A) Answer is: 51.48% V and 48.52% O.

Ar(V) = 50.94; atomic weight of vanadium.

Ar(O) = 16; atomic weight of oxygen.

Ar(VO₃) = 50.94 + 3 · 16.

Ar(VO₃) = 98.94; molecular weight of vanadium (VI) oxide.

ω(V) = Ar(V) ÷ Ar(VO₃) · 100%.

ω(V) = 51.48%; the percent composition of vanadium.

ω(O) = 100% - 51.48%.

ω(O) = 48.52%; the percent composition of oxygen.

B) Answer is: 67.80% V and 32.20% O.

Ar(V) = 50.94; atomic weight of vanadium.

Ar(O) = 16; atomic weight of oxygen.

Ar(V₂O₅) = 2 · 50.94 + 5 · 16.

Ar(V₂O₅) = 149.88; molecular weight of vanadium (V) oxide.

ω(V) = 2 · Ar(V) ÷ Ar(V₂O₅) · 100%.

ω(V) = 67.80%; the percent composition of vanadium.

ω(O) = 100% - 67.80%.

ω(O) = 32.20%; the percent composition of oxygen.

Write the net ionic equation for the precipitation reaction that occurs when aqueous solutions of potassium hydroxide and nickel

Gnom [1K]

<u>Answer:</u> The net ionic equation is written below.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Net ionic equation of any reaction does not include any spectator ions.

Spectator ions are defined as the ions which does not get involved in a chemical equation. They are found on both the sides of the chemical reaction when it is present in ionic form.

The chemical equation for the reaction of nickel (II) acetate and potassium hydroxide is given as:

$Ni(CH_3COO)_2(aq.)+2KOH(aq.)\rightarrow 2CH_3COOK(aq.)+Ni(NO_3)_2(s)$

Ionic form of the above equation follows:

$Ni^{2+}(aq.)+2CH_3COO^-(aq.)+2K^+(aq.)+2OH^-(aq.)\rightarrow 2CH_3COO^-(aq.)+2K^+(aq.)+Ni(OH)_2(s)$

As, acetate and potassium ions are present on both the sides of the reaction. Thus, it will not be present in the net ionic equation and are spectator ions.

The net ionic equation for the above reaction follows:

$Ni^{2+}(aq.)+2OH^-(aq.)\rightarrow Ni(OH)_2(s)$

Hence, the net ionic equation is written above.

5.Are pure solids included in equilibrium expressions? Explain your answer.

tatiyna

Answer:

Pure solids or liquids are excluded from the equilibrium expression because their effective concentrations stay constant throughout the reaction. The concentration of a pure liquid or solid equals its density divided by its molar mass.

A metallurgist is making an alloy that consists of 325 grams of chromium (Cr) and 2.5 kg of iron (Fe). Find the total mass of th

Darya [45]

Answer:- Mass of the alloy is 2.8 kg.

Solution:- Mass of Cr in the alloy is 325 g and mass of Fe in the alloy is 2.5 kg. Mass of alloy would be the sum of masses of constituent metals.

Masses of the metals are not in the same units. So, we need to make the units equal. The want answer in kg so let's convert mass of Cr from g to kg.

Since, 1000 g = 1 kg

So, $325g\frac{1kg}{1000g}$

= 0.325 kg

Mass of alloy = mass of Cr + mass of Fe

mass of alloy = 0.325 kg + 2.5 kg = 2.825 kg

If we consider significant figures then as per the rules, the answer should not have more than one decimal place.

So, 2.825 kg is round off to 2.8 kg and hence the mass of the alloy is 2.8 kg.

What causes the difference in bond angles in carbon dioxide and water?

egoroff_w [7]

Answer is: C) the fact that the number of lone pairs of electrons on the central atom is greater in the case of water.

Carbon(IV) oxide is nonpolar because CO₂ is linear molecule and the oxygen atoms are symmetrical (bond angles 180°).

Water is polar because of the bent shape of the molecule.

Oxygen atom in water molecule has sp3 hybridization. The bond angle between the two hydrogen atoms is approximately 104.45°.

Oxygen atom has atomic number 8, it means it has eight protons and eight electrons, so atom has neutral charge. Oxygen is a nonmetal.

Electron configuration of oxygen atom: ₈O 1s² 2s² 2p⁴.

Oxygen atom has six valence electrons , two lone pairs and two electrons that form two sigma bonds with hydrogen atoms.

Carbon is a chemical element with symbol C and atomic number 6, which means it has 6 protons and six electrons. Four valence electrons are in 2s and 2p orbitals.

Electron configuration of carbon atom: ₆C 1s² 2s² 2p².

In carbon dioxide, carban has sp hybridization with no lone pairs.
