Answer:
Percentage mass of copper in the sample = 32%
Explanation:
Equation of the reaction producing Cu(NO₃) is given below:
Cu(s)+ 4HNO₃(aq) ---> Cu(NO₃)(aq) + 2NO₂(g) + 2H₂O(l)
From the equation of reaction, 1 mole of Cu(NO₃) is produced from 1 mole of copper. Therefore, 0.010 moles of Cu(NO₃) will be produced from 0.010 mole of copper.
Molar mass of copper = 64 g/mol
mass of copper = number of moles * molar mass
mass of copper = 0.01 mol * 64 g/mol = 0.64 g
Percentage by mass of copper in the 2.00 g sample = (0.64/2.00) * 100%
Percentage mass of copper in the sample = 32%
An aqueous solution in a 55 gallon (208 l drum), characterized by minimal buffering capacity, received 4kg of phenol and 1.5 kg of sodium phenate. What is the ph of the solution. The pka of phenol = 9.98. Mw of phenol and sodium phenate are 94 g/mol and 116 g/mol, respectively.
Volume of solution = 55 gallons = 208.2 L [ 1 gallon = 3.78 L]
moles of phenol = mass / molar mass = 4000 g / 94 = 42.55 moles
moles of sodium phenate = mass / molar mass = 1500 / 116 = 12.93 moles
pKa of phenol = 9.98
We know that the pH of buffer is calculated using Hendersen Hassalbalch's equation
pH = pKa + log [salt] / [acid]
volume is same for both the sodium phenate and phenol has we can directly take the moles of each in the formula
pH = 9.98 + log [12.93 / 42.55] = 9.46
Answer:
<em>Varying frequency</em> between both waves accounts for difference in speed.
Explanation:
The speed of a wave is dependent on four major factors:
- wavelength
- frequency
- medium, and
- temperature
Assuming equal temperature and medium of travel of these sound waves, and given that the wavelength (that is distance of travel) is equal, the only varying factor would be their frequency.
Wave speed is calculated by multiplying the wavelength times the frequency
⇒ Speed = λ * <em>f</em>
Answer:
See the answer below
Explanation:
<em>The carbon will have to travel in the form of CO2 from the atmosphere to a primary producer (green plant), from there to a primary consumer (herbivorous animal), and finally to a secondary consumer.</em>
The primary producer (a green plant) would fix the carbon in the CO2 to carbohydrate through a process known as photosynthesis. The equation of the process is as shown below:
The carbon, now in the form of carbohydrate, would then be picked up by an animal (a primary consumer) that feeds on the green plant. The carbon would eventually get into a secondary consumer when the secondary consumer feeds on the primary consumer that fed on the green plant.
Answer:
The answer to your question is: 17.26% of carbon
Explanation:
Data
CxHy = 0.2121 g
BaCO₃ = 0.6006 g
Molecular mass BaCO₃ = 137 + 12 + 48 = 197 g
Reaction
CO₂ + Ba(OH)₂ ⇒ BaCO₃ + H₂O
Process
1.- Find the amount of carbon in BaCO₃
197 g of BaCO₃ --------------- 12 g of Carbon
0.6006 g ---------------- x
x = (0.6006 x 12) / 197
x = 0.0366 g of carbon
2.- Calculate the percentage of carbon in the organic compound
0.2121 g of organic compound --------------- 100%
0.0366g -------------- x
x = (0.0366 x 100) / 0.2121
x = 17.26%
