Answer:

The soil has a percentage of water by mass of 27.8 %.

Explanation:

Keeping in mind that

  • Mass of Clay = Mass of water + Mass of Dry Soil

we can <u>calculate the mass of water</u>:

  • 1350 g = Mass of Water + 975 g
  • Mass of Water = 375 g

We can then <u>calculate the mass percentage of water in the soil</u>:

  • 375 / 1350 * 100% = 27.8 %

2. Chromium+oxygen - chromium(III) oxide <br>balanced​
sesenic [268]

Answer:

4Cr + 3O2 —> 2Cr2O3

Explanation:

Information from the question include:

Chromium + oxygen -> chromium(III) oxide

From the word equation given above, the equation can be written as follow:

Cr + O2 —> Cr2O3

The equation can be balance by doing the following:

There are 2 atoms of O on the left side and 3 atoms on the right side. It can be balance by putting 2 in front of Cr2O3 and 3 in front of O2 as shown below:

Cr + 3O2 —> 2Cr2O3

Now, we have 4 atoms of Cr on the right side and 1 atom on the left. It can be balance by putting 4 in front of Cr as shown below:

4Cr + 3O2 —> 2Cr2O3

Now the equation is balanced

The radius of a lithium atom is 130 picometers, and the radius of a fluorine atom is 60 picometers. The radius of a lithium ion,
natali 33 [55]

Answer:

A positive ions is always smaller than the corresponding atom.

A negative ion is always larger than the corresponding atom.

Explanation:

The reason for this is that, when a positive ion is formed, a full shell is usually removed with its electrons thereby reducing the size of the electron cloud and decreasing the size of the electron cloud.

A negative ion is formed by addition of more electrons to the electron cloud hence it spreads out. Interelectronic repulsion accounts for the larger size of the negative ion.

50.0 mL of an HNO^3 solution were titrated with 36.90 mL of a 0.100 M LiOH solution to reach the equivalence point. What is the
NISA [10]

Answer:

0.0738 M

Explanation:

HNO3 +LiOH = LiNO3 + H2O

Number of moles HNO3 = number of moles LiOH

M(HNO3)*V(HNO3) = M(LiOH)*M(LiOH)

M(HNO3)*50.0mL = 0.100M*36.90 mL

M(HNO3) = 0.100*36.90/50.0 M = 0.0738 M
