A student attempts to separate 4.656 g of a sand/salt mixture just like you did in this lab. After carrying out the experiment,

she recovers 2.775 g of sand and 0.852 g of salt.a. What was the percent composition of sand in the mixture according to the student's data? b. What was the percent recovery?

Answer:

Explanation:

a ) Total mixture = 4.656 g

Sand recovered = 2.775 g

percent composition of sand in the mixture

= (2.775 g / 4.656 g ) x 100

= 59.6 % .

b )

Total of sand and salt recovered = 2.775 g + .852 g = 3.627 g .

Total mixture = 4.656 g

percent recovery = (3.627 / 4.656 ) x 100

= 77.9 % .

The molar mass of a solid carboxylic acid is determined by titrating a known mass of the acid with a standardized solution of Na
laiz [17]

The answer is: II.The endpoint is recorded when the solution is dark red in color rather than light pink.

The endpoint is the point at which the indicator changes colour in a colourimetric titration and that is point when titration must stop.  

Phenolphthalein is colorless in acidic solutions and pink in basic solutions. If  this indicator change color to dark red, more base is added and endpoint is not accurate.

If the the acid is spilled before titration, that does not make endpoint wrong and molar mass can be calculated.

In this example we can take acetic acid as carboxylic acid; basic salt sodium acetate CH₃COONa is formed from the reaction between weak acid (in this example acetic acid CH₃COOH) and strong base (in this example sodium acetate NaOH).  

Balanced chemical reaction of acetic acid and sodium hydroxide:  

CH₃COOH(aq) + NaOH(aq) → CH₃COONa(aq) + H₂O(l).  

Neutralization is is reaction in which an acid (in this example vinegar or acetic acid CH₃COOH) and a base react quantitatively with each other.

An antacid tablet contains 640.0 mg of magnesium oxide per tablet.
Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer:

317.6 mL

Explanation:

Step 1: Write the balanced neutralization equation

MgO + 2 HCl ⇒ MgCl₂ + H₂O

Step 2: Calculate the mass corresponding to 640.0 mg of MgO

The molar mass of MgO is 40.30 g/mol. The moles corresponding to 640.0 mg (0.6400 g) of MgO are:

0.6400 g × (1 mol/40.30 g) = 0.01588 mol

Step 3: Calculate the moles of HCl that react with 0.01588 moles of MgO

The molar ratio of MgO to HCl is 1:2. The moles of HCl are 2/1 × 0.01588 mol = 0.03176 mol

Step 4: Calculate the volume of 0.1000 M HCl that contains 0.03176 moles

0.03176 mol × (1 L/0.1000 mol) = 0.3176 L = 317.6 mL

How many Joules must be removed to condense 150.0g of steam at 100.0 degrees Celsius to water at 100.0 degrees celcius
Elina [12.6K]

Answer:

339kJ

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of steam  = 150g  = 0.15kg

Initial temperature of steam  = 100°C

Final temperature of water  = 100°C  

Unknown:

Quantity of heat that must be removed to condense the steam = ?

Solution:

The heat involved here is a latent heat because there is no change temperature. The process is just a phase change.

  H  = mL

m is the mass

L is the latent heat of vaporization  = 2,260 kJ/kg

Insert the parameters and solve;

 H = 0.15kg x 2,260 kJ/kg

 H  = 339kJ
