I have a free response question due for an Ap Chemistry class. It states, an experiment is to be performed to determine the mass

percent of silver in a sample of the alloy, sterling silver. The equipment shown above is available for the experiment. A drying oven is also available. The equipment is (Beaker, Side arm flask, Buchner Funnel, Distilled Water, Graduated Cylinder, NaCl, 8M HNO3, Stir rod, Analytical Balance, Ring Stand, and a Ring). The questions they asked are, a) Briefly list the steps necessary to carry out this experiment, b) What measurements need to be collected to calculate the mass percent of silver in the sterling silver sample? c) List the calculations necessary to determine the mass percent of silver in the sterling silver sample, and d) Would NaBr be an acceptable substitute for the NaCl provided for this experiment? Explain. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Answer:

Hi AP Chemistry student. It seems this experiment is impossible. Sterling Silver cannot be separated so easily with this pathetic equipment. However, if one were to carry this experiment out, I would assume they would need to put the alloy in the graduated cylinder and then somehow filter the silver out through filter paper or Buchner funnel. taking the mass with a stir rod is also helpful for the mass percent calculation. I hope this helps you out, good luck in Mrs. Fischer's class :)

What is the identity of an alpha particle?
Marianna [84]

Answer: It is a helium nuclei.

Explanation: Alpha particles are produced when a larger nuclei decays into smaller nuclei in radioactive decay. Alpha particles have mass number and atomic number as 4 and 2 respectively.

General representation of alpha decay :

_Z^A\textrm{X}\rightarrow _{Z-2}^{A-4}Y+_2^4\textrm{He}

What is the largest number that can be added to 6.022x10^23 without changing its displayed value?
Juli2301 [7.4K]
<span>The Avogadro constant, named after the scientist Amedeo Avogadro, is the number of constituent particles, usually atoms or molecules, that are contained in the amount of substance given by one mole. The answer, in this case, would be 0.0004999...*10^23 = (10^19)*(4.999... [any finite number of 9s]).</span>

What is the total number of electron pairs shared between the carbon atom and one of the oxygen atoms in a carbon dioxide molecu
TEA [102]
The answer is 2 pairs. The carbon atom has 4 electrons and oxygen atom has 6 electrons. The purpose of shared electron is to get 8 electrons at the outer layer. So the carbon atom needs to share 4 electrons which is 2 pairs with oxygen to be stable.

If a solution containing 51.429 g of mercury(ii) perchlorate is allowed to react completely with a solution containing 16.642 g
OLga [1]
Hg(No3)2  +NaSO4   --->2NaNO3  +  HgSO4(s)
calculate  the moles  of   each  reactant
moles=mass/molar  mass

moles of  Hg(NO3)2=  51.429g/  324.6  g/mol(molar  mass  of  Hg(NO3)2)=0.158  moles

moles Na2SO4  16.642g/142g/mol=  0.117  moles  of  Na2SO4

Na2SO4  is  the  limiting  reagent in  the   equation   and  by  use  mole  ratio  Na2So4  to  HgSO4  is  1:1   therefore  the  moles  of  HgSO4  =0.117  moles

mass  of  HgSO4=moles  x  molar   mass  of  HgSo4=  0.117 g x  303.6g/mol=  35.5212  grams
