Answer:

Molecular formula

Explanation:

Molecular formula in the first place is required to understand which compound we have. We then should refer to the periodic table and find the molecular weight for each atom. Adding individual molecular weights together would yield the molar mass of a compound.

Then, dividing the total molar mass of a specific atom by the molar mass of a compound and converting into percentage will provide us with the percentage of that specific atom.

E. g., calculate the percent composition of water:

molecular formula is $H_2O$ ;
calculate its molar mass: [tex]M = 2M_H + M_O = 2\cdot 1.00784 g/mol + 16.00 g/mol = 18.016 g/mol;
find the percentage of hydrogen: [tex]\omega_H = \frac{2\cdot 1.00784 g/mol}{18.016 g/mol}\cdot 100 \% = 11.19 %;
find the percentage of oxygen: [tex]\omega_O = \frac{16.00 g/mol}{18.016 g/mol}\cdot 100 \% = 88.81 %.

Answer:

Ti6Al4V1 or Ti6Al4V

Explanation:

So, from the question above we are given the following Important data or parameters or information which is going to help us in solving this question and they are;

The "surgical-grade" titanium is made up of 64.3% titanium, 24.19% aluminum and 11.42% vanadium.

This is a stoichiometry Question so in order to be able to solve this question one must have the basic knowledge of stoichiometry, it is advisable that one revise it.

So, let us delve right into the solution of this question. Recall that, the formula for Calculating the number of moles = mass/molar mass.

Hence, the number of moles of titanium,Ti = 64.3/47.87 = 3 moles.

Also, the number of moles of aluminum = 24.19/26.98 = 0.8966

For vanadium; 11.42/51 = 0.22

The next step is to divide each number of moles component by the lowest number of mole, that is;

Ti = 1.34/ 0.22 = 6; Al = 0.8966/0.22= 4 and V = 0.22/0.22 = 1.

Thus, the emperical formula is = Ti6Al4V.

How fast must a 56.5-g tennis ball travel in order to have a de Broglie wavelength that is equal to that of a photon of green li

nikklg [1K]

Answer:vv

$v=2.17\times 10^{-26}\ m/s$

Explanation:

The expression for the deBroglie wavelength is:

$\lambda=\frac {h}{m\times v}$

Where,

$\lambda$ is the deBroglie wavelength

h is Plank's constant having value $6.626\times 10^{-34}\ Js$

m is the mass of = $56.5\ g=0.0565\ kg$

v is the speed.

Wavelength = 5400 Å = $5400\times 10^{-10}\ m$

Applying in the equation as:-

$5400\times 10^{-10}=\frac{6.626\times 10^{-34}}{0.0565\times v}$

$v=\frac{331300000}{10^{34}\times \:1.5255}\ m/s$

$v=2.17\times 10^{-26}\ m/s$

A student mixes a solution containing 10.0 g bacl2 (m = 208.2) with a solution containing 10.0 g na2so4 (m = 142.1) and obtains

professor190 [17]

The balanced equation for the above reaction is as follows;
Na₂SO₄ + BaCl₂ --> BaSO₄ + 2NaCl
Na₂SO₄ reacts with BaCl₂ in the molar ratio 1:1
Number of Na₂SO₄ moles - 10.0 g / 142.1 g/mol = 0.0704 mol
Number of BaCl₂ moles - 10.0 g / 208.2 g/mol = 0.0480 mol
this means that 0.0480 mol of each reactant is used up, BaCl₂ is the limiting reactant and Na₂SO₄ has been provided in excess.
stoichiometry of BaCl₂ to BaSO₄ is 1:1
number of BaSO₄ moles formed - 0.0480 mol
Mass of BaSO₄ - 0.0480 mol x 233.2 g/mol = 11.2 g
theoretical yield is 11.2 g but the actual yield is 12.0 g
the actual product maybe more than the theoretical yield of the product as the measured mass of the actual yield might contain impurities.
percent yield - 12.0 g/ 11.2 g x 100% = 107%
this is due to impurities present in the product or product could be wet.
