Calculate in witch material - sodium or zinc sulphide is the highest percentage by mass of sulfur ​

Chemistry
1 answer:
rjkz [21]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

sodium sulphide.

Explanation:

First, let us obtain the percentage of sulphur in both compounds. This is illustrated below:

For sodium sulphide(Na₂S):

Molar Mass of Na₂S = (23x2) + 32 = 46 + 32 = 78g/mol

Percentage of sulphur in Na₂S is given by:

32/78 x 100 = 41%

For zinc sulphide(ZnS):

Molar Mass of ZnS = 65.4 + 32 = 97.4g/mol

Percentage of sulphur in ZnS is given by:

32/97.4 x 100 = 33%

From the results obtained sulphur has the highest percentage by mass in sodium sulphide.

Elements x and y form 2 binary compounds. In the first 14.0 g of x combines with 3.0 g of y. In the second, 7.00 g of x combine
Roman55 [17]

second compound

Let molar mass of x is = X

Let molar mass of y is = Y

Moles of x in second compound = Mass / molar mass = 7 / X

Moles of y in second compound = Mass / molar mass = 4.5 / Y

For second compound  

7 / X : 4.5/ Y = 1:1

Therefore

X / Y = 7/4.5

Y / X = 4.5/ 7

The mass of x in first compound = 14g

moles of x in first compound = 14/X

Mass of y in first compound = 3

moles of y in first compound = 3 / Y

14 / X : 3/ Y = 14Y / 3X = 14 X 4.5 / 3 X 7 = 3 :1

Thus molar ratio in first compound = moles of x / Moles of y = 3:2

Formula = x3y

How to balance the equation Mg2+HO2=Cu3O+H2<br><br>​
Mariulka [41]
I think the answer is 2Mg + H2O4 = Cu12O4 + 2H

I’m really not sure though so it might be wrong… I’m not the best at balancing equations lol

The pressure of a sample of helium is 1.556 atm in a 268.5 mL container. If the container is compressed to 112.4 mL without chan
Rainbow [258]

Answer:

a.  3.72 [atm]

Explanation:

For a gas at constant temperature, (with no change in number of molecules of the gas), we can apply Boyle's Law:  P_1V_1=P_2V_2

(1.556[atm])(268.5[mL])=P_2(112.4[mL])

\dfrac{(1.556[atm])(268.5[mL\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!{--}])}{112.4[mL \!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!{--}]}=\dfrac{P_2(112.4[mL]\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!{-----})}{112.4[mL]\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!{-----}}

3.716957[atm]=P_2

It seems like the answer should have 4 significant figures since all of the other quantities have 4 significant figures, but the closest answer choice of those provided is a.  3.72
