Why is potassium sulfate K2SO4, but strontium sulfate SrSO4?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Oksi-84 [34.3K]3 years ago

The sulphate ion has a charge of 2-, and potassium has a charge of 1+. To fully neutralise the charge on a sulphate ion, you need two potassium ions. 

However, strontium has a charge of 2+. To neutralise the sulphate ion's 2- charge, one strontium ion is enough, so only one bonds to the sulphate.

Hope I helped! xx

horrorfan [7]
I am going to go with,

0.10 g/mL
0.0700 g/mL
0.0447 g/mL

I don't know if this is the correct answer, but I am 80% sure that it may be.

Which would exert more pressure on the floor, a 100kg man wearing snow shoes or a 60kg woman wearing high heels? PLEASE EXPLAIN
iris [78.8K]

Pressure can be defined as the force acting on a perpendicular surface per unit area.

Force exerted by a man of mass 100 kg wearing snow shoes = m.a

Where m = mass of the man = 100 kg

a = acceleration due to gravity= 9.8 m/s^{2}

Force exerted by the man of mass 100 kg = 100 kg(9.8 m/s^{2}) = 980 N

Force exerted by woman of mass 60 kg = 60 kg(9.8 m/s^{2}) = 588 N

Force exerted by 100 kg man is greater than that exerted as 60 kg woman. The area on which this force is acting determines the pressure. Pressure is inversely proportional to the area on which the force acts. Therefore, the pressure exerted by 100 kg man wearing snow shoes is less than the pressure exerted by a 60 kg woman woman wearing high heels as the force acts over a larger area when the man wears snow shoes when compared to the force exerted over a smaller area in case of the woman wearing high heels.

How many grams of solid NaOH are required to prepare a 400ml of a 5N solution? show your work!
Nuetrik [128]

<u>Answer:</u> The mass of solid NaOH required is 80 g

<u>Explanation:</u>

Equivalent weight is calculated by dividing the molecular weight by n factor. The equation used is:

\text{Equivalent weight}=\frac{\text{Molecular weight}}{n}

where,

n = acidity for bases = 1 (For NaOH)

Molar mass of NaOH = 40 g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\text{Equivalent weight}=\frac{40g/mol}{1eq/mol}=40g/eq

Normality is defined as the umber of gram equivalents dissolved per liter of the solution.

Mathematically,

\text{Normality of solution}=\frac{\text{Number of gram equivalents} \times 1000}{\text{Volume of solution (in mL)}}

Or,

\text{Normality of solution}=\frac{\text{Given mass}\times 1000}{\text{Equivalent mass}\times \text{Volume of solution (in mL)}}         ......(1)

We are given:

Given mass of NaOH = ?

Equivalent mass of NaOH = 40 g/eq

Volume of solution = 400 mL

Normality of solution = 5 eq/L

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

5eq/L=\frac{\text{Mass of NaOH}\times 1000}{40g/eq\times 400mL}\\\\\text{Mass of NaOH}=80g

Hence, the mass of solid NaOH required is 80 g
