Answer:

Sedimentary rocks are the product of 1) weathering of preexisting rocks, 2) transport of the weathering products, 3) deposition of the material, followed by 4) compaction, and 5) cementation of the sediment to form a rock. The latter two steps are called lithification.

When heated strongly, copper metal incorporates oxygen to form one of the copper oxides from the last problem. In one experiment

Whitepunk [10]

Answer:

1 mol of copper

Explanation:

The mass of the oxide formed is the total mass less the crucible mass, so it is:

100.52 - 88.00 = 12.52 g

It means that 10.00 g is from copper, and 2.52 g is from oxygen. The molar mass of copper is 63.50 g/mol, and the molar mass of oxygen is 16 g/mol. The number of moles (n) is the mass divided by the molar mass:

n Cu = 10.00/63.50 = 0.158 moles

n O = 2.52/16 = 0.158 moles

So, there is the same number of moles of each element, and the product must be: CuO, which has 1 mol of copper.

A metal forms the fluoride MF3. Electrolysis of the molten fluoride by a current of 3.86 A for 16.2 minutes deposits 1.25 g of t

larisa86 [58]

Answer: The molar mass of the metal is 96.45 g/mol

Explanation:

The fluoride of the metal formed is $MF_3$

The oxidation half-reaction follows:

$M\rightarrow M^{3+}+3e^-$

Calculating the theoretical mass deposited by using Faraday's law, which is:

$m=\frac{M\times I\times t(s)}{n\times F}$ ......(1)

where,

m = actual mass deposited = 1.25 g

M = molar mass of metal = ?

I = average current = 3.86 A

t = time period in seconds = 16.2 min = 972 s (Conversion factor: 1 min = 60 sec)

n = number of electrons exchanged = $3mol^{-1}$

F = Faraday's constant = 96500 C

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$1.25g=\frac{M\times 3.86A\times 972s}{3mol^{-1}\times 96500 C}\\\\M=\frac{1.25g\times 3mol^{-1}\times 96500 C}{3.86A\times 972s}\\\\M=96.45g/mol$

Hence, the molar mass of the metal is 96.45 g/mol

A - ion (negative ion, one with extra negative charge)?

bekas [8.4K]

Answer:

That means an atom with a neutral charge is one where the number of electrons is equal to the atomic number. Ions are atoms with extra electrons or missing electrons. When you are missing an electron or two, you have a positive charge. When you have an extra electron or two, you have a negative charge.

A solution is made by dissolving 4.87 g of potassium nitrate in water to a final volume of 86.4 mL solution. What is the weight/

lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

A solution is made by dissolving 4.87 g of potassium nitrate in water to a final volume of 86.4 mL solution. The weight/weight % or percent by mass of the solute is :

2.67%

Explanation:

Note : Look at the density of potassium nitrate in water if given in the question.

You are calculating weight /Volume not weight/weight % or percent by mass of the solute

Here the weight/weight % or percent by mass of the solute is asked : So first convert the VOLUME OF SOLUTION into MASS

Density of potassium nitrate in water KNO3 = 2.11 g/mL

$density=\frac{mass}{volume}$
