Sean plated an unknown metal onto his silver earring which initially weighed 1.41 g. He constructs an electrolytic cell using hi

s ring as one of the electrodes. After running the cell, 0.022 moles of the unknown metal was plated onto his ring and the mass of the ring increased to 3.952 g. What is the atomic weight of the unknown metal in g/mol

Answer:

115 g/mol

Explanation:

Step 1: Given data

  • Initial mass of the earring (mi): 1.41 g
  • Final mass of the earring (mf): 3.952 g
  • Moles of the unknown metal deposited (n): 0.022 mol

Step 2: Calculate the mass of the unknown metal deposited

An earring is plated in an electrolytic cell. The mass of the unknown metal deposited can be calculated using the following expression.

<em>m = mf - mi</em>

m = 3.953 g - 1.41 g

m = 2.54 g

Step 3: Calculate the molar mass (M) of the unknown metal

0.022 moles of the metal have a mass of 2.54 g. The molar mass of the metal is:

<em>M = m/n</em>

M = 2.54 g / 0.022 mol

M = 115 g/mol

Which of the following describes a condition in which an individual would not hear an echo?
egoroff_w [7]

The correct answer is D.

Echo refers to the sound that is heard when a sound wave is reflected back from a surface. An echo sound is made when a sound wave traveled through the air, hit a hard surface and get reflected back. Generally, hard surfaces reflect sound wave while soft surfaces absorb sound waves. Reflected sound waves are used in application of some devices that are used in range and direction finding.

Which describes a way to speed up the collisions between hydrogen and oxygen molecules to produce more water?
rodikova [14]
<span>Equation:2H2(g) + O2(g) → 2H2O(g)

Smaller container means less volume, and the molecules will hit the walls of the container more frequently because there's less space available and the pressure will go up. I guess this would mean that the side with fewer moles would be favored as a result. We count the number of moles on the reactants and products and find that there are fewer moles on the product side, so I guess this would favor the product formation.

If 2 objects have the same volume, but one has more mass than the other, are the densities the same or different? Explain
laiz [17]

The one with higher mass has a higher density because it fits more mass into the same amount of space (volume).
