Answer:

The atoms are vibrating in place.

Explanation:

One of the properties of an ionic substance is the possession of a crystalline structure. As Gerry observed the salt under a microscope, he discovered that it has a crystalline structure. Crystalline salts are all ionic in nature, hence the salt observed by Gerry is an ionic salt.

Solids containing a definite crystalline structure always has their particles vibrating in place. This is immediately evident as Gerry looks at the salt through a microscope.

The rock in a lead ore deposit contains 89 % PbS by mass. How many kilograms of the rock must be processed to obtain 1.5 kg of P

Zolol [24]

Answer:

Approximately 1.9 kilograms of this rock.

Explanation:

Relative atomic mass data from a modern periodic table:

Pb: 207.2;
S: 32.06.

To answer this question, start by finding the mass of Pb in each kilogram of this rock.

89% of the rock is $\rm PbS$ . There will be 890 grams of $\rm PbS$ in one kilogram of this rock.

Formula mass of $\rm PbS$ :

$M(\mathrm{PbS}) = 207.2 + 32.06 = 239.26\; g\cdot mol^{-1}$ .

How many moles of $\rm PbS$ formula units in that 890 grams of $\rm PbS$ ?

$\displaystyle n = \frac{m}{M} = \rm \frac{890}{239.26} = 3.71980\; mol$ .

There's one mole of $\rm Pb$ in each mole of $\rm PbS$ . There are thus $\rm 3.71980\; mol$ of $\rm Pb$ in one kilogram of this rock.

What will be the mass of that $\rm 3.71980\; mol$ of $\rm Pb$ ?

$m(\mathrm{Pb}) = n(\mathrm{Pb}) \cdot M(\mathrm{Pb}) = \rm 3.71980 \times 207.2 = 770.743\; g = 0.770743\; kg$ .

In other words, the $\rm PbS$ in 1 kilogram of this rock contains $\rm 0.770743\; kg$ of lead $\rm Pb$ .

How many kilograms of the rock will contain enough $\rm PbS$ to provide 1.5 kilogram of $\rm Pb$ ?

$\displaystyle \frac{1.5}{0.770743} \approx \rm 1.9\; kg$ .

C16H32O2(aq) --> 16CO2(g) + 16H2O(l) ... said its wrong though?
This is because you haven't added any oxygen needed for the combustion, so your equation does'nt balance. Also a solution in water [aq] doesn't burn! 
Try C16H32O2(s) + 23O2(g) --> 16CO2(g) + 16H2O(l)
