Answer: The percentage by mass of sulphur in $Al_2(SO_4)_3$ is 9.36%

Explanation:

Mass percent of an element is the ratio of mass of that element by the total mass expressed in terms of percentage.

${\text {Mass percentage}}=\frac{\text {mass of sulphur}}{\text {Total mass}}\times 100\%$

Given: mass of sulphur = 32 g/mol

mass of $Al_2(SO_4)_3$ = 342 g/mol

Putting in the values we get:

${\text {Mass percentage}}=\frac{32g/mol}{342g/mol}\times 100\%=9.36\%$

The percentage by mass of sulphur in $Al_2(SO_4)_3$ is 9.36%

What is the pH at the equivalence point in the titration of a 25.7 mL sample of a 0.370 M aqueous nitrous acid solution with a 0

expeople1 [14]

Answer:

pH = 8.24

Explanation:

Nitrous acid (HNO₂) reacts with KOH, thus:

HNO₂ + KOH → KNO₂ + H₂O

Moles of HNO₂ are:

0.0257mL ₓ (0.370mol / L) = 0.00951moles.

In equivalence point, the complete moles of nitrous acid reacts with KOH producing potassium nitrite. There are needed:

0.00951mol ₓ (1L / 0.491mol) = 0.01937L ≡ 19.4mL of 0.491M KOH to reach equivalence point.

Total volume in equivalence point is: 19.4mL + 25.7mL = 45.1mL

Potassium nitrite is in equilibrium with water, thus:

NO₂⁻ + H₂O ⇄ HNO₂ + OH⁻

Where equilibrium constant, Kb, is defined as:

Kb = 1.41x10⁻¹¹ = $\frac{[OH^-][HNO_2]}{[NO_2]}$

In equilibrium, molarity of each compound are:

[NO₂⁻]: 0.00951mol/0.00451L - X = 0.211M - X

[HNO₂]: X

[OH⁻]: X

Where X is reaction coordinate

Replacing in Kb:

1.41x10⁻¹¹ = $\frac{[X][X]}{[0.211 -X]}$

0 = X² + 1.41x10⁻¹¹X - 2.97x10⁻¹²

Solving for X:

X = -1.72x10⁻⁶ FALSE ANSWER. There is no negative concentrations.

X = 1.72x10⁻⁶. Right answer.

That means:

[OH⁻]: 1.72x10⁻⁶M

As pOH is -log [OH⁻] and pH = 14-pOH:

pOH = 5.76; pH = 8.24

How many moles are in a 12.0 g sample of NiC12

Nady [450]

Answer:

0.17 moles

Explanation:

In the elements of the periodic table, the atomic mass = molar mass. Ex: Atomic mass of Carbon is 12.01 amu which means molar mass of Carbon is also 12.01g/mol.

In order to find the # of moles in a 12 g sample of NiC-12, we will need to multiply the number of each atom by its molar mass and then add the masses of both Nickel and C-12 found in the periodic table:

Molar Mass of Ni (Nickel): 58.69 g/mol

Molar Mass of C (Carbon): 12.01 g/mol

Since there's just one atom of both Carbon and Nickel, we just add up the masses to find the molar mass of the whole compound of NiC-12.

58.69 g/mol of Nickel + 12.01 g/mol of Carbon = 70.7 g/mol of NiC-12

There's 12g of NiC-12, which is less than the molar mass of NiC-12, so the number of moles should be less than 1. In order to find the # of moles in NiC-12, we need to do some dimensional analysis:

12g NiC-12 (1 mol of NiC-12/70.7g NiC-12) = 0.17 mol of NiC-12
The grams cancel, leaving us with moles of NiC-12, so the answer is 0.17 moles of NiC-12 in a 12 g sample.

P.S. C-12 or C12 just means that the Carbon atom has an atomic mass of 12amu and a molar mass of 12g/mol, or just regular carbon.
