Answer:

2 litres of pure alcohol will be added to make the overall concentration of 9 litres of mixture as 30%.

Explanation:

Suppose x is the number of litres added to the 10% mixture than the quantity of new mixture is given as below

  • n_{old}=7 litres
  • n_{new}=7+x litres

Also the quantity of alcohol is given as

  • q_{old}=10 \% \, of \, 7 \, litres =0.7
  • q_{added}=x
  • q_{new}= 30 \% \,of \,new\, quantity = 0.3(7+x)

Now the equation is as

                                  q_{old}+q_{added}=q_{new}\\0.7+x=0.3(7+x)\\0.7+x=2.1+0.3x\\x-0.3x=2.1-0.7\\0.7x=1.4\\x=2 \, litres

So 2 litres of pure alcohol will be added to make the overall concentration of 9 litres of mixture as 30%.

What is the mass of 3.0 x x times 10^23 atoms of neon?
Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

10.09 grams

Explanation:

First you need to know the number of moles you are dealing with.

If you know that each mole has 6.022x10²³ of something (in this case of atoms), you can divide 3x10²³ atoms of neons by 6.022x10²³ to obtain the number of moles.

You have 0.5 moles of Neon, so then by the periodic table, you see that the molar mass of neon is 20.18g/mol, so by each mole you have 20.18 grams of neon. Multiply 20.18 grams by 0.5 moles and you got 10.09 grams of Neon

what is the kinetic energy of the emitted electrons when cesium is exposed to uv rays of frequency 1.4×1015hz?
Anika [276]
<span>The equation you used is KE=hv-hv0, where h=6.63*10^-34 (constant). You multiply h by 1.5*10^15. Multiply h by the threshold freq of cesium (from part A). Subtract the second answer from the first answer, and you get the kinetic energy. Hope this helps.</span>

<u>Concepts used:</u>

1 mole of an element or a compound has 6.022 * 10²³ formula units

So, we can say that: <em>Number of formula units = number of moles * 6.022*10²³</em>

number of moles of an element or a compound = given mass/molar mass

<u>__________________________________________________________</u>

<u>003 - </u><u>Number of CaH₂ formula units in 6.065 grams</u>

Number of Moles:

We know that the molar mass of CaH₂ is 42 grams/mol

Number of Moles of CaH₂ = given mass/molar mass

Number of moles = 6.065 / 42

Number of moles = 0.143 moles

Number of Formula units:

Number of formula units = number of moles * 6.022*10²³

= 0.143 * 6.022 * 10²³

= 0.86 * 10²³ formula units

__________________________________________________________

<u>004 </u><u>- Mass of 6.34 * 10²⁴ formula units of NaBF₄</u>

Number of Moles:

We mentioned this formula before:

<em>Number of formula units = number of moles * 6.022*10²³</em>

Solving it for number of moles, we get:

Number of moles = Number of Formula units / 6.022* 10²³

replacing the variable

Number of moles = 6.34 * 10²⁴ / 6.022*10²³

Number of moles=  10.5 moles

Mass of 10.5 moles of NaBF₄:

Molar mass of NaBF₄ = 38 grams/mol

Mass of 10.5 moles = 10.5 * molar mass

Mass of 10.5 moles = 10.5 * 38

Mass = 399 grams

__________________________________________________________

<u>005</u><u> - Number of moles in 9.78 * 10²¹ formula units of CeI₃</u>

Number of Moles:

We have the formula:

Number of moles = Number of Formula units / 6.022* 10²³

replacing the variables

Number of Moles = 9.78 * 10²¹ / 6.022*10²³

Number of Moles = 1.6 / 10²

Number of Moles = 1.6 * 10⁻² moles   OR   0.016 moles
