Answer:

26.7% is the percent composition by mass of sulfur in a compound named magnesium sulfate.

Explanation:

Molar mass of compound = 120 g/mol

Number of sulfur atom = 1

Atomic mass of sulfur = 32 g/mol

Percentage of element in compound :

$=\frac{\text{Number of atoms}\times \text{Atomic mass}}{\text{molar mas of compound}}\times 100$

Sulfur :

$=\frac{1\times 32 g/mol}{120 g/mol}\times 100=26.7\%$

26.7% is the percent composition by mass of sulfur in a compound named magnesium sulfate.

Lead(II) nitrate is added slowly to a solution that is 0.0800 M in Cl− ions. Calculate the concentration of Pb2+ ions (in mol /

barxatty [35]

Answer:

$[Pb^{2+}]=3.9 \times 10^{-2}M$

this is the concentration required to initiate precipitation

Explanation:

$PbCl_2$ ⇄ $Pb^{2+}+2Cl^-$

Precipitation starts when ionic product is greater than solubility product.

Ip>Ksp

Precipitation starts only when solution is supersaturated because solution become supersaturated then it does not stay in this form and precipitation starts itself only solution become saturated.

This usually happens when two solutions containing separate sources of cation and anion are mixed together and here also we are mixing lead (||)nitrate solution(source of lead(||)) into the Cl- solution.

$Ip=[Pb^{2}][2Cl^-]^2=Ksp$

$Ksp=2.4\times 10^{-4}$

lets solubility=S

$[Pb^{2+}] = S$

$[Cl^-]=2S$

$Ksp=[Pb^{2+}]\times [Cl^-]^2$

$Ksp=S \times (2S)^2$

$Ksp=4S^3$

$S=\sqrt[3]{\frac{Ksp}{4} }$

$S=3.9\times 10^{-2}$

$[Pb^{2+}]=3.9 \times 10^{-2}M$ this is the concentration required to initiate precipitation

The value of the entropy change for the process N₂ (g) + 3H₂ (g) --> 2NH₃ (g) is ________.

kodGreya [7K]

Answer:

negative

Explanation:

Entropy is a measure of the "disorder" in a system.

In this reaction, the amount of disorder decreases. This is because one gas molecule (NH₃) has more order than two gas molecules (N₂ and H₂). Therefore, the entropy change should be negative.

In a solution of a carbonated beverage, what is the dissolved carbon dioxide?

insens350 [35]

Answer:

Explanation:

D is the correct answer because, in aqueous solution, solvent is water and solute (in this example carbon dioxide CO₂) is a substance dissolved in water. The amount of solute that can be dissolved in a solvent depends of chemical composition, temperature and pressure
