Mass of Sulphur dioxide : 256 g

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

Reaction

S + O2 --> SO2 *

Required

Mass of Sulphur dioxide

Solution

mol of Sulphur (Ar=32 g/mol) :

mol = mass : Ar

mol = 128 : 32

mol = 4

From the equation, mol ratio S : SO2 = 1 : 1, so mol SO2 = 4

Mass of SO2 :

mass = mol x MW SO2

mass = 4 x 64

mass = 256 g

There is 35 mg of sodium in a can of Coke. You determine it to be 28 mg. What is your percent error?

natali 33 [55]

Answer:

The answer is

Explanation:

The percentage error of a certain measurement can be found by using the formula

$P(\%) = \frac{error}{actual \: \: number} \times 100\% \\$

From the question

actual volume = 35 mg

error = 35 - 28 = 7

The percentage error is

$P(\%) = \frac{7}{35} \times 100 \\ = \frac{1}{5} \times 100 \\ = 20$

We have the final answer as

Hope this helps you

What is the composition, in atom percent, of an alloy that consists of a) 5.5 wt% Pb and b) 94.5 wt% of Sn? Assume that the atom

Anastaziya [24]

Answer : The percent composition of Pb and Sn in atom is, 3.21 % and 96.8 % respectively.

Explanation :

First we have to calculate the number of atoms in 5.5 wt% Pb and 94.5 wt% of Sn.

As, 207.2 g of lead contains $6.022\times 10^{23}$ atoms

So, 5.5 g of lead contains $\frac{5.5}{207.2}\times 6.022\times 10^{23}=1.59\times 10^{22}$ atoms

and,

As, 118.71 g of lead contains $6.022\times 10^{23}$ atoms

So, 94.5 g of lead contains $\frac{94.5}{118.71}\times 6.022\times 10^{23}=4.79\times 10^{23}$ atoms

Now we have to calculate the percent composition of Pb and Sn in atom.

$\% \text{Composition of Pb}=\frac{\text{Atoms of Pb}}{\text{Atoms of Pb}+\text{Atoms of Sn}}\times 100$

$\% \text{Composition of Pb}=\frac{1.59\times 10^{22}}{(1.59\times 10^{22})+(4.79\times 10^{23})}\times 100=3.21\%$

and,

$\% \text{Composition of Sn}=\frac{\text{Atoms of Sn}}{\text{Atoms of Pb}+\text{Atoms of Sn}}\times 100$

$\% \text{Composition of Sn}=\frac{4.79\times 10^{23}}{(1.59\times 10^{22})+(4.79\times 10^{23})}\times 100=96.8\%$

Thus, the percent composition of Pb and Sn in atom is, 3.21 % and 96.8 % respectively.

Extend your thinking: The slow decay of radioactive materials can be used to find the age of rocks, fossils, and archaeological

lisov135 [29]

The age in years of the Egyptian papyrus, the Aboriginal charcoal, the Mayan headdress, and the Neanderthal skull are 4000 years, 13106.5years , 2040 years, and 30353 years respectively.

<h3>What is the half-life of a radioactive material?</h3>

The half-life of a radioactive material is the time taken for half the atoms present in the material to decay or disintegrate.

The half-life, $t_\frac{1}{2}$ , the age, t, and amount remaining, $A_{r}$ , of a radioactive material are related by the formula below:

$t = \frac{t_\frac{1}{2}*A_{r}}{-ln2}$

Half-life of carbon-14 = 6000 years

For the Egyptian papyrus with 63% of its original carbon-14 atoms: $t = \frac{6000*0.63}{-0.63} = 4000\:years$

For the Aboriginal charcoal with 22% of its original carbon-14 atoms:

$t = \frac{6000*0.22}{-0.63} = 13106.5\:years$

For the Mayan headdress with 79% of its original carbon-14 atoms:

$t = \frac{6000*0.79}{-0.63} = 2040\:years$

Neanderthal skull with 3% of its original carbon-14 atoms:

$t = \frac{6000*0.03}{-0.63} = 30353\:years$

Therefore, the age in years of the Egyptian papyrus, the Aboriginal charcoal, the Mayan headdress, and the Neanderthal skull are 4000 years, 13106.5years , 2040 years, and 30353 years respectively.

The final electron acceptor of the electron transport chain that functions in aerobic oxidative phosphorylation is The final ele

MissTica

Answer:

The final electron acceptor of the electron transport chain is oxygen

Explanation:

Four electrons gotten from cytochrome c are involved in the conversion of a molecule of oxygen (O2) to two molecules of water (H2O). This final electron transfer occurs in complex IV. Complex IV, also known as cytochrome c oxidase, facilitates the the use of four protons from the matrix of the mitochondrion, in the production of water molecules while pumping four protons to the intermembrane space of the mitochondrion.
