I need help with balancing equations

Calculate the percent of each component in the mixture. Show your calculations. Circle final answers.

Colt1911 [192]

Answer:

See Explanation

Explanation:

The question is incomplete; as the mixtures are not given.

However, I'll give a general explanation on how to go about it and I'll also give an example.

The percentage of a component in a mixture is calculated as:

$\%C_E = \frac{E}{T} * 100\%$

Where

E = Amount of element/component

T = Amount of all elements/components

Take for instance:

In $(Ca(OH)_2)$

The amount of all elements is: (i.e formula mass of $(Ca(OH)_2)$ )

$T = 1 * Ca + 2 * H + 2 * O$

$T = 1 * 40 + 2 * 1 + 2 * 16$

$T = 74$

The amount of calcium is: (i.e formula mass of calcium)

$E = 1 * Ca$

$E = 1 * 40$

$E = 40$

So, the percentage component of calcium is:

$\%C_E = \frac{E}{T} * 100\%$

$\%C_E = \frac{40}{74} * 100\%$

$\%C_E = \frac{4000}{74}\%$

$\%C_E = 54.05\%$

The amount of hydrogen is:

$E = 2 * H$

$E = 2 * 1$

$E = 2$

So, the percentage component of hydrogen is:

$\%C_E = \frac{E}{T} * 100\%$

$\%C_E = \frac{2}{74} * 100\%$

$\%C_E = \frac{200}{74}\%$

$\%C_E = 2.70\%$

Similarly, for oxygen:

The amount of oxygen is:

$E = 2 * O$

$E = 2 * 16$

$E = 32$

So, the percentage component of oxygen is:

$\%C_E = \frac{E}{T} * 100\%$

$\%C_E = \frac{32}{74} * 100\%$

$\%C_E = \frac{3200}{74}\%$

$\%C_E = 43.24\%$

How does radioactive isotopes decay?

aksik [14]

They can decay through one of three ways:
alpha decay
beta decay and
gamma decay
ALPHA- particle with two neutrons and two protons is ejected from the nucleus of the radioactive atom. this particle released is called an alpha particle. Only occurs with heavy metals.
BETA- pretty much when a proton is transformed into a neutron, or vise versa. in a beta minus decay, the nuetron decays into a proton and in a beta plus decay, a proton decays into a neutron
GAMMA- the nucleus changes from a high energy state to a low energy state by releasing electromagnetic radiation (photons). the number of protons and neutrons stay the same during this reaction therefore the element is still the same.

How would you know if a precipitate was formed without performing the chemical reaction

Goshia [24]

Hey there

Thats easy

Precipitation occurs when cations and anions in aqueous solution combine to form an insoluble ionic compound called precipitation. So, you can refer to a solubility chart or draw polar/nonpolar lewis structures, that might be helpful.
Remember water is polar so polar molecules will dissolve in water

A chemist mixes 71.1 g of carbon tetrachloride with 65.4 g of isopropenylbenzene and 4.02 g of 2-ethyltoluene. Calculate the per

-Dominant- [34]

Answer:

% Carbon tetrachloride = 50.6 %

% isopropenylbenzene = 46.5 %

% 2-ethyltoluene = 2.9%

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

A mixture contains:

71.1 grams of Carbon tetrachloride (CCl4)

65.4 grams of isopropenylbenzene (C9H10)

4.02 grams of 2-ethyltoluene (C9H12)

Step 2: Calculate total mass

Total mass = mass CCl4 + mass C9H10 + mass C9H12

Totam mass = 71.1g + 65.4g + 4.02g

Total mass = 140.52 grams

Step 3: Calculate % of each component:

% component = (mass component/ total mass) *100%

% Carbon tetrachloride = (71.1 / 140.52) *100 %

% Carbon tetrachloride = 50.6 %

% isopropenylbenzene = (65.4 / 140.52) *100%

% isopropenylbenzene = 46.5 %

% 2-ethyltoluene = (4.02/140.52) *100%

% 2-ethyltoluene = 2.9%

50.6% + 46.5% + 2.9% = 100%
