There are many minerals which contain silver. A 2.00 g sample of one of these, stephanite, is placed in water and all of its sil

ver ions are released. It takes 2.89 mL of 2.19 M magnesium chloride to precipitate all the silver ions just released as the solid silver chloride. Calculate the mass percent of silver in stephanite to the correct number of significant figures. Assume that stephanite contains no chloride ions.

Answer:

68.3%

Explanation:

First, let us look at the equation of reaction involving silver and magnesium chloride:

2Ag + MgCl2 ----> 2AgCl + Mg

1 mole of MgCl2 is required to precipitate 2 moles of Ag completely from the solution. That is a ratio of 1 to 2.

Now, mole of MgCl2 used to precipitate all the Ag

             = molarity x volume

                      = 2.19 M x 2.89/1000

                         = 0.0063291 mole

Since 1 mole of MgCl2 would always require 2 moles of Ag, 0.0063291 mole will therefore require:

      0.0063291 x 2 = 0.0126 mole of Ag

This means that 0.0126 mole of Ag is present in stephanie.

Mass of silver in stephanie = mole x molar mass

                              = 0.0126 x 107.8682

                                      = 1.365 g

Thus, 1.365 g of silver is present in 2.00 g sample of stephanie.

Mass percent of silver in stephanie = 1.365/2.00 x 100

                                         = 68.25% = 68.3% to the correct number of significant figure.

How does radiocarbon (or uranium) dating help us better understand the world
navik [9.2K]

Here we have to discuss the understanding of world through radiocarbon or uranium.

The radiocarbon or uranium helps us to determine the age of the world.

All uranium or radiocarbon elements after ejecting the radioactive rays convert to non-radioactive element lead (²⁰⁸Pb). If we assume that during the generation of world there were not any amount of lead was present i.e. only uranium or radiocarbon was present. Then by analysis of any uranium or radiocarbon at the present date one can determine the age of the world as follows:

In present moment we know that the ratio of uranium (U) and lead (Pb) in any uranium ore is 10:3 (gram atom ratio)

So, \frac{the amount of uranium at the generation of world}{The remaining amount of uranium on present day} = \frac{10+3}{10}

Therefore, from the equation: ln\frac{N_{0} }{N} = λt (where λ = rate of dissociation of uranium, t = time); we can write:

t = λ⁻¹ ln\frac{N_{0} }{N} =  λ⁻¹ln\frac{13}{10}.

On plugging the dissociation rate of uranium we can obtain the age of the world, which is nearly 1.5×10⁹ years.

Thus the use of radioactive element to understand the world is explained.

Which of the following would increase the strength of an electromagnet? Check all that apply.
TiliK225 [7]

Answer: The correct statements are ; A and B.

Explanation:

The strength of the magnetic field(B) in an electromagnet can be calculated using formula:

B=\mu\frac{N}{L}I

\mu = Relative permeability

N = number of turns

I = Current in the wire of the solenoid

L = length of the solenoid or electromagnetic

As we can see from the formula:

B\propto N

B\propto I

So, by increasing the turns and increasing current flowing through wire one can increase the strength of an electromagnet.

Hence, the correct statements are ; A and B.

Lithium and nitrogen react in a combination reaction to produce lithium nitride: 6Li(s) + N2(g) → 2Li3N(s) How many moles of lit
miss Akunina [59]

Answer:

12.5 g of Li are needed in order toproduce 0.60 moles of Li₃N

Explanation:

The reaction is:

6Li(s) + N₂(g) → 2Li₃N(s)

If nitrogen is in excess, the lithium is the limiting reactant.

Ratio is 2:6

2 moles of nitride were produced by 6 moles of Li

Then, 0.6 moles of nitride were produced by (0.6 .6)/ 2 = 1.8 moles of Li

Let's convert the moles to mass → 1.8 mol . 6.94 g/ 1mol = 12.5 g of Li

What is the purpose of a catalyst?
Artyom0805 [142]
Answer: A. To change the potential energy of the reactants.

Explanation:
Catalysts make such a breaking and rebuilding happen more efficiently. They do this by lowering the activation energy for the chemical reaction. Activation energy is the amount of energy needed to allow the chemical reaction to occur. The catalyst just changes the path to the new chemical partnership.
