Answer: Option (B) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

The given compound is $K_{2}SO_{4}$ , that is, it contains potassium $(K^{+})$ and sulphate $(SO^{2-}_{4})$ ions.

Charge on a sulphate ion is -2 and charge on two potassium ions is +2. Therefore, according to cross multiplication method it results in the formation of $K_{2}SO_{4}$ .

Thus, we can conclude that chemical name of the compound is potassium sulfate.

A 1.775g sample mixture of potassium hydrogen carbonate is decomposed by heating. if the mass loss is 0.275g what is the percent

Marina86 [1]

A 1.775g sample mixture of KHCO₃ is decomposed by heating. if the mass loss is 0.275g, the mass percentage of KHCO₃ is 70.4%.

<h3>What is a decomposition reaction?</h3>

A decomposition reaction can be defined as a chemical reaction in which one reactant breaks down into two or more products.

Step 1: Write the balanced equation for the decomposition of KHCO₃.

2 KHCO₃(s) → K₂CO₃(s) + CO₂(g) + H₂O(l)

The mass loss of 0.275 g is due to the gaseous CO₂ that escapes the sample.

Step 2: Calculate the mass of KHCO₃ that formed 0.275 g of CO₂.

In the balanced equation, the mass ratio of KHCO₃ to CO₂ is 200.24:44.01.

0.275 g CO₂ × 200.24 g KHCO₃/44.01 g CO₂ = 1.25 g KHCO₃

Step 3: Calculate the mass percentage of KHCO₃ in the sample.

There are 1.25 g of KHCO₃ in the 1.775 g sample.

%KHCO₃ = 1.25 g/1.775 g × 100% = 70.4%

A 1.775g sample mixture of KHCO₃ is decomposed by heating. if the mass loss is 0.275g, the mass percentage of KHCO₃ is 70.4%.

elixir [45]

Answer:

Hello your question is poorly written below is the well written question

Uranium, an important component of both nuclear weapons and nuclear reactors, has two major isotopes, U-238, which has a half-life of approximately 4.5 billion years, and U-235, which has a half-life of approximately 700 million years. Both were present in equal amounts at the time of the creation of the Earth, 4.5 billion years ago. How many years after the creation of the Earth had the amount of radiation from uranium decayed to half the amount present at the time of the creation of the Earth

Answer : 140 billion years

Explanation:

Given that :

U-238 h1/2 = 4.5 billion years

U-235 h1/2 = 700 million years

At the beginning both Isotopes where present in equal amount

Determine the T years before the amount of Uranium decays to Half

T = ? N'2 = N1 / 2

we know that N = No ( 1/2 )^h where h = time / half-life time

attached below is the detailed solution of the given problem

The use of phenol (carbolic acid) as a wound disinfectant was first practiced by:

uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

The use of phenol (carbolic acid) as a wound disinfectant was first practiced by Lister. The correct option is E

Explanation:

Phenol( carbolic acid) is an aromatic organic compound. It has the following properties:

- it's soluble in water

- it's a weak acid and

- highly reactive toward electrophilic aromatic substitution

In Medical field, phenol was first used as an antiseptic by Joseph Lister.Joseph Lister was a student at University College London under Robert Liston, later rising to the rank of Surgeon at Glasgow Royal Infirmary. He believed that patients who passed through surgery, died due to infections caused by microorganisms.He theorized that if germs could be killed or prevented, no infection would occur. Lister reasoned that a chemical could be used to destroy the micro-organisms that cause infection. He made use of the carbolic acid by soaking a clean cloth in them, and placing it over the surgical wounds of patients.

A slurry of flakes soybeans weighing a total of 100 kg contains 75 kg of inert solids and 25 kg of solution with 10 wt% oil and

lubasha [3.4K]

Answer:

the amounts and compositions of the overflow V1 and underflow L1 leaving the stage are 75kg and 125kg respectively.

Explanation:

Let state the given parameters;

Let A= solvent (hexane)

B= solid(inert soiid)

C= solvent(oil)

$F_{solution}$ = mass of solvent + mass of oil (i.e A+C)

<u>Feed Phase:</u>

Total feed (i.e slurry of flakes soybeans)= 100kg

B= mass of solid =75 kg

F= mass of solvent + mass of oil (i.e A+C)

= 25kg

Mass ratio of oil to solution $Y_{F}$ = $\frac{Mass C}{Mass (A+C)}$

mass of oil (C) =25 × 0.1 wt = 2.5kg

mass of hexane in feed = 25 × 0.9 =22.5kg + 2.5 =25kg

therefore $Y_{F}$ = $\frac{2.5}{25}$

= 0.1

mass ratio of solid to solution $Y_{A}$ = $\frac{Mass A}{Mass (A+C)}=[tex]\frac{75}{25}$

<u>Solvent Phase:</u>

C= Mass of oil= 0(kg)

A= Mass of hexane = 100kg

mass of solutions = A+C = 0+100kg

solvent= 100kg

<u>Underflow:</u>

underflow = L₁ = (unknown) ???

L₁ = E₁ + B

the value of N for the outlet and underflow is 1.5 kg

i.e N₁ = $\frac{mass B}{mass(A+C)}$

solution in underflow E₁ = Mass (A+C)

<u>Overflow:</u>

Overflow = V₁ = (unknown) ???

solution in overflow V₁ = Mass (A+C)

This is because, B = 0 in overflow

Solid Balance: (since the solid is inert, then is said to be same in feed & underflow).

solid in feed = solid in underflow = 75

75= E₁ × N₁

75 = E₁ × 1.5

E₁ = 50kg

Underflow L₁ = E₁ × B

= 50 + 75

=125kg

The Overall Balance: Feed + Solvent = underflow + overflow

100 + 100 = 125 + V₁

V₁ = 75kg
