Bingel [31]2 years ago

Answer:

If the same index fossil is found in different areas, the strata in each area were likely deposited at the same time. Thus, the principle of faunal succession makes it possible to determine the relative age of unknown fossils and correlate fossil sites across large discontinuous areas.

A sample of pure lithium chloride contains 16% lithium by mass. What is the % lithium by mass in a sample of pure lithium carbon
Anna35 [415]

Answer:

Percentage lithium by mass in Lithium carbonate sample = 19.0%

Explanation:

Atomic mass of lithium = 7.0 g; atomic mass of Chlorine = 35.5 g; atomic mass of carbon = 12.0 g; atomic mass of oxygen = 16.0 g

Molar mass of lithium chloride, LiCl = 7 + 35.5 = 42.5 g

Percentage by mass of lithium in LiCl = (7/42.5) * 100% = 16.4 % aproximately 16%

Molar mass of lithium carbonate, Li₂CO₃ = 7 * 2 + 12 + 16 * 3 =74.0 g

Percentage by mass of lithium in Li₂CO₃ = (14/74) * 100% = 18.9 % approximately 19%

Mass of Lithium carbonate sample = 2 * 42.5 = 85.0 g

mass of lithium in 85.0 g Li₂CO₃ = 19% * 85.0 g = 16.15 g

Percentage by mass of lithium in 85.0 g Li₂CO₃ = (16.15/85.0) * 100 % = 19.0%

Percentage lithium by mass in Lithium carbonate sample = 19.0%

A student calculated the molarity of a solution prepared by dissolving 0.730 mol of table sugar (sucrose, C12H22O11) in 1.8x10^3

V=1.8⋅10

3 mL=1.8L;

C=0.730mol

1.8 L=0.406 M

C= 1.8L

0.730mol =0.406M

The student made a mistake because he did not convert a unit of volume from milliliters to liters. After all, molarity is defined as the number of moles of solute per liter of solution.
