You have a piece of gold jewelry weighing 9.35g. Its volume is 0.654cm 3 . Assume the metal is an alloy of gold and silver, whic

h have densities of 19.3g/cm 3 and 10.5g/cm 3 , respectively. Also assume that there is no change in volume when the pure metals are mixed. Calculate the percentage of gold (by mass) in the alloy.

Answer:

57.54% is the percentage of gold by mass in the alloy.

Explanation:

The mass of the mixture is 9.35g. That is:

9.35g = Mass Gold + Mass Silver

Mass silver = 9.35g - Mass gold (1)

Now, the volume of the jewelry is the sum of volumes of gold and silver:

0.654cm³ = Mass Gold / 19.5g/cm³ + Mass silver / 10.5g/cm³ (2)

<em>Volume = Mass / Density.</em>

Replacing (1) in (2):

0.654cm³ = Mass Gold / 19.5g/cm³ + (9.35g - Mass gold) / 10.5g/cm³

0.654 = 0.051282 Mass Gold + 0.890476 - 0.095238 Mass gold

-0.236476 = -0.043956 Mass gold

Mass gold = 5.38g

And mass percent of gold in the alloy is:

5.38g / 9.35g * 100 =

<h3>57.54%</h3>

The balanced reaction is 3 Ca ( s ) + N 2 ( g )  →  Ca 3 N 2 ( s ).

<u>Explanation</u>:

A chemical equation is said to be balanced when the total number of atoms present on the reactants side is equal to the total number of atoms present on the product side.

The unbalanced chemical equation is as follows,

                             Ca ( s ) + N 2 ( g )  →  Ca 3 N 2 ( s )

To balance this equation, you need to look at how many atoms of each element are present on each side of the chemical equation.

 Calcium has  1  atom on the reactant and  3  on the products side. To balance the reaction we need to multiply the calcium atom by  3  on the reactants side.

                            3 Ca ( s ) + N 2 ( g )  →  Ca 3 N 2 ( s )    

Now  Nitrogen has a coefficient of  2  on both sides of the reaction. Hence the balanced chemical equation will thus be

                              3 Ca ( s ) + N 2 ( g )  →  Ca 3 N 2 ( s )

What do ionic compounds form
Snowcat [4.5K]

Answer:

By the result of the formation of positive and negative ions, Ionic compounds are formed.

Explanation:

Electrons are actually transferred from one atom to another to form rare gas electron structures for each ion. The atom which forms a positive ion loses electrons to the atom which gains electrons to form a negative ion. A compound is not stable unless the number of electrons which are lost and gained are equal

For the reaction: 2H2O2 --&gt; 2H2 + 2O2, what is the total number of moles of O2 produced from the complete decomposition of 8
Softa [21]
2 H₂O₂ --> 2 H₂ + 2 O₂

2 moles H₂O₂ ------> 2 moles O₂
8 moles H₂O₂ ------> ?

moles O₂ = 8 x 2 / 2

moles O₂ = 16 / 2

= 8 moles

Answer C

hope this helps!

Consider the balanced equation below. 4NH3 + 3O2 --&gt; 2N2 + 6H2O What is the mole ratio of NH3 to N2?
AURORKA [14]
The balanced equation given is:
4NH3 + 3O2 .....> 2N2 + 6H2O

From this equation, we can note that 4 moles of NH3 are required to produce 2 moles of N2.

Therefore, the mole ratio of NH3 to N2 is 4:2 which can be simplified into 2:1
