How many equivalents are present in 10 g of Ca2+? <br> 1 <br> 0.5 <br> 1.5 <br> 2
Lynna [10]

0.5

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of Ca²⁺ = 10g

unknown:

Equivalent weight = ?

Solution:

Equivalent weight that is the amount of electrons which a substance gains or loses per mole.

Ca²⁺ has +3 charge

It lost 2e⁻;

therefore;

  In 1 mole of  Ca²⁺, we have 2 equivalent weight

1 mol  Ca²⁺ = 2eq. wts. 

1 mol Ca x (40 g / 1 mol ) x (1 mol / 2 eq.wts.) = 20.0 g = 1 eq.wt. 

Therefore;

10.0 g  Ca²⁺ x (1 eq.wt. / 20.0 g) = 0.5 eq.wts.

Why atomic mass is an average vàlue​
lukranit [14]

Answer:

The atomic mass is the average number of protons and neutrons for all natural isotopes of an element. It is a decimal number.

Explanation:

Atomic Mass and Mass Number Example :

Hydrogen has three natural isotopes: 1H, 2H, and 3H. Each isotope has a different mass number.

1H has 1 proton. Its mass number is 1. 2H has 1 proton and 1 neutron. Its mass number is 2. 3H has 1 proton and 2 neutrons. Its mass number is 3. 99.98% of all hydrogen is 1H 0.018% of all hydrogen is 2H 0.002% of all hydrogen is 3H Together, they give a value of atomic mass of hydrogen equal to 1.0079 g/mol.

Concentrated nitric acid used in laboratory work is 68% nitric acid by mass in aqueous solution. What should be the molarity of
dsp73
The first thing we need to do here is to recognize the unit of molarity and the units of the given percentage of nitric acid.

Molarity is mol HNO3 / L of solution. This is our aim

The given percentage is 0.68 g HNO3/ g solution

multiplying this with density to convert g solution into mL solution and dividing with the molecular weight of HNO3 (63 g/mol) to convert g HNO3 to mol. Therefore we obtain

0.016 mol/ mL or 16.23 mol/ L (M)
