g$

$1 mole = 6.022\times 10^{23} atoms$

Mass of 1 mole of copper :

= $6.022\times 10^{23} atoms\times 1.06\times 10^{-22} g=63.83 g$

Mass of 1 mole of copper = 63.83 g

Mass of copper penny = 2.5 g

Atomic mass of copper = 63.83 g/mol

Moles of copper in 2.5 g of copper penny:

$\frac{2.5 g}{63.83 g/mol}=0.03916 mol$

0.03916 moles of copper atoms have a mass equal to the 2.5 grams of copper penny.

Answer:

The percent composition of this compound is 94%

Explanation:

The reaction can be formed as

$2 \mathrm{Fe}+3 \mathrm{Cl}_{2} \rightarrow 2 \mathrm{FeCl}_{3}$

$\frac{\text { Weight of } \mathrm{Cl}_{2}}{\text { 3* Molar Mass of } \mathrm{Cl}_{2}}=\frac{\text { Weight of } \mathrm{Fe}}{2 * \text { Molar Mass of Fe }}$

$\frac{\text { Weight of } \mathrm{Cl}_{2}}{3 *(2 * 35.5)}=\frac{3.56}{2 * 55.8}$

$\text { Weight of } C l_{2}=\frac{3.56 * 3 * 71}{2 * 55.8}=6.79 \mathrm{g}$

$\mathrm{n}\left(\mathrm{Cl}_{2}\right)=\mathrm{m}\left(\mathrm{Cl}_{2}\right) / \mathrm{M}\left(\mathrm{Cl}_{2}\right)=6.79 / 71=0.1 \mathrm{m}$

$\mathrm{n}(\mathrm{Fe})=\mathrm{m}(\mathrm{Fe}) / \mathrm{M}(\mathrm{Fe})=3.56 / 55.8=0.06 \mathrm{m}$

Based on no. of iron reacted,

$\mathrm{n}(\text { moles of } \mathrm{Fe})=\mathrm{n}\left(\text { moles of } \mathrm{FeCl}_{3}\right)$

n = m/M

$\mathrm{m}\left(\mathrm{FeCl}_{3}\right)=\mathrm{n}^{*} \mathrm{M}=0.06^{*} 162.5=9.75 \mathrm{g}$

% composition of $FeCl_3$

= $(9.75 / 10.39)^{*} 100$

= 94%
