Answer:

24.66%

Explanation:

To find the percent of water (H2O) in the following compound: Zn3(PO4)2. 7H2O

The atomic mass of the elements are as follows:

Zn = 65g/mol

P = 31g/mol

O = 16g/mol

H = 1g/mol

Hence, molar mass of the compound is as follows:

65(3) + {31 + 16(4)} 2 + 7{1(2) + 16}

195 + 95(2) + 7(18)

195 + 190 + 126

511g/mol

Molar mass of 7H2O

= 7(18)

= 126g/mol

Hence, the percent of H2O in the compound is:

Molar Mass of 7H2O/molar mass of compound × 100

= 126/511 × 100

= 0.2466 × 100

= 24.66%

Why does determining volume work only for a regular shaped object

Kitty [74]

Answer:

Because only regular-shaped objects have a consistent length, width, height, and shape.

Explanation:

Because only regular-shaped objects have a consistent length, width, height, and shape. When dealing with an object composed of differing shapes, your must calculate each portion separately and then add them.

calculate the atomic mass of carbon if the two common isotopes of carbon have masses of 12.000 amu (98.89% abundance) and 13.003

Bingel [31]

12.01 amu

Work:

(12.000 × .9889) + (13.003 × .0111) = 12.01

Purification of chromium can be achieved by electrorefining chromium from an impure chromium anode onto a pure chromium cathode

miskamm [114]

Answer:

544.522 Hours

Explanation:

a) Mass = 12.5 kg = 12500 g

Now, Number of moles is given as

No of moles = Mass of Cr / Molar mass of Cr

$=\frac{12500}{52}$

= 240.38 moles

$Cr^{3+}\Rightarrow$ 3 mols of electrons are required

$\Rightarrow 240.38\times3 =721.14\text{mol of e-}$

Converting moles of e- to coulombs of charge, (1 mol of electrons = 96500 C )

Q =721.14 mol×96500 C/mol

=69590010 of charge

We know that, Q = I×t

where Q is charge, I is current and t is time required.

$\Rightarrow t =\frac{Q}{I}$

$=\frac{69590010}{35.5}$

=196281.97 seconds

$=\frac{1.96281\times10^5}{3600}$

=544.522 Hours

If “A” is a halogen in the formal equation, A + BC -> __, what letter would it be replacing?

mylen [45]

Answer is: it would replace letter C.
Halogen elements are fluorine, chlorine, bromine and iodine, they are nonmetals. In compound BC, letter C represents nonmetal, so nonmetal replaces nonmetal in single replacement reaction.
Single replacement reaction <span>is a reaction in which one element is substituted for another element in a compound.</span>
