Hope this answers your question Mariaduong159

Radiometric Dating. It's used to find the dates of ricks and other objects based on what the known decay rate of radioactive isotopes. Different forms of this method can also estimate the age of natural and man-made materials.

Which of the following solutions would have [Fe3+] = 0.020 M?

Shalnov [3]

Answer:

None of the given options

Explanation:

Let's go case by case:

A. No matter the volume, the concentration of Fe(NO₃)₃ (and thus of [Fe³⁺] as well) is 0.050 M.

B. We can calculate the moles of Fe₂(SO₄)₃:

0.020 M * 0.80 L = 0.016 mol Fe₂(SO₄)₃

Given that there are two Fe⁺³ moles per Fe₂(SO₄)₃ mol, in the solution we have 0.032 moles of Fe⁺³. With that information in mind we <u>can calculate [Fe⁺³]</u>:

0.032 mol Fe⁺³ / 0.80 L = 0.040 M

C. Analog to case A., the molar concentration of Fe⁺³ is 0.040 M.

D. Similar to cases A and C., [Fe⁺³] = 0.010 M.

Thus none of the given options would have [Fe⁺³] = 0.020 M.

Which of the following equations has correct formulas and also is a balanced equation?

aliya0001 [1]

Answer : The correct option is, (B)

Explanation :

Balance equation : Balanced equation are those equation in which the number of atoms of each element and the total charge must be same on products side and reactants side.

In the given options, only option (B) equation has correct formula and also a balanced equation.

$2Be+O_2\rightarrow 2BeO$

while the other options has incorrect formulas and also an unbalanced equations.

The correct equation for option A is, $CaCO_3\rightarrow CaO+CO_2$

The correct equation for option C is, $2Mg+O_2\rightarrow 2MgO$

The correct equation for option D is, $KCl+HNO_3\rightarrow HCl+KNO_3$

Hence, the correct answer is, (B) $2Be+O_2\rightarrow 2BeO$

If you mix a 25.0mL sample of a 1.20m potassium sulfide solution with 15.0 mL of a 0.900m basium nitrate solution and the reacti

ddd [48]

Answer:

Limiting reagent: barium nitrate

Theoretical yield: 2.29 g BaS

Percent yield: 87%

Explanation:

The corrected balanced reaction equation is:

K₂S + Ba(NO₃)₂ ⇒ 2KNO₃ + BaS

The amount of potassium sulfide added is:

(25.0 mL)(1.20mol/L) = 30 mmol

The amount of barium nitrate added is:

(15.0mL)(0.900mol/L = 13.5 mmol

Since the reactant react in a 1:1 molar ratio, barium nitrate is the limiting reagent. If all of the limiting reagent reacts, the amount of barium sulfide produced is:

(13.5 mmol Ba(NO₃)₂)(BaS/Ba(NO₃)₂ ) = 13.5 mmol BaS

Converting this amount to grams gives the theoretical yield of BaS (molar mass 169.39 g/mol).

(13.5 mmol)(169.39 g/mol)(1g/1000mg) = 2.29 g BaS

The percent yield is calculated as follows:

(actual yield) / (theoretical yield) x 100%

(2.0 g) / (2.29 g) x 100% = 87%
