Determine the percent composition by mass of a 100g salt solution which contains 20g salt

Chemistry
2 answers:
prisoha [69]2 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Mass of solution=100g

mass of salt=20g

so; mass of solute=80g

percentage composition =(mass of salt/total

mass) ×100

=  \frac{20}{100}  \times 100 \\  = 20\%

glad to help you

hope it helps

The percent composition by mass of a 100g salt solution which contains 20g salt is \bold{16.6\%}

<u>Solution:</u>  

Percent composition is calculated as, weight of the solute divided by amount of solute added to 100 g is solution multiplied by 100.

\Rightarrow \frac{\text {weight of solute}(g)}{\text {weight of solute}(g)+\text {weight of solution(g)}} \times 100

Given, 100 g of salt solution with 20 g of salt  

Weight of the solute and solvent is 20 + 100 g = 120 g  

percent composition=\frac{20}{120} \times 100=\frac{200}{12}=16.6

\therefore \text { percent composition } =16.6 \%

PLEASE HELP ME I HAVE NO IDEA “Heat (thermal) energy is being applied to the substance whenever the Bunsen Burner is on. Before
svetlana [45]

TLDR: The energy was being used simply to heat the substance up.

Whenever something melts, it performs what is called a "phase transition", where the state of matter moves from one thing to something else. You can see this in your iced drink at lunch; as the ice in the cup of liquid heats up, it reaches a point where it will eventually "change phase", or melt. The same can be achieved if you heat up that water enough, like if you're cooking; when you boil eggs, the water has so much thermal energy it can "change phase" and become a gas!

However, water doesn't randomly become a boiling gas, it has to heat up for a while before it reaches that temperature. For a real-life example, the next time you cook something, hold you hand above the water before it starts boiling. You'll see that that water has quite a high temperature despite not boiling.

There's a lot of more complex chemistry to describe this phenomena, such as the relationship between the temperature, pressure, and what is called the "vapor pressure" of a liquid when describing phase changes, but for now just focus on the heating effect. When ice melts, it doesn't seem like its heating up, but it is. The ice absorbs energy from its surroundings (the warmer water), thus heating up the ice and cooling down the water. Similarly, the bunsen burner serves to heat up things in the lab, so before the solid melts in this case it was simply heating up the solid to the point that it <u>could</u> melt.

Hope this helps!

The final charge on each of the three separated spheres in part (b) is +3.0 μC. How many electrons would have to be added to one
marishachu [46]

Answer:

1.873\times 10^{13} electrons should be added to one of these spheres to make it electrically neutral.

Explanation:

Total charge on each sphere =  +3.0 μC =3\times 10^{-6} C

1 \mu C=10^{-6} C

In order to neutralize the positive charge equal magnitude of negative charge is to be added.

Total charge electrons, Q=  -3.0 μC =-3\times 10^{-6} C

Number of electrons = n

Charge on a single electron, e = -1.602\times 10^{-19} C

Q = n × e

-3\times 10^{-6} C=n\times (-1.602\times 10^{-19} C)

n=\frac{-3\times 10^{-6} C}{-1.602\times 10^{-19} C}=1.873\times 10^{13}

1.873\times 10^{13} electrons should be added to one of these spheres to make it electrically neutral.
