Consider two compounds. Compound A contains 15.7 g of sulfur and 18.6 g of fluorine. Compound B contains 25.4 g of sulfur and 60

.2 g of fluorine. For Compound A, the ratio of fluorine to sulfur is 1.18. For Compound B, the ratio of fluorine to sulfur is 2.37. Using the Law of Definite Proportions (also called the Law of Constant Composition), could Compound A and Compound B be the same compound

Answer:

No, compound A and B are not the same compound

Explanation:

According to the law of definite proportion "every chemical compound contains fixed and constant proportions (by mass) of its constituent elements." (Encyclopedia Britannica)

We can see in the question that the ratio of flourine to sulphur in compound A is 1.18 while the ratio of flourine to sulphur in compound B is 2.37.

The two chemical compounds do not contain a fixed proportion by mass of their constituent elements therefore, they can not be same compound according to the law of definite proportions.

which of the following true? a_volcanoes and earthquakes often near the plate boundaries. b_volcanoes occur whereve there are ta
pentagon [3]

The answer is A. Volcanoes and earthquakes often occur near place boundaries. Volcanoes are exit points for heat from the Earth's core. And Earthquakes are caused by the tectonic places colliding along another one. For example one tectonic plate would be slowly moving south, and another next to it could collide with the South-going plate while going North, and that is what causes Earthquakes.

You mix 285.0 mL of 1.20 M lead(II) nitrate with 300.0 mL of 1.60 M potassium iodide. The lead(II) iodide is insoluble. Which of
SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

D. The final concentration of NO3– is 0.821 M.

Explanation:

Considering:

Molarity=\frac{Moles\ of\ solute}{Volume\ of\ the\ solution}

Or,

Moles =Molarity \times {Volume\ of\ the\ solution}

Given :

For potassium iodide :

Molarity = 1.60 M

Volume = 300.0 mL

The conversion of mL to L is shown below:

1 mL = 10⁻³ L

Thus, volume = 300.0×10⁻³ L

Thus, moles of potassium iodide :

Moles=1.60 \times {300.0\times 10^{-3}}\ moles

<u>Moles of potassium iodide = 0.48 moles </u>

For lead(II) nitrate :

Molarity = 1.20 M

Volume = 285 mL

The conversion of mL to L is shown below:

1 mL = 10⁻³ L

Thus, volume = 285×10⁻³ L

Thus, moles of lead(II) nitrate :

Moles=1.20\times {285\times 10^{-3}}\ moles

<u>Moles of lead(II) nitrate  = 0.342 moles </u>

According to the given reaction:

2KI_{(aq)}+Pb(NO_3)_2_{(aq)}\rightarrow PbI_2_{(s)}+2KNO_3_{(aq)}

2 moles of potassium iodide react with 1 mole of lead(II) nitrate

1 mole of potassium iodide react with 1/2 mole of lead(II) nitrate

0.48 moles potassium iodide react with 0.48/2 mole of lead(II) nitrate

Moles of lead(II) nitrate = 0.24 moles

Available moles of lead(II) nitrate = 0.342 moles

<u>Limiting reagent is the one which is present in small amount. Thus, potassium iodide is limiting reagent.</u>

Also, consumed lead(II) nitrate = 0.24 moles  (lead ions precipitate with iodide ions)

Left over moles = 0.342 - 0.24 moles = 0.102 moles

Total volume = 300 + 285 mL = 585 mL = 0.585 L

<u>So, Concentration = 0.102/0.585 M = 1.174 M</u>

<u>Statement A is correct.</u>

The formation of the product is governed by the limiting reagent. So,

2 moles of potassium iodide gives 1 mole of lead(II) iodide

1 mole of potassium iodide gives 1/2 mole of lead(II) iodide

0.48 mole of potassium iodide gives 0.48/2 mole of lead(II) iodide

Mole of lead(II) iodide = 0.24 moles

Molar mass of lead(II) iodide = 461.01 g/mol

<u>Mass of lead(II) chloride = Moles × Molar mass = 0.24 × 461.01 g = 111 g </u>

<u>Statement B is correct.</u>

Potassium iodide is the limiting reagent. So all the potassium ion is with potassium nitrate . Thus,

2 moles of Potassium iodide on reaction forms 2 moles of potassium ion

0.48 moles of Potassium iodide on reaction forms 0.48 moles of potassium ion

Total volume = 300 + 285 mL = 585 mL = 0.585 L

<u>So, Concentration = 0.48/0.585 M = 0.821 M</u>

<u>Statement C is correct.</u>

Nitrate ions are furnished by lead(II) nitrate . So,

1 mole of lead(II) nitrate  produces 2 moles of nitrate ions

0.342 mole of lead(II) nitrate  produces 2*0.342 moles of nitrate ions

Moles of nitrate ions = 0.684 moles

<u>So, Concentration = 0.684/0.585 M = 1.169 M</u>

<u>Statement D is incorrect.</u>
