The balanced equation will read:

Pb(NO3)2 (aq) + LiSO4 (aq) ➡️ PbSO4 (s) + 2️⃣LiNO3 (aq)

have a great day!!

<u>Answer:</u> The coefficient '2' must be added in front of $LiNO_3$ to form a balanced equation.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Every balanced chemical equation follows law of conservation of mass.

This law states that mass can neither be created nor be destroyed but it can only be transformed from one form to another form. The total number of individual atoms on the reactant side must be equal to the total number of individual atoms on the product side.

For the given chemical equation:

$Pb(NO_3)_2(aq.)+Li_2SO_4(aq.)\rightarrow PbSO_4(s)+2LiNO_3(aq.)$

The coefficient '2' must be added in front of $LiNO_3$ to balance the equation.

Calculate the unit cell edge length for an 85 wt% fe-15 wt% v alloy. All of the vanadium is in solid solution, and, at room temp

Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer is 0.289nm.

Explanation: The wt % of Fe and wt % of V is given for a Fe-V alloy.

wt % of Fe in Fe-V alloy = 85%

wt % of V in Fe-V alloy = 15%

We need to calculate edge length of the unit cell having bcc structure.

Using density formula,

$\rho_{ave}=\frac{Z\times M_{ave}}{a^3\times N_A}$

For calculating edge length,

$a=(\frac{Z\times M_{ave}}{\rho_{ave}\times N_A})^{1/3}$

For calculating $M_{ave}$ , we use the formula

$M_{ave}= \frac{100}{\frac{(wt\%)_{Fe}}{M_{Fe}}+\frac{(wt\%)_{V}}{M_V}}$

Similarly for calculating $(\rho)_{ave}$ , we use the formula

$\rho_{ave}= \frac{100}{\frac{(wt\%)_{Fe}}{\rho_{Fe}}+\frac{(wt\%)_{V}}{\rho_V}}$

From the periodic table, masses of the two elements can be written

$M_{Fe}= 55.85g/mol$

$M_{V}=50.941g/mol$

Specific density of both the elements are

$(\rho)_{Fe}=7.874g/cm^3\\(\rho)_{V}=6.10g/cm^3$

Putting $M_{ave}$ and $\rho_{ave}$ formula's in edge length formula, we get

$a=\left [\frac{Z\left (\frac{100}{\frac{(wt\%)_{Fe}}{M_{Fe}}+\frac{(wt\%)_{Fe}}{M_{Fe}}} \right )}{N_A\left (\frac{100}{\frac{(wt\%)_V}{\rho_V}+\frac{(wt\%)_V}{\rho_V}} \right )} \right ]^{1/3}$

$a=\left [\frac{2atoms/\text{unit cell}\left (\frac{100}{\frac{85\%}{55.85g/mol}+\frac{15\%}{50.941g/mol}} \right )}{(6.023\times10^{23}atoms/mol)\left (\frac{100}{\frac{85\%}{7.874g/cm^3}+\frac{15\%}{6.10g/cm^3}} \right )} \right ]^{1/3}$

By calculating, we get

$a=2.89\times10^{-8}cm=0.289nm$

The natural abundances of elements in the human body, expressed as percent by mass, are: oxygen (O),65 percent; carbon (C), 18 p

almond37 [142]

Answer:

The mass in grams of each element in the body of 62 Kg are

Oxygen 40300 g

Carbon 11160 g

Hydrogen 6200 g

Nitrogen 1860 g

Calcium 992 g

Phosphorus 744 g

Other elements 744 g

It is possible to check it adding all the components, the total is 62000 g.

Explanation:

Firstly, we have a total mass of 62 Kg and the composition as a percentage of each component.

Percentage ( %)

Oxygen 65.0

Carbon 18.0

Hydrogen 10.0

Nitrogen 3.0

Calcium 1.6

Phosphorus 1.2

Other elements 1.2

Taking the definition of a percentage as part of hundred total, each percentage can be expressed as a decimal number. We should divide the percentage with 100 of total. For example: Oxygen 65%, it means 65/100 = 0.65. So, Oxygen is 0.65 in decimal numbers. We do the same for each component.

Percentage ( %) Decimal number

Oxygen 65.0 65/100 = 0.65

Carbon 18.0 18/100 = 0.18

Hydrogen 10.0 10/100 = 0.10

Nitrogen 3.0 3/100 = 0.03

Calcium 1.6 1.6/100 = 0.016

Phosphorus 1.2 1.2/100 = 0.012

Other elements 1.2 1.2/100 = 0.012

Finally. We can multiply decimal number of each component taking the total. 1 Kg is equivalent to 1000 g.

So, 62 Kg = 62 * 1000 g = 62000 g

After that we get the mass in grams of each element, by multiplying 62000 g and the decimal number of each component as follows:

Percentage ( %) Decimal number Mass in grams (g)

Oxygen 65.0 65/100 = 0.65 0.65*62000=40300

Carbon 18.0 18/100 = 0.18 0.18*62000= 11160

Hydrogen 10.0 10/100 = 0.10 0.10*62000= 6200

Nitrogen 3.0 3/100 = 0.03 0.03*62000= 1860

Calcium 1.6 1.6/100 = 0.016 0.016*62000= 992

Phosphorus 1.2 1.2/100 = 0.012 0.012*62000=744

Other elements 1.2 1.2/100 = 0.012 0.012*62000=744

How do balanced chemical equations show the conservation of mass

antiseptic1488 [7]

Answer: Matter cannot be created or destroyed

Explanation: Balanced equations are set equations we cannot change one element or compound in the equation without changing the entire equation. So balanced equation show the conservation of mass because while other substances may be formed from the synthesis or decomposition of compounds new elements are never introduced and are not created out of thin air :)
