The percentage composition of this compound : 40%Ca, 12%C and 48%O

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

20.0 g of calcium,

6.0 g of carbon,

and 24.0 g of oxygen.

Required

The percentage composition

Solution

Total mass of compound :

=mass calcium + mass carbon + mass oxygen

=20 g + 6 g + 24 g

=50 g

Percentage composition :

  • Ca-calcium

\tt \dfrac{20}{50}\times 100\%=40\%

  • C-carbon

\tt \dfrac{6}{50}\times 100\%=12\%

  • O-oxygen

\tt \dfrac{24}{50}\times 100\%=48\%

When the temperature of a sample of pure water is raised above 25 °C,(1)the hydronium ion concentration will be greater than the
Ludmilka [50]

Answer:

The correct answer is option 3.

Explanation:

H_2O\rightleftharpoons H^++OH^-

The expression of K_w is given by :

K_w=[H^+][OH^-]

K_w\propto [H^+]

K_w\propto [OH^-]

Rise in temperature will result in more dissociation of water molecules into hydrogen ions and hydroxide ions.

With an increase in concentration of hydrogen ions and hydroxide ions value of K_w will also increase.

Consider the following oxidation-reduction reaction: 2fe3+(aq) + 2hg(l) + 2cl−(aq) → 2fe2+(aq) + hg2cl2(s). indicate the oxidizi
nirvana33 [79]

Answer:

The reducing agent is Hg (mercury) and the oxidixing agent is Cl (chlorine)

Explanation:

first find the oxidation charges of each of the different ions. All elements that are alone have a charge of 0. As you compare the reactants and products we can see that the chargers of Hg and Cl have changed.

Hg went from a charge of 0 to a charge of +1

Cl went from a charge of 0 to a charge of -1

remember when a substance gains electrons it is reducing and when a substance is losing electrons it is oxidizing.

How many moles of aluminum are needed to make 9 moles of molecular hydrogen? Given the reaction: 2 Al + 6 HCl → 2 AlCl3 + 3H2
VMariaS [17]

Answer:

We need 6.0 moles of aluminium

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Number of moles of H2 = 9.0 moles

Step 2: The balanced equation

2 Al + 6 HCl → 2 AlCl3 + 3H2

Step 3: Calculate moles Al

For 2 moles Aluminium, we need 6 moles HCl to produce 2 moles AlCl3 and 3 moles H2

For 9.0 moles of H2 we need 2/3 * 9.0 = 6.0 moles of aluminium

We need 6.0 moles of aluminium
