Answer:

32000 kilometers

Explanation:

In order to <u>convert from miles to kilometers</u>, we need to use a<em> conversion factor</em>. In other words, we put miles in the denominator and kilometers in the numerator, as follows:

  • 20000 miles * \frac{1.6km}{1mile} = 32000 kilometers

That way the units for miles cancel each other, leaving the equivalent amount in kilometers.

How many grams of silver nitrate are needed to react with 156.2g of sodium sulfide to produce 595.8g of silver sulfide and 340.0
qaws [65]
Before proceeding, we should write the reaction equation to better understand what is happening:
2AgNO₃ + Na₂S → Ag₂S + 2NaNO₃

Now, we may apply the law of conservation of mass, due to which the total mass before a chemical reaction is equivalent to the total mass after a chemical reaction. Therefore:
Mass of silver nitrate + mass of sodium sulfide = mass of silver sulfide + mass of sodium nitrate

Mass of silver nitrate + 156.2 = 595.8 + 340
Mass of silver nitrate = 779.6 grams

White vinegar is a 5.0% by mass solution of acetic acid in water. If the density of white
Alex_Xolod [135]

The pH = 2.41

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

5.0% by mass solution of acetic acid

the density of white  vinegar is 1.007 g/cm3

Required

pH

Solution

Molarity of solution :

\tt M=\dfrac{\%mass\times \rho\times 10}{MW~acetic~acid}\\\\M=\dfrac{5\times 1.007\times 10}{60}\\\\M=0.839

Ka for acetic acid = 1.8 x 10⁻⁵

[H⁺] for weak acid :

\tt [H^+]=\sqrt{Ka.M}

Input the value :

\tt [H^+]=\sqrt{1.8\times 10^{-5}\times 0.839}\\\\(H^+]=0.00388=3.88\times 10^{-3}\\\\pH=3-log~3.88=2.41

1.15 g of a metallic element needs 300 cm3 of oxygen for complete reaction, at 298 K and 1 atm
sashaice [31]
1) Calculate the number of moles of O2 (g) in 300 cm^3 of gas at 298 k and 1 atm


Ideal gas equation: pV = nRT => n = pV / RT


R = 0.0821 atm*liter/K*mol

V = 300 cm^3 = 0.300 liter

T = 298 K

p = 1 atm


=> n = 1 atm * 0.300 liter / [ (0.0821 atm*liter /K*mol) * 298K] = 0.01226 mol


2) The reaction of a metal with O2(g) to form an ionic compound (with O2- ions) is of the type


X (+) + O2 (g) ---> X2O          or   


2 X(2+) + O2(g) ----> X2O2 = 2XO     or


4X(3+) + 3O2(g) ---> 2X2O3


 
In the first case, 1 mol of metal react with 1 mol of O2(g); in the second case, 2 moles of metal react with 1 mol of O2(g); in the third, 4 moles of X react with 3 moles of O2(g)



So, lets probe those 3 cases.


3) Case 1: 1 mol of metal X / 1 mol O2(g) = x moles / 0.01226 mol

=> x = 0.01226 moles of metal X


Now you can calculate the atomic mass of the hypotethical metal:

1.15 grams / 0.01226 mol = 93.8 g / mol


That does not correspond to any of the metal with valence 1+


So, now probe the case 2.



4) Case 2:


2moles X metal / 1 mol O2(g) = x / 0.01226 mol


=> x = 2 * 0.01226 = 0.02452 mol


And the atomic mass of the metal is: 1.15 g / 0.02452 mol = 46.9 g/mol


That is similar to the atomic mass of titanium which is 47.9 g / mol and whose valece is 2+.


4) Case 3


4 mol meta X / 3 mol O2 = x / 0.01226 => x = 0.01226 * 4 / 3 = 0.01635 


atomic mass = 1.15 g / 0.01635 mol = 70.33 g/mol


That does not correspond to any metal.


Conclusion: the identity of the metallic element could be titanium.
