Which of the following equations is balanced?

A 5.000 g mixture contains strontium nitrate and potassium bromide. Excess lead(II) nitrate solution is added to precipitate out

scZoUnD [109]

Answer: The mass percent of potassium bromide in the mixture is 9.996%

Explanation:

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$ .....(1)

For lead (II) bromide:

Given mass of lead (II) bromide = 0.7822 g

Molar mass of lead (II) bromide = 367 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\text{Moles of lead (II) bromide}=\frac{0.7822g}{367g/mol}=0.0021mol$

The chemical equation for the reaction of lead (II) nitrate and potassium bromide follows:

$2KBr+Pb(NO_3)_2\rightarrow PbBr_2+2KNO_3$

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

1 mole of lead (II) bromide is produced from 2 moles of potassium bromide

So, 0.0021 moles of lead (II) bromide will be produced from = $\frac{2}{1}\times 0.0021=0.0042mol$ of potassium bromide

Now, calculating the mass of potassium bromide by using equation 1, we get:

Molar mass of KBr = 119 g/mol

Moles of KBr = 0.0042 moles

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$0.0042mol=\frac{\text{Mass of KBr}}{119g/mol}\\\\\text{Mass of KBr}=0.4998g$

To calculate the percentage composition of KBr in the mixture, we use the equation:

$\%\text{ composition of KBr}=\frac{\text{Mass of KBr}}{\text{Mass of mixture}}\times 100$

Mass of mixture = 5.000 g

Mass of KBr = 0.4998 g

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\%\text{ composition of KBr}=\frac{0.4998g}{5.000g}\times 100=9.996\%$

Hence, the percent by mass of KBr in the mixture is 9.996 %

Ionic compounds are normally in which physical state at room temperature?

Ivahew [28]

Ionic compounds are normally in which physical state at room temperature in solid. The answer is A.

Ionic Compounds Are Balanced. Table salt is an example of an ionic compound. Sodium and chlorineions come together to form sodium chloride, or NaCl. The sodium atom in this compound loses an electron to become Na+, while the chlorine atom gains an electron to become Cl-.

Why do electrons transition between energy levels within the atom, and how do we detect these transitions?

Sedaia [141]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

Electrons transition between energy levels in an atom due to gain or loss of energy. An electron may gain energy and move from its ground state to one of the accessible excited states. The electron quickly returns to ground state, emitting the energy previously absorbed as a photon of light. The wavelength of light emitted is measured using powerful spectrometers.

Atoms can be excited thermally or by irradiation with light of appropriate frequency.
