Percent composition is mass of element over mass of compound times 100. 6.41 + 9.60 = 16.01 g of compound, so % composition of sulfur is 6.41/16.01 x100 or 40.0%. % oxygen is 9.60/16.01 x 100 or 60.0%.

A chemist titrates 160.0mL of a 0.3403M aniline C6H5NH2 solution with 0.0501M HNO3 solution at 25°C . Calculate the pH at equiva
maxonik [38]

Answer : The pH of the solution is, 5.24

Explanation :

First we have to calculate the volume of HNO_3

Formula used :

M_1V_1=M_2V_2

where,

M_1\text{ and }V_1 are the initial molarity and volume of C_6H_5NH_2.

M_2\text{ and }V_2 are the final molarity and volume of HNO_3.

We are given:

M_1=0.3403M\\V_1=160.0mL\\M_2=0.0501M\\V_2=?

Putting values in above equation, we get:

0.3403M\times 160.0mL=0.0501M\times V_2\\\\V_2=1086.79mL

Now we have to calculate the total volume of solution.

Total volume of solution = Volume of C_6H_5NH_2 +  Volume of HNO_3

Total volume of solution = 160.0 mL + 1086.79 mL

Total volume of solution = 1246.79 mL

Now we have to calculate the Concentration of salt.

\text{Concentration of salt}=\frac{0.3403M}{1246.79mL}\times 160.0mL=0.0437M

Now we have to calculate the pH of the solution.

At equivalence point,

pOH=\frac{1}{2}[pK_w+pK_b+\log C]

pOH=\frac{1}{2}[14+4.87+\log (0.0437)]

pOH=8.76

pH+pOH=14\\\\pH=14-pOH\\\\pH=14-8.76\\\\pH=5.24

Thus, the pH of the solution is, 5.24

Do equal volumes of the same gas at the same temperature and pressure contain equal numbers of molecules (number of moles)?
tresset_1 [31]

Answer:Therefore, there must be a direct relationship between these volumes of gases and the number of molecules they contain. Avogadro's law says that: Equal volumes of different gaseous substances, measured under the same pressure and temperature conditions, contain the same number of molecules.

Explanation:I hope it works for you.

What type of chemical bond would form between an atom of lithium (Li) and an atom of chlorine (Cl). Explain specifically why thi
Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Explanation:

  • When a bond is formed by transfer of electrons from one atom to another then it results in the formation of an ionic bond.

An ionic bond is generally formed by a metal and a non-metal.

For example, lithium is an alkali metal with atomic number 3 and its electronic distribution is 2, 1.

And, chlorine is a non-metal with atomic number 17 and its electronic distribution is 2, 8, 7.

So, in order to complete their octet lithium needs to lose an electron and chlorine needs to gain an electron.

Hence, both of then on chemically combining together results in the formation of an ionic compound that is, lithium chloride (LiCl).

An ionic compound is formed by LiCl because lithium has donated its valence electron to the chlorine atom.  

  • On the other hand, if a bond is formed by sharing of electrons between the two chemically combining atoms then it is known as a covalent bond.

For example, O_{2} is a covalent compound as electrons are being shared by each oxygen atom.
