Strontium and chlorine combine in only one ratio: one strontium atom for every two chlorine atoms. Based on this

Chemistry

Vinvika [58]3 years ago

The combinations of Strontium and chlorine  that are possible are only those in which strontium and chlorine combine in the ratio of 1:2.

1) The possible combinations are

  • 4 strontium atoms and 8 chlorine
  • 2.7 * 10^19 strontium atoms and5.4 * 10^19 chlorine atoms

2) The combinations that are not possible are

  • 20 strontium atoms and 60 chlorine atoms
  • 130 billion strontium atoms and 195 billion chlorine

We have to work out the ratio of Strontium and chlorine in each of the given  combinations in the question. Only the combinations in which the ratio of Strontium and chlorine is 1:2 is possible.

First case:

4 strontium atoms and 8 chlorine atoms gives a Strontium and chlorine ratio of 1:2 so it is possible.

Second case:

20 strontium atoms and 60 chlorine atoms gives a Strontium and chlorine ratio of 1:3 hence it is not possible.

Third case:

2.7 * 10^19 strontium atoms and 5.4 * 10^19 chlorine atoms gives a Strontium and chlorine ratio of 1:2 hence it is possible.

Fourth case:

130 billion strontium atoms and 195 billion chlorine atoms gives a Strontium and chlorine ratio of 1:1.5 hence it is not possible.

A chemist needs 0.550 mol selenium for a reaction. What mass of selenium should a chemist use?
-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

The chemist would require to use 43.43 grams.

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem we need to know<u> how much do 0.550 moles of selenium weigh</u>. To do that we use selenium's<em> molar mass </em>and multiply it by the given number of moles:

  • 0.550 mol * 78.96 g/mol = 43.43 g

The chemist would require to use 43.43 grams.
