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.

The combustion of 3.795 mg of liquid B, which contains only C, H, and O, with excess oxygen gave 9.708 mg of CO2 and 3.969 mg of
attashe74 [19]

Answer:

Explanation:

9.708 mg of CO₂ will contain 12 x 9.708 / 44 = 2.64 g of C .

3.969 mg of H₂O will contain 2 x 3.969 / 18 = .441 g of H .

mg of O in given liquid B = 3.795 - ( 2.64 + .441 ) = .714 mg

ratio of mg of C , H , O in the compound = 2.64 : .441 : .714

ratio of no of atoms  of C , H , O in the compound

= 2.64 / 12 : .441 /1 : .714 / 16

= .22 : .44 : .0446

= .22 / .22 : .44 / .22 : .044 / .22

= 1 : 2 : .2

1 x 5 : 2 x 5 : .2 x 5

= 5 : 10 : 1

empirical formula of the compound = C₅H₁₀O

Volume of 89.8 mL at 1 .00 atm at 200⁰C

volume of gas at 1 atm and 0⁰C = 89.8 x 273 / 473 mL

= 51.83 mL

51.83 mL weighs .205 g

22400 mL will weigh .205 x 22400 / 51.83 g

= 88.6 g

So molecular weight = 88.6

Let molecular formula be (C₅H₁₀O)ₙ

molecular weight = n ( 5 x 12 + 10 + 16 )

= 86 n

86 n = 88.6

n = 1 approx

So molecular formula is same as empirical formula

C₅H₁₀O is molecular formula .

How many grams of CaCl2 are in 250 mL of 2.0 M CaCl2?
Tom [10]
The answer is:  " 56 g CaCl₂ " .
__________________________________________________________

Explanation:
__________________________________________________________
2.0 M CaCl₂  = 2.0 mol CaCl₂ / L  ; 

Since: "M" = "Molarity" (measurement of concentration); 

                  = moles of solute per L {"Liter"} of solution.
__________________________________________________________
Note the exact conversion:  1000 mL = 1 L . 

Given: 250 mL ;   

250 mL = ?  L  ?  ;  


250 mL * (1 L / 1000 L) =  (250/1000) L = 0.25 L . 
___________________________________________________________
 
(2.0 mol CaCl₂ / L ) * (0.25L) = (2.0) * (0.25) mol  = 0.50 mol CaCl₂ ;

We have: 0.50 mol CaCl₂ ;  Convert to "g" (grams):

→ 0.50 mol CaCl₂  .
___________________________________________________________
1 mol CaCl₂ = ? g ?

From the Periodic Table of Elements:

1 mol Ca = 40.08 g

1 mol Cl  =  <span>35.45 g .
</span>
There are 2 atoms of Cl in " CaCl₂ " ;  

→ Note the subscript, "2", in the " Cl₂ " ; 
__________________________________________________________
So, to calculate the molar mass of "CaCl₂" :

40.08 g  +  2(35.45 g) = 

40.08 g  +  70.90 g = 110.98 g ;  round to 4 significant figures; 

                                 → round to 111 g/mol .
__________________________________________________________
So:

→  0.50 mol CaCl₂  = ? g CaCl₂  ? ; 

→  0.50 mol CaCl₂ * (111 g CaCl₂ / mol CaCl₂) ;

                                             = (0.50) * (111 g) CaCl₂ ;

                                             =  55.5 g CaCl₂  ;

                                                → round to 2 significant figures; 

                                                →  56 g CaCl₂ .
___________________________________________________________
The answer is:  " 56 g CaCl₂ " .

Select all statements that correctly describe hemoglobin and myoglobin structure. a. Molecular oxygen binds irreversibly to the
DIA [1.3K]

Answer:

c. By itself, heme is not a good oxygen carrier. It must be part of a larger protein to prevent oxidation of the iron.

e. Both hemoglobin and myoglobin contain a prosthetic group called heme, which contains a central iron ( Fe ) (Fe) atom.

f. Hemoglobin is a heterotetramer, whereas myoglobin is a monomer. The heme prosthetic group is entirely buried within myoglobin.

Explanation:

The differences between hemoglobin and myoglobin are most important at the level of quaternary structure. Hemoglobin is a tetramer composed of two each of two types of closely related subunits, alpha and beta. Myoglobin is a monomer (so it doesn't have a quaternary structure at all). Myoglobin binds oxygen more tightly than does hemoglobin. This difference in binding energy reflects the movement of oxygen from the bloodstream to the cells, from hemoglobin to myoglobin.

Myoglobin binds oxygen

The binding of O 2 to myoglobin is a simple equilibrium reaction:

in heating a kettle of water on an electric stove, 3.34×10^3 J of thermal energy was provided by the element of the stove. yet,
insens350 [35]

Answer:

The percentage efficiency of the electrical element is approximately 82.186%

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

The thermal energy provided by the stove element, H_{supplied} = 3.34 × 10³ J

The amount thermal energy gained by the kettle, H_{absorbed}  = 5.95 × 10² J

The percentage efficiency of the electrical element in heating the kettle of water, η%, is given as follows;

\eta \% = \dfrac{H_{supplied} - H_{absorbed} }{H_{supplied}}  \times 100

Therefore, we get;

\eta \% = \dfrac{3.34 \times 10^3 - 5.95 \times 10^2}{3.34 \times 10^3}  \times 100 = \dfrac{549}{668} \times 100 \approx 82.186 \%

The percentage efficiency of the electrical element, η% ≈ 82.186%.
