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.

What effect does light have on plant growth?
Varvara68 [4.7K]

Explanation:

Light intensity influences the manufacture of plant food, stem length, leaf color and flowering. Generally speaking, plants grown in low light tend to be spindly with light green leaves. A similar plant grown in very bright light tends to be shorter, better branches, and have larger, dark green leaves.

The pOH of a solution is 4.2. Which of the following is true about the solution?
den301095 [7]

Answer:

It is basic and has a pH of 9.8.

Explanation:

pOH = 4.2

we will determine its pH.

pOH + pH = 14

pH = 14 - pOH

pH = 14 - 4.2

pH = 9.8

According to pH scale the the pH lower than 7 is consider acidic while pH of seven is neutral and pH greater than 7 is basic.

The given solution has pH 9.8 it means it is basic.
