In 1928, 47.5 g of a new element was isolated from 660 kg of the ore molybdenite. the percent by mass of this element in the ore
vitfil [10]

To take the percent by mass of this element, we use the formula:

% mass = (mass of element / mass of ore) * 100%

% mass = (47.5 g / (660 kg * 1000 g / kg)) * 100*

<span>% mass = 7.20 x 10^-3 %</span>

3. Determine the moles of sodium, Na, containing 7.9x1024 atoms.​
-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

12.7mol Na.

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, according to the concept of mole, which stands for the amount of substance, we can recall the concept of Avogadro's number whereby we understand that one mole of any substance contains 6.022x10²³ particles, for the given atoms of sodium, we can calculate the moles as shown below:

7.9x10^{23}atoms*\frac{1mol}{6.022x10^{23}atoms} \\\\

Thus, by performing the division we obtain:

12.7molNa

I need help solving this for chemistry. Don’t know where to start:/
Juli2301 [7.4K]
1 electron has charge =1.602* 10⁻¹⁹ C
1 mole of electrons have 1.602* 10⁻¹⁹*6.02*10²³C = 9.64*10⁴ C/1mol

One ion Co²⁺   takes 2e⁻ to become Co⁰.
1 mol of Co²⁺  ions take 2 mole of e⁻ to become Co⁰, so
 0.30 mol Co²⁺  ions take mole of 0.60 mol e⁻ to become Co⁰

9.64*10⁴(C/1mol) *0.60 (mol)≈ 5.8 *10⁴ Coulombs.
Correct answer is C

A solution has a pOH of 8.7 so what is the pH of the solution? Is the solution acidic, basic, or neutral?
RSB [31]
PH + pOH = 14

pH = 14 - pOH

pH = 14 - 8.7

pH = 5,3

This solution is <u>acidic</u>.

If pH<7 - acidic
If pH=7 - neutral
If pH>7 - basic
