Joseph Proust showed that when elements combine to form new substances, they do so in specific mass ratios.a) trueb) false

Chemistry
1 answer:
olga55 [171]2 years ago
3 0

Answer: option A) True

Explanation:

Joseph Proust is the founder of the Law of Definite proportion. This law states that two elements will always combine together to form a chemical compound and this will be in the same proportion by mass.

For Example: 2 moles of Hydrogen (H2) ALWAYS combine with 1 atom of Oxygen (O) to yield water (H2O)

So, the answer is True

Can sedimentation and decantation be used for all types of mixtures? Explain
Bumek [7]

Explanation:

1. Sedimentation and decantation cannot be used for all types of mixtures.

Decantation is a separation technique in which is used to separate immiscible liquids or mixtures containing liquid and solids within them.

In decantation, gravity is used to bring the denser materials to settle at the bottom.

For homogenous mixtures, it is not possible to use decantation. A solution of sugar and water will not decant.

2. Yes, mass of an object reduces the settling time of such object in a mixture.

The higher the mass, the faster the rate of settling. Also, as we know, mass is directly proportional to density. A body with a high density will settle faster in solution.

How many grams of phosphorus are in a sample of Ca3(PO4)2 that contains 50.0 g of calcium? Answer: ________ grams of phosphorus.
wel

<u>Answer:</u> The mass of phosphorus that is present for given amount of calcium is 28.53 g.

<u>Explanation:</u>

We are given:

Mass of calcium = 50 grams

The chemical formula of calcium phosphate is Ca_3(PO_4)_2

Molar mass of calcium = 40 g/mol

Molar mass of phosphorus = 31 g/mol

In 1 mole of calcium phosphate, 120 grams of calcium is combining with 62 grams of phosphorus.

So, 50 grams of calcium will combine with = \frac{62}{120}\times 50=28.53g of phosphorus.

Hence, the mass of phosphorus that is present for given amount of calcium is 28.53 g.

A 110.0-mL sample of a solution that is 3.0×10−3 M in AgNO3 is mixed with a 230.0- mL sample of a solution that is 0.10 M in NaC
almond37 [142]

Answer:

[Ag⁺] = 0.0666M

Explanation:

For the addition of Ag⁺ and CN⁻, the (Ag(CN)₂⁻ is produced, thus:

Ag⁺ + 2CN⁻  ⇄  Ag(CN)₂⁻

Kf = 1x10²¹ = [Ag(CN)₂⁻] / [CN⁻]² [Ag⁺]

As initial concentrations of Ag⁺ and CN⁻ are:

[Ag⁺] = 0.110L × (3.0x10⁻³mol / L) = 3.3x10⁻⁴mol / (0.110L + 0.230L) = 9.7x10⁻⁴M

[CN⁻] = 0.230L × (0.1mol / L) = 0.023mol / (0.110L + 0.230L) = 0.0676M

The equilibrium concentrations of each compound are:

[CN⁻] = 9.7x10⁻⁴M - x

[Ag⁺] = 0.0676M - x

[Ag(CN)₂⁻] = x

<em>Where x is reaction coordinate</em>

Replacing in Kf formula:

1x10²¹ = [x] / [9.7x10⁻⁴M - x]² [0.0676M - x]

1x10²¹ = [x] / 6.36048×10⁻⁸ - 0.000132085 x + 0.06954 x² - x³

-1x10²¹x³ + 6.954x10¹⁹x² - 1.32085x10¹⁷ x + 6.36x10¹³ = x

-1x10²¹x³ + 6.954x10¹⁹x² - 1.32085x10¹⁷ x + 6.36x10¹³ = 0

Solving for x:

X = 9.614x10⁻⁴M

Thus, equilibrium concentration of Ag⁺ is:

[Ag⁺] = 0.0676M - 9.614x10⁻⁴M = <em>0.0666M</em>
