Answer:

Atomic mass of E is 128.24

Explanation:

  • The percentage composition by mass of an element in a compound is given by dividing the mass of the element by the total mass of the compound and expressing it as a percentage.
  • In this case; the compound Bi₂E₃

Percentage composition of bismuth = 52.07%

Percentage composition of E = 47.93%

Mass Bismuth in the compound is (2×208.9804) = 417.96 g

Therefore,

To calculate the atomic mass of E

52.07% = 417.96 g

47.93% = ?

            = (47.93 × 417.96 ) ÷ 52.07 %

            = 384.729

         E₃ = 384.729

Therefore; E = 384.729 ÷ 3

                     = 128.24  

The atomic mass of E is 128.24

nirvana33 [79]

Answer:

pH = 12.15

Explanation:

To determine the pH of the HCl and KOH mixture, we need to know that the reaction is  a neutralization type.

HCl  +  KOH  →  H₂O  +  KCl

We need to determine the moles of each compound

M = mmol / V (mL) → 30 mL . 0.10 M = 3 mmoles of HCl

M = mmol / V (mL) → 40 mL . 0.10 M = 4 mmoles of KOH

The base is in excess, so the HCl will completely react and we would produce the same mmoles of KCl

HCl  +  KOH  →  H₂O  +  KCl

3 m       4 m                       -

             1 m                      3 m

As the KCl is a neutral salt, it does not have any effect on the pH, so the pH will be affected, by the strong base.

1 mmol of KOH has 1 mmol of OH⁻, so the [OH⁻] will be 1 mmol / Tot volume

[OH⁻] 1 mmol / 70 mL = 0.014285 M

- log [OH⁻] = 1.85 → pH = 14 - pOH → 14 - 1.85 = 12.15
