Answer:

Tin: 54.3%

Zinc: 45.7%

Explanation:

The molar masses of the elements are:

Tin: Sn = 117.710 g/mol

Zinc: Zn = 65.409 g/mol

Fluorine: F = 18.998 g/mol

The fluorine gas in excess, so the reaction consumes all the alloy, and all the tin is converted to SnF₄ and all the zinc is converted to ZnF₂. The molar masses of the fluorides are:

SnF₄ = 117.710 + 4*18.998 = 193.702 g/mol

ZnF₂ = 65.409 + 2*18.998 = 103.405 g/mol

If we call x the number of moles of SnF₄, and y the number of moles of ZnF₂, the total mass can be calculated knowing that the mass is the number of moles multiplied by the molar mass:

193.702x + 103.405y = 2.489

The number of moles of Sn is the same as SnF₄ (1:1), and also the number of moles of Zn is the same as ZnF₂ (1:1), so the mass of the alloy:

117.710x + 65.409y = 1.540

if we multiply it by -1.581 and sum with the other equation:

117.710x*(-1.581) + 65.409y*(-1.581) + 193.702x + 103.405y = 1.540*(-1.581) + 2.489

7.60249x = 0.05426

x = 0.0071 mol of Sn

117.710*0.0071 + 65.409y = 1.540

65.409y = 0.704259

y = 0.0108 mol of Zn

The masses are the molar mass multiplied by the number of moles:

Sn: 117.710*0.0071 = 0.836 g

Zn: 65.409*0.0108 = 0.704 g

The percent composition is the mass of the substance divided by the total mass multiplied by 100%:

Sn: (0.836/1.540)*100% = 54.3%

Zn: (0.704/1.540)*100% = 45.7%

How many Liters of 0.50M HCl are needed to neutralize 0.050L of 0.101M Ba(OH)2?
Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer:

V_{HCl}=5.05x10^{-3}L

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, since hydrochloric acid and barium hydroxide are in a 2:1 molar ratio, for the neutralization, the following moles equality must be obeyed:

2*n_{HCl}=n_{Ba(OH)_2}

In such a way, in terms of molarities and volumes, we can compute the required volume of hydrochloric acid as shown below:

2*M_{HCl}V_{HCl}=M_{Ba(OH)_2}V_{Ba(OH)_2}\\\\V_{HCl}=\frac{M_{Ba(OH)_2}V_{Ba(OH)_2}}{2M_{HCl}} =\frac{0.101M*0.050L}{2*0.50M} \\\\V_{HCl}=5.05x10^{-3}L

Besr regards.

Boron has two isotopes, Boron 10 which has a mass of 10.0129 amu and Boron-11 with a mass of 11.0093 amu. B-10 occurs 84.74% of
podryga [215]

The average atomic mass of Boron: 10.431 amu

<h3>Further explanation   </h3>

Isotopes are atoms whose no-atom has the same number of protons while still having a different number of neutrons.  

So Isotopes are elements that have the same Atomic Number (Proton)  

Atomic mass is the average atomic mass of all its isotopes  

In determining the mass of an atom, as a standard is the mass of 1 carbon-12 atom whose mass is 12 amu  

Mass atom X = mass isotope 1 . % + mass isotope 2.%  + ...

The average atomic mass of boron :

\tt avg~mass=0.8474\times 10.0129+0.1526\times 11.0093\\\\avg~mass=10.431~amu

1. 2.0 mL/s x 4.0 hrs = ? L<br><br> How do you do this conversion problem
Phantasy [73]

Answer:

29 L.

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, considering that we are performing a conversion by which the time should be cancelled out to obtain liters, we first need to convert the seconds on bottom to hours and then the volume on top to liters, just a shown down below:

2.0\frac{mL}{s} *\frac{1L}{1000mL} *\frac{3600s}{1hr}*4.0hr\\\\=28.8L

Which turns out 29 L with 2 significant figures.

Best regards!
