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!

How many grams are there in 7.4 x 1023 molecules of H2SO4?

bazaltina [42]

7.4x10^23 = molecules of silver nitrate sample

6.022x10^23 number of molecules per mole (Avogadro's number)

Divide molecules of AgNO3 by # of molecules per mol

7.4/6.022 = 1.229 mols AgNO3 (Sig Figs would put this at 1.3)

(I leave off the x10^23 because they both will divide out)

Use your periodic table to find the molar weight of silver nitrate.

107.868(Ag) + 14(N) + 3(16[O]) = 169.868g/mol AgNO3

Now multiply your moles of AgNO3 with your molar weight of AgNO3

1.229mol x 169.868g/mol = 208.767g AgNO3

How do electrons differ from protons and neutrons? A. They do not move. B. They are larger. C. They are not in a fixed position.

nikdorinn [45]

Hi!

Electrons are particles which basically 'orbit' around the nucleus. Protons and neutrons are condensed, in a fixed position inside the nucleus.

With this in mind, the answer will be C.

Hopefully, this helps! =)

Find the pH of a 0.100 molar H2C6O6 solution with ka, where KA is equal 8.0×10–5

lubasha [3.4K]

The pH of the solution is 2.54.

Explanation:

pH is the measure of acidity of the solution and Ka is the dissociation constant. Dissociation constant is the measure of concentration of hydrogen ion donated to the solution.

The solution of C₆H₂O₆ will get dissociated as C₆HO₆ and H+ ions. So the molar concentration of 0.1 M is present at the initial stage. Lets consider that the concentration of hydrogen ion released as x and the same amount of the base ion will also be released.

So the dissociation constant Kₐ can be written as the ratio of concentration of products to the concentration of reactants. As the concentration of reactants is given as 0.1 M and the concentration of products is considered as x for both hydrogen and base ion. Then the

$K_{a}=\frac{[H^{+}][HB] }{[reactant]}$
