A mixture of CrBr3 and inert material is analyzed to determine the Cr content. First the mixture is dissolved in water. Then all

of the bromide ion is precipitated as AgBr by the addition of an excess of silver nitrate. CrBr3(aq) + 3AgNO3(aq) 3AgBr(s) + Cr(NO3)3(aq) In one experiment, a 0.8409 g sample of the mixture resulted in 1.0638 g of AgBr. Determine the percent (by mass) of Cr in the mixture.

Answer:

Mass% Cr = 85.5%

Explanation:

<u>Given:</u>

Mass of CrBr3 sample = 0.8409 g

Mass of the AgBr precipitate = 1.0638 g

<u>To determine:</u>

The mass percent of Cr in the sample

<u>Calculation:</u>

The reaction of CrBr3 with silver nitrate results in the precipitation of the bromide ion as silver chloride (AgBr) and Cr as soluble Cr(NO3)2

CrBr3(aq) + 3AgNO3(aq)→ 3AgBr(s) + Cr(NO3)3(aq)

Molecular weight of AgBr =187.77 g/mol

Moles of AgBr precipitated is:

Moles(AgBr)=\frac{Mass(AgBr)}{Mol.wt(AgBr)}=\frac{0.8409g}{187.77g/mol}=0.004478moles

Since 1 mole of AgBr contains 1 mole of Cl, therefore:

# moles of Cl = 0.004478 moles

At wt of Cl = 35.45 g/mol

Mass(Chloride)=moles*at.wt = .004478moles*34.45g/mol=0.1543

Mass%(chloride)=\frac{mass(chloride)}{mass(sample)}*100=\frac{0.1543}{1.0638}*100 = 14.50%

Mass%(Cr) = 100 - 14.50=85.5%

Which colligative property is employed when salt is put on an icy sidewalk to melt ice?
ankoles [38]
<span>The correct answer is 'freezing point depression'. Colligative properties depend on the concentration of molecules of a solute. Examples of other colligative properties are boiling point elevation or vapour pressure lowering. The salt causes ice on the side walk to melt because it lowers the freezing point. </span>

In beta decay, what is emitted? A. an electron B. a helium-4 atom C. a neutron D. a photon E. a radionucleus
myrzilka [38]

Answer: A. an electron

<u>Beta particles are electrons or positrons (electrons with positive electric charge or antielectrons).</u> Beta decay is a type of radioactive decay in which a beta ray is emitted from an atomic nucleus.

<u>Beta decay occurs when, in an unstable nucleus with too many protons or too many neutrons, one of the protons or neutrons transforms into the other.</u> In beta minus decay, a neutron is broken down into a proton, an electron, and an antineutrino (the neutrino antiparticle, meaning it has an opposite charge to the neutrino). In beta decay plus, a prototype breaks down into a neutron, a positron and a neutrino.

Dinitrogen tetraoxide, N2O4, decomposes to nitrogen dioxide, NO2, in a first-order process. If k = 1.5 x 103 s-1 at 5 ºC and k =
Arada [10]

Answer:

The activation energy for the decomposition = 33813.28 J/mol

Explanation:

Using the expression,

\ln \dfrac{k_{1}}{k_{2}} =-\dfrac{E_{a}}{R} \left (\dfrac{1}{T_1}-\dfrac{1}{T_2} \right )

Wherem  

k_1\ is\ the\ rate\ constant\ at\ T_1

k_2\ is\ the\ rate\ constant\ at\ T_2

E_a is the activation energy

R is Gas constant having value = 8.314 J / K mol  

Thus, given that, E_a = ?

k_2=4.0\times 10^3s^{-1}

k_1=1.5\times 10^3s^{-1}  

T_1=5\ ^0C  

T_2=25\ ^0C  

The conversion of T( °C) to T(K) is shown below:

T(K) = T( °C) + 273.15  

So,  

T = (5 + 273.15) K = 278.15 K  

T = (25 + 273.15) K = 298.15 K  

T_1=278.15\ K

T_2=298.15\ K

So,

\ln \frac{1.5\times 10^3}{4.0\times 10^3}\:=-\frac{E_{a}}{8.314}\times \left(\frac{1}{278.15}-\frac{1}{298.15}\right)

E_a=-\ln \frac{1.5\times \:10^3}{4.0\times \:10^3}\:\times \frac{8.314}{\left(\frac{1}{278.15}-\frac{1}{298.15}\right)}

E_a=-\frac{8.314\ln \left(\frac{1.5\times \:10^3}{4\times \:10^3}\right)}{\frac{1}{278.15}-\frac{1}{298.15}}

E_a=-\frac{689483.53266 \ln \left(\frac{1.5}{4}\right)}{20}

E_a=33813.28\ J/mol

<u>The activation energy for the decomposition = 33813.28 J/mol</u>

How many atoms are there in 144g of sucrose, C12H22O11 or sugar molecules?
kati45 [8]

Answer:

2.53×10²³ atoms

Explanation:

To solve this, convert grams to moles and moles to atoms.

To convert grams to moles, use the molar mass of C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁ (342.296 g/mol).  Divide the mass by the molar mass to get moles.  Moles = 0.4207

To convert moles to atoms, use Avogadro's number (6.022×10²³ atoms/mol).  Multiply moles by Avogadro's number to get atoms.  Atoms = 2.53×10²³
