Answer : The percent by mass of NaCl and KCl are, 92.22 % and 7.78 % respectively.

Explanation :

As we know that when a mixture of NaCl and KCl react with excess AgNO_3 then the silver ion react with the chloride ion in both NaCl and KCl to form silver chloride.

Let the mass of NaCl be, 'x' grams and the mass of KCl will be, (0.8870 - x) grams.

The molar mass of NaCl and KCl are, 58.5 and 74.5 g/mole respectively.

First we have to calculate the moles of NaCl and KCl.

\text{Moles of }NaCl=\frac{\text{Mass of }NaCl}{\text{Molar mass of }NaCl}=\frac{xg}{58.5g/mole}=\frac{x}{58.5}moles

\text{Moles of }KCl=\frac{\text{Mass of }KCl}{\text{Molar mass of }KCl}=\frac{(0.8870-x)g}{74.5g/mole}=\frac{(0.8870-x)}{74.5}moles

As, each mole of NaCl and KCl gives one mole of chloride ions.

So, moles of chloride ions in NaCl = \frac{x}{58.5}moles

Moles of chloride ions in KCl = \frac{(0.8870-x)}{74.5}moles

The total moles of chloride ions = \frac{x}{58.5}moles+\frac{(0.8870-x)}{74.5}moles

Now we have to calculate the moles of AgCl.

As we know that, this amount of chloride ion is same as the amount chloride ion present in the AgCl precipitate. That means,

Moles of AgCl = Moles of chloride ion = \frac{x}{58.5}moles+\frac{(0.8870-x)}{74.5}moles

Now we have to calculate the moles of AgCl.

The molar mass of AgCl = 143.32 g/mole

\text{Moles of }AgCl=\frac{\text{Mass of }AgCl}{\text{Molar mass of }AgCl}=\frac{2.142g}{143.32g/mole}=0.0149moles

Now we have to determine the value of 'x'.

Moles of AgCl = \frac{x}{58.5}moles+\frac{(0.8870-x)}{74.5}moles

0.0149 mole = \frac{x}{58.5}moles+\frac{(0.8870-x)}{74.5}moles

By solving the term, we get the value of 'x'.

x=0.818g

The mass of NaCl = x = 0.818 g

The mass of KCl = (0.8870 - x) = 0.8870 - 0.818 = 0.069 g

Now we have to calculate the mass percent of NaCl and KCl.

\text{Mass percent of }NaCl=\frac{\text{Mass of }NaCl}{\text{Total mass of mixture}}\times 100=\frac{0.818g}{0.8870g}\times 100=92.22\%

\text{Mass percent of }KCl=\frac{\text{Mass of }KCl}{\text{Total mass of mixture}}\times 100=\frac{0.069g}{0.8870g}\times 100=7.78\%

Therefore, the percent by mass of NaCl and KCl are, 92.22 % and 7.78 % respectively.

How does a catalyst increase the rate of a reaction?
Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

C) It provides a lower activation energy for the reaction is the correct answer.

Explanation:

  • A catalyst increases the rate of the chemical reaction by lowering the activation energy for a reaction.
  • Catalyst is used to increase the reaction rate, it remains unchanged in the chemical reaction and it does not change the equilibrium constant.
  • Activation energy is a minimum amount of energy required to initiate the reaction.
