The answer to this question is 5
Answer:
6.82g
0.59moles
Explanation:
1. What is the mass sample of 0.0500 moles of zinc chloride ?
Given parameters:
Number of moles ZnCl₂ = 0.05moles
Unknown:
Mass of the sample = ?
Solution:
To find the mass of a substance using the number of moles, it would be pertinent to understand what mole is.
A mole is a substance that contains the avogadro's number of particles.
It relates to the mass using the expression below;
Mass of a substance = number of moles x molar mass
Molar mass of ZnCl₂;
Atomic mass of Zn = 65.4g/mol
Cl = 35.5g/mol
Molar mass = 65.4 + 2(35.5) = 136.4g/mole
Mass of a substance = 0.05 x 136.4 = 6.82g
2. How many moles of potassium sulfide are in a 65.50g sample?
Given parameters:
Mass of K₂S = 65.5g
Unknown:
Number of moles = ?
Solution:
The number of moles of any substance is related to mass using the expression below;
Number of moles = 
Molar mass of K₂S = 2(39) + 32 = 110g/mol
Number of moles =
= 0.59moles
The statement that is true among
the following sentences is ‘Minerals can be elements or compounds’. Minerals cannot
be liquid in form and they are not organic. Minerals are inorganic and present
as solid in phase. When placed in water, they do not dissolve at all.
Answer:
oxygen is an element because it is a pure substance which cannot be split into simpler substances by chemical means
