Answer:

$\% Be=36\%\\\\\% O=64\%$

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, since the percent compositions of Be and O in beryllium oxide are computed as shown below:

$\% Be=\frac{m_{Be}}{M_{BeO}} *100\%\\\\\% O=\frac{m_{O}}{M_{BeO}} *100\%$

Since atomic masses are respectively 9.01 and 16.0 g/mol and the molar mass of the compound is 25.01 g/mol, the resulting percent compositions are:

$\% Be=\frac{9.01}{25.01} *100\%=36\%\\\\\% O=\frac{16.0}{25.01} *100\%=64\%$

Best regards!

The conversation of cyclopropane to propene in the gas phase is a first order reaction with a rate constant of 6.7x10-⁴s-¹. a) i

Rus_ich [418]

Answer: a) The concentration after 8.8min is 0.17 M

b) Time taken for the concentration of cyclopropane to decrease from 0.25M to 0.15M is 687 seconds.

Explanation:

Expression for rate law for first order kinetics is given by:

$t=\frac{2.303}{k}\log\frac{a}{a-x}$

where,

k = rate constant

t = age of sample

a = let initial amount of the reactant

a - x = amount left after decay process

a) concentration after 8.8 min:

$8.8\times 60s=\frac{2.303}{6.7\times 10^{-4}s^{-1}}\log\frac{0.25}{a-x}$

$\log\frac{0.25}{a-x}=0.15$

$\frac{0.25}{a-x}=1.41$

$(a-x)=0.17M$

b) for concentration to decrease from 0.25M to 0.15M

$t=\frac{2.303}{6.7\times 10^{-4}s^{-1}}\log\frac{0.25}{0.15}\\\\t=\frac{2.303}{6.7\times 10^{-4}s^{-1}}\times 0.20$

$t=687s$

A chemist has some 40% acid solution, some 60% acid solution, and a wholebunch of free time. How many liters of each should be u

TiliK225 [7]

Answer:

30 Liters of 40% acid solution and 10 L of 60% acid solution is needed.

Explanation:

Let volume of the 40% acid solution be x.

Let volume of the 60% acid solution be y.

Volume of solution formed after mixing both solution = 40 L

x + y = 40 L..[1]

Volume of acid 40% solution = 40% of x= 0.4x

Volume of acid 60% solution = 60% of y= 0.6y

Volume of acid formed = 45% of 40 L = $\frac{45}{100}\times 40=18L$

$0.4x+0.6y=18 L$ ..[2]

Solving [1] and [2]

x = 30 L , y = 10 L

30 Liters of 40% acid solution and 10 L of 60% acid solution is needed.
