A 0.3146 g sample of a mixture of NaCl ( s ) and KBr ( s ) was dissolved in water. The resulting solution required 45.70 mL of 0

.08765 M AgNO 3 ( aq ) to precipitate the Cl − ( aq ) and Br − ( aq ) as AgCl ( s ) and AgBr ( s ).Calculate the mass percentage of NaCl(s) in the mixture.

Answer:

The answer to the question is

The mass percentage of NaCl(s) in the mixture is 49.7%

Explanation:

The given variables are

mass of sample of mixture = 0.3146 g

Volume of AgNO₃ required to react comletely with the chloride ions = 45.70 mL

Concentration of the AgNO₃ added = 0.08765 M

The equations for the reactions oare

NaCl(aq) + AgNO₃ (aq) = AgCl(s) + NaNO₃(aq)

AgNO₃ (aq) + KBr (aq) → AgBr (s) + KNO₃

The equation for the reaction shows one mole of NaCl reacts with one mole of AgNO₃ to form one mole of AgCl

Thus 45.70 mL of 0.08765 M solution of AgNO₃ contains\frac{45.7}{1000} (0.08765) = 0.004 moles

Therefore the sum of the number of moles of Br⁻ and Cl⁻

precipitated out of the solution =  0.004 moles

Thus if the mass of NaCl in the sample = z then the mass of KBr = y

However the mass of the sample is given as 0.3146 g which  means the molarity of the solution is 0.004 moles

given by

\frac{z}{58.44} + \frac{y}{119} = 0.004 moles  and z + y = 0.3146

Therefore z = 0.3146 - y which gives

\frac{(0.3146-y)}{58.44} + \frac{y}{119} = 0.004 moles

-8.7×10⁻³y +0.54×10⁻³ = 0.004

or 8.7×10⁻³y = 1.37769× 10⁻³

y = 0.158 g and z = 0.156 Thus the mass of NaCl = 0.156 g and the mass percentage = 0.156/0.3146×100 = 49.7% NaCl

The mass percentage of NaCl(s) in the mixture is 49.7%

What was Thompson’s model of the atom called
shtirl [24]

J. J. Thomson, who discovered the electron in 1897, proposed the plum pudding model of the atom in 1904 before the discovery of the atomic nucleus in order to include the electron in the atomic model. In Thomson's model, the atom is composed of electrons (which Thomson still called “corpuscles,” though G. J.
