Calculate the percentage composition of lead(ii chloride (pbcl2. choose the correct percentages for pb and cl.

Chemistry

To do this, what we need to do is find the mass of PbCl2 as a whole, and the masses of Pb and Cl2 on their own.

So, the mass can be found by locating the atomic mass on the periodic table! It is that easy :)

The mass of Pb is 207.2
The mass of Cl2 is 70.906, since the mass is 35.453 and we have two of them.

When we add it together, the total mass of PbCl2 is 278.106, all we need to do is add the two masses we calculated before, together!

The formula for percent composition is:

element mass
---------------------- x 100
compound mass

So, lets do the % composition of Pb first. 

207.2
---------  
278.106

When we divide the two and multiply that answer by 100, we get 74.5%. So, the percent composition of Lead is 74.5%.

Now, lets do the same for Cl!

70.906
------------ x 100
278.106

The answer we get for that is 25.5%. So, that is the percent composition of Cl in PbCl2.

Hope I could help! :)

What is the idea behid boyles law​
zavuch27 [327]

Answer:

Explanation:

For a fixed mass of an ideal gas kept at a fixed temperature, pressure and volume are inversely proportional. Or Boyle's law is a gas law, stating that the pressure and volume of a gas have an inverse relationship. If volume increases, then pressure decreases and vice versa, when the temperature is held constant.

If Marie and Calvin dissolve 50 grams of KBr in 100 grams of water at 90oC, the solution is
hram777 [196]

Answer:

The solution is 50 %wt

Explanation:

50% wt is a sort of concentration and means, that 50 g of solute (in this case, the potassium bromide) dissolved in 100 g of water.

It is the same to say, that there are 50g of KBr for every 100g of H₂O

Use the iupac nomenclature rules to give the name for this compound - n2o3.
wel
  By  use   IUPAC  nomenclature   rule  compound  N2O3  is  named  as  

Dinitrogen  trioxide  (  answer  d)

Nitrogen (N2) is  named  before  oxygen(O3)  since    they  are  arranged  alphabetically.  In   addition  the  prefix  Di  is   used   infront  of  nitrogen  since    they  are  two  nitrogen  atoms   while  prefix  tri  is   used  infront  of  oxide  since  they  are 3   oxygen   atoms
