Answer:

The molar mass of E = 15.96 g/mol

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

The compound Cr2E3 contains 68.47 % Cr and 31.53 % E

The molar mass of Cr = 52 g/mol

⇒ 2*52 = 104 g/mol

The molar mass of Cr2E3 = 2*52 g/mol + 3X

Step 2: Calculate mass of Cr2E3

Cr is 68.47 %

Mass of Cr = 104 grams

Cr2E3 is 100%

Mass of Cr2E3 = 151.89 grams

Molar mass of Cr2E3 = 151.89 g/mol

Step 3: Calculate mass of E

Mass of E3 = mass of Cr2E3 - mass of Cr

Mass of E3 = 151.89 grams - 104 grams

Mass of E3= 47.89 grams

Mass of E = 15.96 grams

The molar mass of E = 15.96 g/mol

A 31.3-g sample of ammonium carbonate contains ________ mol of ammonium ions.
Leona [35]
<span>We need to calculate the equivalent amount in units of moles of ammonium ions from the mass units. For this we need the molar mass of the substances involved. We calculate as follows: 

31.3 g </span>(NH4)2CO3 ( 1 mol (NH4)2CO3 / 96.09 g (NH4)2CO3) ( 2 mol NH4 / 1 mol (NH4)2CO3 ) = 0.65 mol <span>ammonium ions</span>

What is the nuclear binding energy for thorium-234? 2.78 × 10-10 J 3.36 × 10-14 J 1.67 × 1017 J 5.35 x 10-23 J
grin007 [14]
The correct option is A.
To calculate the binding energy, you have to find the mass defect first.
Mass defect = [mass of proton and neutron] - Mass of the nucleus
The molar mass of thorium that we are given in the question is 234, the atomic number of thorium is 90, that means the number of neutrons in thorium is 
234 - 90 = 144.
The of proton in thourium is 90, same as the atomic number.
Mass defect = {[90 * 1.00728] +[144* 1.00867]} - 234
Note that each proton has a mass of 1.00728 amu and each neutron has the mass of 1.00867 amu.
Mass defect = [90.6552 + 145.24848] - 234 = 1.90368 amu.
Note that the unit of the mass is in amu, it has to be converted to kg
To calculate the mass in kg
Mass [kg] = 1.90368 * [1kg/6.02214 * 10^-26 = 3.161135 * 10^-27
To calculate the binding energy
E = MC^2
C = Speed of light constant = 2.9979245 *10^8 m/s2
E = [3.161135 * 10^-27] * [2.9979245 *10^8]^2
E = 2.84108682069 * 10^-10.
Note that we arrive at this answer because of the number of significant figures that we used.
So, from the option given, Option A is the nearest to the calculated value and is our answer for this problem.

Reaction coordinates represent: A. The balanced equation for a chemical reaction. B. The change in pH for a chemical reaction. C
Hunter-Best [27]

Answer:

C. The potential energy change for a chemical reaction.

Explanation:

The reaction coordinate q illustrates, graphically, the energy changes during exothermic and endothermic reactions. This graphical representation of the energy changes in the course of a chemical reaction is known as reaction coordinates. A reaction coordinate is a graphical sequence of steps by which the reaction progresses from reactants through activated complexes to products. Reaction coordinates explain how far a reaction has proceeded towards the products or from the reactants.

From the images attached below, we can see the reaction coordinates in the reaction profiles.
