Answer:

Three primary reasons. First, there is simply more water-covered places than dry ground places for the animals and plants to have lived. Second, the seas are much more crowded with the kinds of life that leave fossils than the land is. Third, the process that form fossils work very well under water.

What is the composition, in atom percent, of an alloy that consists of a) 5.5 wt% Pb and b) 94.5 wt% of Sn? Assume that the atom

Anastaziya [24]

Answer : The percent composition of Pb and Sn in atom is, 3.21 % and 96.8 % respectively.

Explanation :

First we have to calculate the number of atoms in 5.5 wt% Pb and 94.5 wt% of Sn.

As, 207.2 g of lead contains $6.022\times 10^{23}$ atoms

So, 5.5 g of lead contains $\frac{5.5}{207.2}\times 6.022\times 10^{23}=1.59\times 10^{22}$ atoms

and,

As, 118.71 g of lead contains $6.022\times 10^{23}$ atoms

So, 94.5 g of lead contains $\frac{94.5}{118.71}\times 6.022\times 10^{23}=4.79\times 10^{23}$ atoms

Now we have to calculate the percent composition of Pb and Sn in atom.

$\% \text{Composition of Pb}=\frac{\text{Atoms of Pb}}{\text{Atoms of Pb}+\text{Atoms of Sn}}\times 100$

$\% \text{Composition of Pb}=\frac{1.59\times 10^{22}}{(1.59\times 10^{22})+(4.79\times 10^{23})}\times 100=3.21\%$

and,

$\% \text{Composition of Sn}=\frac{\text{Atoms of Sn}}{\text{Atoms of Pb}+\text{Atoms of Sn}}\times 100$

$\% \text{Composition of Sn}=\frac{4.79\times 10^{23}}{(1.59\times 10^{22})+(4.79\times 10^{23})}\times 100=96.8\%$

Thus, the percent composition of Pb and Sn in atom is, 3.21 % and 96.8 % respectively.

If the K a Ka of a monoprotic weak acid is 7.3 × 10 − 6 , 7.3×10−6, what is the pH pH of a 0.40 M 0.40 M solution of this acid?

olga_2 [115]

Answer:

pH =3.8

Explanation:

Lets call the monoprotic weak acid HA, the dissociation equilibria in water will be:

HA + H₂O ⇄ H₃O⁺ + A⁻ with Ka = [ H₃O⁺] x [A⁻]/ [HA]

The pH is the negative log of the H₃O⁺ concentration, we know the equilibrium constant, Ka and the original acid concentration. So we will need to find the [H₃O⁺] to solve this question.

In order to do that lets set up the ICE table helper which accounts for the species at equilibrium:

HA H₃O⁺ A⁻

Initial, M 0.40 0 0

Change , M -x +x +x

Equilibrium, M 0.40 - x x x

Lets express these concentrations in terms of the equilibrium constant:

Ka = x² / (0.40 - x )

Now the equilibrium constant is so small ( very little dissociation of HA ) that is safe to approximate 0.40 - x to 0.40,

7.3 x 10⁻⁶ = x² / 0.40 ⇒ x = √( 7.3 x 10⁻⁶ x 0.40 ) = 1.71 x 10⁻³

[H₃O⁺] = 1.71 x 10⁻³

Indeed 1.71 x 10⁻³ is small compared to 0.40 (0.4 %). To be a good approximation our value should be less or equal to 5 %.

pH = - log ( 1.71 x 10⁻³ ) = 3.8

Note: when the aprroximation is greater than 5 % we will need to solve the resulting quadratic equation.
