K5O2

convert grams to moles, divide both by the smallest mole mass, multiply that until hole.

30.5 g K ÷ 39.10 = .78 mol
6.24 g O ÷ 16 = .39 mol
.78 mol ÷ .39 mol = 2.5
.39 mol ÷ .39 mol = 1
2.5 x 2 = 5
1 x 2 = 2
K5O2

The atomic weight of iodine is less than the atomic weight of tellurium. However, Mendeleev listed iodine after tellurium in his
QveST [7]

Explanation :

As we know that Mendeleev arranged the elements in horizontal rows and vertical columns of a table in order of their increasing relative atomic weights.

He placed the elements with similar nature in the same group.

According to the question, the atomic weight of iodine is less than the atomic weight of tellurium. So according to this, iodine should be placed before tellurium in Mendeleev's tables. But Mendeleev placed iodine after tellurium in his original periodic table.

However, iodine has similar chemical properties to chlorine and bromine. So, in order to make iodine queue up with chlorine and bromine in his periodic table, Mendeleev exchanged the positions of iodine and tellurium.

As we know that the positions of iodine and tellurium were reversed in Mendeleev's table because iodine has one naturally occurring isotope that is iodine-127  and tellurium isotopes are tellurium-128 and tellurium-130.

Due to high relative abundance of tellurium isotopes gives tellurium the greater relative atomic mass.

Explain why the air in Earth's atmosphere is a mixture, not a compound. Brainiest offered need it by 6:45!!!
Georgia [21]

Answer:

air is not a mixture because of scientists freezing it and finding different liquids, it is a mixture because the compounds that make up air e.g. oxygen (o2), Carbon dioxide (co2) and the most important Nitrogen which is an element and makes up 78.09% of air are not chemically bound in the way that compounds are

A 10 mm Brinell hardness indenter is used for some hardness testing measurements of a steel alloy. a) Compute the HB of this mat
Lady_Fox [76]

Explanation:

(a)  The given data is as follows.  

         Load applied (P) = 1000 kg

         Indentation produced (d) = 2.50 mm

         BHI diameter (D) = 10 mm

Expression for Brinell Hardness is as follows.

                HB = \frac{2P}{\pi D [D - \sqrt{(D^{2} - d^{2})}]}    

Now, putting the given values into the above formula as follows.

                HB = \frac{2P}{\pi D [D - \sqrt{(D^{2} - d^{2})}]}                            = \frac{2 \times 1000 kg}{3.14 \times 10 mm [D - \sqrt{((10 mm)^{2} - (2.50)^{2})}]}  

                       = \frac{2000}{9.98}                          

                       = 200

Therefore, the Brinell HArdness is 200.

(b)     The given data is as follows.

               Brinell Hardness = 300

                Load (P) = 500 kg

               BHI diameter (D) = 10 mm

             Indentation produced (d) = ?

                      d = \sqrt{(D^{2} - [D - \frac{2P}{HB} \pi D]^{2})}

                         = \sqrt{(10 mm)^{2} - [10 mm - \frac{2 \times 500 kg}{300 \times 3.14 \times 10 mm}]^{2}}

                          = 4.46 mm

Hence, the diameter of an indentation to yield a hardness of 300 HB when a 500-kg load is used is 4.46 mm.

Number of grams of hydrogen than can be prepared from 6.80g of aluminum​
Anastaziya [24]

Answer:

0.7561 g.

Explanation:

  • The hydrogen than can be prepared from Al according to the balanced equation:

<em>2Al + 6HCl → 2AlCl₃ + 3H₂,</em>

It is clear that 2.0 moles of Al react with 6.0 mole of HCl to produce 2.0 moles of AlCl₃ and 3.0 mole of H₂.

  • Firstly, we need to calculate the no. of moles of (6.8 g) of Al:

no. of moles of Al = mass/atomic mass = (6.8 g)/(26.98 g/mol) = 0.252 mol.

<em>Using cross multiplication:</em>

2.0 mol of Al produce → 3.0 mol of H₂, from stichiometry.

0.252 mol of Al need to react → ??? mol of H₂.

∴ the no. of moles of H₂ that can be prepared from 6.80 g of aluminum = (3.0 mol)(0.252 mol)/(2.0 mol) = 0.3781 mol.

  • Now, we can get the mass of H₂ that can be prepared from 6.80 g of aluminum:

mass of H₂ = (no. of moles)(molar mass) = (0.3781 mol)(2.0 g/mol) = 0.7561 g.
