Explanation:

Carbon-12 atoms have stable nuclei because of the 1:1 ratio of protons and neutrons.

Carbon-14 atoms have nuclei which are unstable. C-14 atoms will undergo alpha decay and produce atoms of N-14. Carbon-14 dating can be used to determine the age of artifacts which are not more than 50,000 years old.

In an experiment magnesium ribbon was heated in air. The product was found to be heavier than the original ribbon. Potassium man

KatRina [158]

Burning a magnesium ribbon in the air is an addition reaction while heating potassium manganate 7 is a decomposition reaction.

<h3>Addition and decomposition reactions</h3>

Magnesium burns in air to produce magnesium oxide as follows:

$2Mg + O_2 --- > 2MgO$

Potassium manganate 7 burns to produce multiple products as follows:

$2 KMnO_4 --- > K_2MnO_4 + MnO_2(s) + O_2$

Thus, the MgO will be heavier than Mg. On the other hand, $MnO_2$ will be less heavy than $KMnO_4$ .

What happen when a piece of silver metal is added to the copper sulphate solution

natta225 [31]

Answer:

Explanation:When silver Ag metal is added to copper sulphate CuSO4 solution, no reaction takes place as silver is less reactive than that of copper and cannot displace copper from its solution. Hence, when a piece of silver metal is added to copper sulphate solution there will be no reaction.

How many moles of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen are present in a 100-g sample of ascorbic acid?

Y_Kistochka [10]

There are:

3.41 moles of C

4.54 moles of H

3.40 moles of O.

Why?

To solve the problem, the first thing that we need to do is to write the chemical formula of the ascorbic acid.

$C_{6}H_{8}O_{6}$

Now, we know that there are 100 grams of the compound, so, the masses of each element will represent the percent in the compound.

We have that:

$C_{6}=12.0107g*6=72.08g\\\\H_{8}=1.008g*8=8.064g\\\\O_{6}=15.999g*6=95.994g\\\\C_{6}H_{8}O_{6}=72.08g+8.064g+95.994g=176.138g$

To know the percent of each element, we need to to the following:

$C=\frac{72.08g}{176.138g}*100=0.409*100=40.92(percent)\\\\H=\frac{8.064g}{176.138g}*100=4.58(percent)\\\\O=\frac{95.994}{176.138g}*100=54.49(percent)$

So, we know that for the 100 grams of the compound, there are:

40.92 grams of C

4.58 grams of H

54.49 grams of O

We know the molecular masses of each element:

$C=12.0107\frac{g}{mol}\\\\H=1.008\frac{g}{mol}\\\\O=15.999\frac{g}{mol}{mol}$

Now, to calculate the number of moles of each element, we need to divide the mass of each element by the molecular mass of each element:

$C=\frac{40.92g}{12.010\frac{g}{mol}}=3.41mol\\\\H=\frac{4.58g}{1.008\frac{g}{mol}}=4.54mol\\\\O=\frac{54.49g}{15.999\frac{g}{mol}}=3.40mol$

Hence, we have that there are 3.41 moles of C, 4.54 moles of H, and 3.40 moles of O.

Have a nice day!

Be sure to answer all parts. Calculate the molality, molarity, and mole fraction of FeCl3 in a 24.0 mass % aqueous solution (d =

Anna71 [15]

Answer:

m= 1.84 m

M= 1.79 M

mole fraction (X) =

Xsolute= 0.032

Xsolvent = 0.967

Explanation:

1. Find the grams of FeCl3 in the solution: when we have a mass % we assume that there is 100 g of solution so 24% means 24 g of FeCl3 in the solution. The rest 76 g are water.

2. For molality we have the formula m= moles of solute / Kg solvent

so first we pass the grams of FeCl3 to moles of FeCl3:

24 g of FeCl3x(1 mol FeCl3/162.2 g FeCl3) = 0.14 moles FeCl3

If we had 76 g of water we convert it to Kg:

76 g water x(1 Kg of water/1000 g of water) = 0.076 Kg of water

now we divide m = 0.14 moles FeCl3/0.076 Kg of water

m= 1.84 m

3. For molarity we have the formula M= moles of solute /L of solution

the moles we already have 0.14 moles FeCl3

the (L) of solution we need to use the density of the solution to find the volume value. For this purpose we have: 100 g of solution and the density d= 1.280 g/mL

The density formula is d = (m) mass/(V) volume if we clear the unknown value that is the volume we have that (V) volume = m/d

so V = 100 g / 1.280 g/mL = 78.12 mL = 0.078 L

We replace the values in the M formula

M= 0.14 moles of FeCl3/0.078 L

M= 1.79 M

3. Finally the mole fraction (x) has the formula

X(solute) = moles of solute /moles of solution

X(solvent) moles of solvent /moles of solution

X(solute) + X(solvent) = 1

we need to find the moles of the solvent and we add the moles of the solute like this we have the moles of the solution:

76 g of water x(1 mol of water /18 g of water) = 4.2 moles of water

moles of solution = 0.14 moles of FeCl3 + 4.2 moles of water = 4.34 moles of solution

X(solute) = 0.14 moles of FeCl3/4.34 moles of solution = 0.032

1 - X(solute) = 1 - 0.032 = 0.967
