Answer:

As hydrogen is more electronegative than boron, in BH3 the oxidation number of hydrogen should be taken as -1. (E. N. of B = 2.0 & E. N. of H = 2.1)

Suppose, oxidation number of B is x.

So, we can write, x + 3*(-1) = 0

=> x = +3

Therefore, oxidation num

You titrate 41.27 mL of 0.108 M Ca(OH)2 into 25.00 mL of citric acid (C6H307) (triprotic). What is the balanced equation and the

Triss [41]

Answer:

3Ca(OH)2 + 2C6H8O7 → 6H2O + Ca3(C6H5O7)2

And 0.119M is the concentration of the citric acid.

Explanation:

In an acid-base reaction, the proton H+ and the hydroxil ion OH- reacts producing water. The ions of the acid and base (C6H5O7³⁻ and Ca²⁺ ions produce the respective salt) as follows:

Ca(OH)2 + C6H8O7 → H2O + Ca3(C6H5O7)2

To balance the Calcium ions:

3Ca(OH)2 + C6H8O7 → H2O + Ca3(C6H5O7)2

To balance the C6H5O7³⁻ ions:

3Ca(OH)2 + 2C6H8O7 → H2O + Ca3(C6H5O7)2

And to balance the oxygens of water:

3Ca(OH)2 + 2C6H8O7 → 6H2O + Ca3(C6H5O7)2

And this is the balanced reaction.

The moles of Ca(OH)2 that reacts are:

41.27mL = 0.04127L * (0.108mol/L) = 0.004457 moles Ca(OH)2

Moles of citric acid:

0.004457 moles Ca(OH)2 * (2mol C6H8O7 / 3mol Ca(OH)2) = 0.002971 moles C6H8O7

In 25.00mL = 0.02500L:

0.002971 moles C6H8O7 / 0.0250L =

PLEASE HELP MEEE I WILL MARK BRAINLIST FOR THIS ITS SUPER SIMPLE....BUT U MUST TYPE EVERYTHING

Alina [70]

Answer:

Threatened Species: A threatened species is a species at risk but not yet endangered. California sea otters were classififed as a threatened species. Laws were passed to protect the otters and now they have increased their population size.

Invasive Species: One of the main causes of extinction and endangered species is the introduction of an exotic species. New exotic species are called invasive species. Invasive species can disrupt food chains, carry disease, prey on native species directly, and out-compete native species for limited resources, like food.

Extinction: If a population decreases too much in numbers, they disappear. Extinct species mean that the species has died out and no individuals left. An example of extinction: New Zealand was once home to a bird called the Giant Moa. Humans settled as their population increased the Moa population decreased. The species is now extinct.

1.A sample of pure calcium fluoride with a mass of 15.0 g contains 7.70 g of calcium. How much calcium is contained in 40.0 g of

QveST [7]

These are five questions and five answers.

1) Question 1. A sample of pure calcium fluoride with a mass of 15.0 g contains 7.70 g of calcium. How much calcium is contained in 40.0 g of calcium fluoride?

Answer:

20.5 g Ca

Explanation:

Calcium fluoride being a pure substance, has a fixed chemical compositon, which means that their elements (atoms), in any sample, are always in the same proportion.

Then, you can set the followoing proportion:

7.70 g Ca / 15.0 g CaF₂ = x / 40.0 g CaF₂

Now, solve for x:

x = 40.0 g CaF₂ × 7.70 g Ca / 15.0 g CaF₂ = 20.5 g Ca.

The answer must be expressed with 3 significan figures, since the three data are given with 3 significan figures.

2) Question 2. Silver has two isotopes. One isotope contains 60 neutrons and has a percent abundance of 51.839% the other contains 62 neutrons. Give the atomic symbols for the two isotopes.

Answer:

Isotope that contains 60 neutrons: ¹⁰⁷₄₇Ag

Isotope that contains 62 neutrons: ¹⁰⁹₄₇Ag

Explanation:

Isotopes are atoms of the same element, with different number of neutrons, so all the isotopes of an element have the same atomic number, Z (number of protons) and different mass number A (number of neutrons + protons).

The atomic symbols for isotopes uses the chemical symbol of the atom (Ag for silver); a subscript to the left of the chemical symbol that represents the atomic mass (47 for silver); and a superscript to the left of the chemical symbol that represents the mass number.

The mass number, A, for each silver isotope is calculated in this way:

Isotope that contains 60 neutrons: A = 60 + 47 = 107

Isotope that contains 62 neutrons: A = 62 + 47 = 109

Then, the respective atomic symboles are:

Isotope with 60 neutrons: ¹⁰⁷₄₇Ag

Isotope with 62 neutrons: ¹⁰⁹₄₇Ag

3) Question 3. What is the average atomic weight of silver? What is the mass (in grams) of a single chlorine molecule?

Answer:

107.96 amu

Explanation:

The atomic wieght of the elements is the weighted average weight of the different isotopes of the same element found in the nature, taking into account their relative abundance.

Average atomic weight = ∑( abundance × individual atomic weight)

Average atomic weight of silver = (abundace of isotope 1 × atomic weight isotope 1) + (abundance isotope 2 × atomic weight isotope 2)

Abundance isotope 1 = 51.839%

Atomic weight isotope 1 = mass number = 60 neutrons + 47 protons = 107 a.m.u
Abundance isotope 2 = 100% - 51.839% = 48.161%

Atomic weight isotope 2 = 62 neutrons + 47 protons = 109 a.m.u.

Average atomic weight of silve = 107 amu × 51.839% + 109 amu × 48.161% = 107.96 amu

4) Question without number: What is the mass (in grams) of a single chlorine molecule

Answer:

1.177 × 10⁻²² g

Explanation:

The chlorine molecule is diatomic. That means that each molecule contains two atoms. The chemical formula of chlorine molecule is Cl₂.

The mass of one mole of molecules of Cl₂ is 2 × 35.453 g/mol = 70.906 g/mol

Mass of a single molecule = mass of one mol / number of molecules in one mol

Mass of a single molecule = 70.906 g/mol / (6.022 × 10²³ molecules / mol)

Mass of a single molecule = 11.77 × 10⁻²³ g = 1.177 × 10⁻²² g

5) Question 4. How many moles of ethanol (CH₃CH₂OH) are in 141 mg?

Answer:

0.00301 mol

Explanation:

Molar mass of CH₃CH₂OH = 2 × 12.011 g/mol + 6 × 1.008 g/mol + 15.999 g/mol = 46.069 g/mol.

Formula: number of moles = mass in grams / molar mass

Calculation: number of moles = 141 mg × ( 1 g /1000 mg) / (46.069 g/mol = 0.00301 mol

Answer:

The balanced chemical equation is given as:

$3KOH(aq)+H_3PO_4(aq)\rightarrow K_3PO_4(aq)+3H_2O(l)$

Explanation:

When potassium hydroxide reacts with phosphoric acid it gives potassium phosphate and water as a products.

The balanced chemical equation is given as:

$3KOH(aq)+H_3PO_4(aq)\rightarrow K_3PO_4(aq)+3H_2O(l)$

According to reaction, 3 moles of potassium hydroxide recats with 1 mole of phosphoric acid to give 1 mole of potassium phosphate and 3 moles of water.
