a compound contains two elements, sulfur and oxygen. in a sample of the compound, the mass of sulfur is 6.41 grams. the mass of

the oxygen is 9.60 grams. what is the percentage composition of the compound

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%.

What volume of a concentrated HCl solution, which is 36.0% HCl by mass and has a density of 1.179 g/mL, should be used to make 4
Ivenika [448]

Answer:

130ml of HCl(36%) in 4.90L solution => pH = 1.50

Explanation:

Need 4.90L of HCl(aq) solution with pH = 1.5.

Given pH = 1.5 => [H⁺] = 10⁻¹·⁵M = 0.032M in H⁺

[HCl(36%)] ≅ 12M in HCl

(M·V)concentrate = (M·V)diluted

12M·V(conc) = 0.032M·4.91L

=> V(conc) needed = [(0.032)(4.91)/12]Liters = 0.0130Liters or 130 ml.

Mixing Caution => Add 131 ml of HCl(36%) into a small quantity of water (~500ml) then dilute to the mark.

What happens when the vapor pressure of a liquid is equal to the external pressure? The liquid freezes The intermolecular forces
Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

The liquid boils.

Explanation:

Vapor pressure is simply defined as the pressure exerted on a substance (solid/liquid) by the vapor of the substance collected just at the top of the surface of the substance. In concise words, it is the pressure of Vapor that is in contact with its solid or liquid state.

For a liquid, it is the pressure of the Vapor gathering at the top of the surface of the liquid.

When this Vapor pressure matches the external pressure, the temperature stays constant and the molecules of the liquid all through the liquid can gain enough energy, rise to the surface of the liquid and break free in gaseous form; thereby, boiling.

The definition of boiling point basically explains that it is the point at which temperature stays constant, and the vapour pressure of the liquid matches the atmospheric/external pressure around the liquid and its liquid molecules change into vapor.

This is why liquids boil faster at higher altitudes; the atmospheric pressure at higher altitudes is reduced, hence, the temperature at which liquid boils at this high altitude is normally lower than its known boiling point temperature.

It is also why food cooks to a temperature higher than the boiling point of water in a pressure cooker/pot. The added pressure ensures that the cooking water boils at temperatures higher than its boiling point; thereby exposing the cooking ingredients to a higher temperature, leading to faster cooking.

Hence, it is obvious why boiling is the answer to this question.

2.00 L of 0.800 M NaNO3 must be prepared from a solution known to be 2.50 M in concentration.How many mL are required? Plus don'
Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:

1.36 × 10³ mL of water.

Explanation:

We can utilize the dilution equation. Recall that:

\displaystyle M_1V_1= M_2V_2

Where <em>M</em> represents molarity and <em>V</em> represents volume.

Let the initial concentration and unknown volume be <em>M</em>₁ and <em>V</em>₁, respectively. Let the final concentration and required volume be <em>M</em>₂ and <em>V</em>₂, respectively. Solve for <em>V</em>₁:

\displaystyle \begin{aligned} (2.50\text{ M})V_1 &= (0.800\text{ M})(2.00\text{ L}) \\ \\ V_1 & = 0.640\text{ L} \end{aligned}

Therefore, we can begin with 0.640 L of the 2.50 M solution and add enough distilled water to dilute the solution to 2.00 L. The required amount of water is thus:
\displaystyle 2.00\text{ L} - 0.640\text{ L} = 1.36\text{ L}

Convert this value to mL:
\displaystyle 1.36\text{ L} \cdot \frac{1000\text{ mL}}{1\text{ L}} = 1.36\times 10^3\text{ mL}

Therefore, about 1.36 × 10³ mL of water need to be added to the 2.50 M solution.

Precision Problems:
Lorico [155]

Answer:

Precision = 2.70 \± 0.1\ cm

Explanation:

Given

The data in the table

Required

Follow the steps appended to the question;

Step 1: Calculate the Mean or Average

Mean = Summation of lengths divided by number of teams;

Mean = \frac{2.65 + 2.75 + 2.80 + 2.77 + 2.60 + 2.65 + 2.68}{7}\ cm

Mean = \frac{18.9}{7}\ cm

Mean = 2.70\ cm

Step 2: Get The Range

Range = Highest - Lowest

Range = 2.80cm - 2.60cm

Range = 0.2\ cm

Step 3: Divide Range by 2

Approximate\ Range = \frac{1}{2}Range

Approximate\ Range = \frac{1}{2} * 0.2\ cm

Approximate\ Range = 0.1\ cm

Step 4: Determine the Precision

Precision = Average \± Approximate\ Range

Substitute 2.70 for Average and 0.1 for Approximate Range

Precision = 2.70 \± 0.1\ cm
