Purification of chromium can be achieved by electrorefining chromium from an impure chromium anode onto a pure chromium cathode

in an electrolytic cell. How many hours will it take to plate 11.5 kg of chromium onto the cathode if the current passed through the cell is held constant at 38.0 A ? Assume the chromium in the electrolytic solution is present as Cr3+ .

Answer:

468 h

Explanation:

Let's consider the reduction of chromium (III) to chromium that occurs in the electrolytic purification.

Cr³⁺ + 3 e⁻ → Cr

We can establish the following relations.

  • 1 kg = 1,000 g
  • The molar mass of Cr is 52.00 g/mol
  • 1 mole of Cr is deposited when 3 moles of electrons circulate
  • The charge of 1 mole of electrons is 96,468 c (Faraday's constant)
  • 1 A = 1 c/s
  • 1 h = 3,600 s

The hours that will take to plate 11.5 kg of chromium onto the cathode if the current passed through the cell is held constant at 38.0 A is:

11.5kgCr \times \frac{1,000gCr}{1kgCr} \times \frac{1molCr}{52.00gCr} \times \frac{3mole^{-} }{1molCr} \times \frac{96,468c}{1mole^{-}}  \times \frac{1s}{38.0c} \times \frac{1h}{3,600s} = 468 h

A compound contains 6.0 g of carbon and 1.0 g of hydrogen and has a molar mass of 42.0 g/mol.
makvit [3.9K]

Answer:

%C = 85.71 wt%; %H = 14.29 wt%; Empirical Formula => CH₂; Molecular Formula => C₃H₆

Explanation:

%Composition

Wt C = 6 g

Wt H = 1 g

TTL Wt = 6g + 1g = 7g

%C per 100wt = (6/7)100% = 85.71 wt%

%H per 100wt = (1/7)100% = 14.29 wt % or, %H = 100% - %C = 100% - 85.71% = 14.29 wt% H

What you should know when working empirical formula and molecular formula problems.

Empirical Formula=> <u>smallest</u> whole number ratio of elements in a compound

Molecular Formula => <u>actual</u> whole number ratio of elements in a compound

Empirical Formula Weight x Whole Number Multiple = Molecular Weight

From elemental %composition values given (or, determined as above), the empirical formula type problem follows a very repeatable pattern. This is ...

% => grams => moles => ratio => reduce ratio => empirical ratio

for determination of molecular formula one uses the empirical weight - molecular weight relationship above to determine the whole number multiple for the molecular ratios.

Caution => In some 'textbook' empirical formula problems, the empirical ratio may contain a fraction in the amount of 0.25, 0.50 or 0.75. If such an issue arises, multiply all empirical ratio numbers containing 0.25 and/or 0.75 by '4'  to get the empirical ratio and multiply all empirical ration numbers containing 0.50 by '2' to get the final empirical ratio.

This problem:

Empirical Formula:

Using the % per 100wt values in part 'a' ...

              %     =>         grams                 =>                 moles

%C => 85.71% => 85.71 g* / 100 g Cpd => (85.71 / 12) = 7.14 mol C

%H => 14.29% => 14.29 g / 100 g Cpd => (14.29 / 1) = 14.29 mol H

=> Set up mole Ratio and Reduce to Empirical Ratio:

mole ratio C:H =>  7.14 : 14.29

<u>To reduce mole values to the smallest whole number ratio,  divide all mole values by the smaller mole value of the set.</u>

=> 7.14/7.14 : 14.29/7.14 => Empirical Ration=> 1 : 2

∴ Empirical Formula => CH₂

Molecular Formula:

(Empirical Formula Wt)·N = Molecular Wt => N = Molecular Wt / Empirical Wt

N = 42 / 14 = 3 => multiply subscripts of empirical formula by '3'.

Therefore, the molecular formula is C₃H₆

Chlorine is used to disinfect swimming pools. the accepted concentration for this purpose is 1.00 ppm chlorine, or 1.00 g of chl
frez [133]

The accepted concentration of chlorine is 1.00 ppm that is 1 gram of chlorine per million of water.

The volume of water is 2.29\times 10^{4} gal.

Since, 1 gal= 3785.41 mL

Thus, 2.29\times 10^{4} gal=2.29\times 10^{4}\times 3785.41 mL=8.66\times 10^{7}mL

Density of water is 1 g/mL thus, mass of water will be 8.66\times 10^{7}g.

Since, 1 grams of chlorine →10^{6} grams of water.

1 g of water →10^{-6} g of chlorine and,

8.66\times 10^{7}g of water →86.6 g of chlorine

Since, the solution is 9% chlorine by mass, the volume of solution will be:

V=\frac{100}{9}\times 86.6 mL=9.62\times 10^{2} mL

Thus, volume of chlorine solution is 9.62\times 10^{2} mL.

A silver necklace has a density of 10.5 g/mL and a volume of 1.5 mL. What is the mass of the silver necklace?
melamori03 [73]

Answer:

15.75g

Explanation:

Rearrange the formula: density = mass/volume, so that mass is the subject: mass = density × volume

Now substitute (plug in) the known values into the formula:

mass = 10.5 × 1.5 ⇒ mass = 15.75g

The mass of the silver necklace is 15.75g

Hope this helps!

Calculate the relative atomic mass of M
aalyn [17]

Answer:

63.55

Explanation:

relative atomic mass=(mass of isotope1×relative abundance)+(mass of isotope 2×relative abundance)/100

r.a.m=(62.93×69.09)+(64.93×30.91)/100

=(4347.8337)+(2006.9863)/100

=6354.82/100

=63.55
