Complete question :

A jeweler has five rings, each weighing 18 g, made of an alloy of 10% silver and 90% gold. She decides to melt down the rings and add enough silver to reduce the gold content to 75%. How much silver should she add?

Answer:

Kindly check explanation

Explanation:

Given the following :

Weight of each alloy = 18g

Initial % of Silver = 10% = 0.1

Initial % of Gold = 90% = 0.9

New % of gold = 75% = 0.75

Hence, new % of silver will be (1 - 0.75) = 0.25

Let the amount of silver to be added = s

Hence,

Initial gold content = final gold content + added silver

18 * 0.9 = 0.75(18 + s)

16.2 = 13.5 + 0.75s

16. 2 = 13.5 + 0.75s

16.2 - 13.5 = 0.75s

2.7 = 0.75s

s = 2.7 / 0.75

s = 3.6

S = 3.6

Hence the amount of silver needed per ring in other to reduce the gold content = 3.6g

Total for the 5 rings = (3.6 * 5) = 18g

The chemical equation is unbalanced and synthesized.

<h3></h3><h3>What is a chemical equation?</h3>

A chemical equation is described as the symbolic representation of a chemical reaction in the form of symbols and chemical formulas.

In a chemical equation, the reactant entities are given on the left-hand side and the product entities is shown on the right-hand side with a plus sign between the entities in both the reactants and the products, and an arrow that indicates towards the products to show the direction of the reaction.

We can conclude that in the chemical equation shown is unbalanced because both amounts of the individual elements and compounds do not reflect on the reactant and product side.

The complete question is below:

After learning about the law of conservation of mass, Sammy became interested in balancing equations. He knew that the symbol for aluminum was Al and silver tarnish was Ag2S. He also knew that mixing the two chemicals yielded pure silver, or Ag, in an aluminum sulfide solution. Here is the equation showing this reaction:

3 Ag2S + 2 Al → 6 Ag + Al2S3

This equation is (synthesis / unbalanced / replacement / balanced), and it represents a(n) (unbalanced / balanced / synthesized / replaced) chemical reaction.

answer choices:

  • synthesis; balanced

  • balanced; replacement

  • unbalanced; synthesized

  • balanced; balanced

Indicate if the following statements are TRUE (T) or FALSE (F):
Aleks [24]

Answer:

a) T

b) T

c) F

d) F

e) T

f) T

g) T

h) F

I) F

j) F

k) F

l) F

Explanation:

The w/v concentration is obtained from, mass/volume. Hence;

%w/v= 50/1000= 5%

In the %w/w we have;

25g/100 g = 25% w/w

In combustion reaction, energy is given out hence it is exothermic.

Neutralization reaction yields a salt and water

% by mass of carbon is obtained from;

8× 12/114 × 100 = 84.1%

All the ionic substances mentioned have very low solubility in water.

One mole of a substance contains the Avogadro's number of each atom in the compound.

There are two iron atoms so one mole contains 2× 55.85 g of iron.

Some sulphates such as BaSO4 are insoluble in water.

Halides are soluble in water hence NaI is soluble in water.

The equation does not balance with the given coefficients because the number of atoms of each element on both sides differ.

The equation represents a decomposition of calcium carbonate as written.

A 0.1 gram sample of an unknown liquid is vaporized completely at 70 degrees C to fill a 750mL flask. The pressure is 0.05951atm
Deffense [45]

Answer:

The molar mass of the liquid 62.89 g/mol

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of the sample = 0.1 grams

Temperature = 70°C

Volume = 750 mL

Pressure = 0.05951 atm

Step 2: Calculate the number of moles

p*V = n*R*T

n = (p*V)/(R*T)

⇒ with n = the number of moles gas = TO BE DETERMINED

⇒ with p = The pressure = 0.05951 atm

⇒ with V = The volume of the flask = 750 mL = 0.750 L

⇒ with R = The gasconstant = 0.08206 L*atm/K*mol

⇒with T = the temperature = 70 °C = 343 Kelvin

n = (0.05951 *0.750)/(0.08206*343)

n = 0.00159 moles

Step 3: Calculate molar mass

Molar mass = mass / moles

Molar mass =0.1 gram /  0.00159 moles

Molar mass = 62.89 g/mol

The molar mass of the liquid 62.89 g/mol
