Answer:

b) Silicon and oxygen

Explanation:

A compound is a pure substance that contains two or more atoms chemically joined together. Sand is regarded as a 'compound' because it is made up of two or more atoms that are chemically bonded to one another.

Sand is said to predominantly contain silica, which has a chemical formula of SiO2. Hence, sand can be said to be a compound containing one atom of silicon (Si) and two atoms of oxygen (O2).

dimulka [17.4K]

Answer:

-85 °C

Explanation:

O and S are in the same group( Group 16). Since S is below O it's atomic mass is higher than O. So molar mass of H2S is higher than H2O. The strength of Vanderwaal Interactions ( London dispersion forces) increases when the molar mass increases. However, only H2O can form H bonds with each other. This is because electronegativity of O is higher than S and therefore H in H2O has a higher partial positive charge than H of H2S.

H bond dominate among these 2 types of forces so the strength of attractions between molecules is higher in H2O than H2S. Therefore more energy should be supplied for H2O to break inter

molecular forces and convert from solid to liquid state than H2S. So mpt of H2O must be higher than that of H2S.

Write the fraction of the mass of kcl produced from 1 g of k2c03

Minchanka [31]

Mass of KCl= 1.08 g

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

1 g of K₂CO₃

Required

Mass of KCl

Solution

Reaction

K₂CO₃ +2HCl ⇒ 2KCl +H₂O + CO₂

mol of K₂CO₃(MW=138 g/mol) :

= 1 g : 138 g/mol

= 0.00725

From the equation, mol ratio K₂CO₃ : KCl = 1 : 2, so mol KCl :

= 2/1 x mol K₂CO₃

= 2/1 x 0.00725

= 0.0145

Mass of KCl(MW=74.5 g/mol) :

= mol x MW

= 0.0145 x 74.5

= 1.08 g

By titration, it is found that 31.7 mL of 0.145 M NaOH(aq) is needed to neutralize 25.0 mL of HCl(aq). Calculate the concentrati

arlik [135]

Answer:

0.184 M

Explanation:

We'll begin by writing the balanced equation for the reaction. This is illustrated below:

HCl + NaOH —> NaCl + H2O

From the balanced equation above, the following data were obtained:

Mole ratio of the acid, HCl (nA) = 1

Mole ratio of the base, NaOH (nB) = 1

Next, the data obtained from the question. This includes:

Volume of the base, NaOH (Vb) = 31.7 mL Molarity of the base, NaOH (Mb) = 0.145 M

Volume of the acid, HCl (Va) = 25.0 mL

Molarity of the acid, HCl (Ma) =?

Finally, we shall determine the molarity of the acid (HCl) as shown below:

MaVa /MbVb = nA/nB

Ma × 25 / 0.145 × 31.7 = 1

Cross multiply

Ma × 25 = 0.145 × 31.7

Ma × 25 = 4.5965

Divide both side by 25

Ma = 4.5965 / 25

Ma = 0.184 M

Therefore, the molarity of the acid (HCl) is 0.184 M
