Simply put, density is how tightly “stuff” is packed into a defined space.

For example, a suitcase jam-packed with clothes and souvenirs has a high density, while the same suitcase containing two pairs of underwear has low density. Size-wise, both suitcases look the same, but their density depends on the relationship between their mass and volume.
Mass is the amount of matter in an object.
Volume is the amount of space that an object takes up in three dimensions.

Density is calculated using the following equation: Density = mass/volume or D = m/v.

If something is heavy for its size, it has a high density. If an object is light for its size it has a low density.

The relative densities of an object and the liquid it is placed in determine whether that object will sink or float.

Calculate the concentration of so42− ions in a 0.010 m aqueous solution of sulfuric acid. express your answer to four decimal pl
dimulka [17.4K]
<span>Answer: 0.00649M


The question is incomplete,
</span>

<span>You are told that the first ionization of the sulfuric acid is complete and the second ionization of the sulfuric acid has a constant Ka₂ = 0.012
</span>
<span>
With that you can solve the question following these steps"
</span>

<span>1) First ionization:
</span>
<span>
H₂SO₄(aq) --> H⁺ (aq) + HSO₄⁻ (aq)


Under the fully ionization assumption the concentration of HSO4- is the same of the acid = 0.01 M


2) Second ionization
</span>

<span>HSO₄⁻ (aq) ⇄ H⁺ + SO₄²⁻ with a Ka₂ = 0.012
</span>

<span>Do the mass balance:
</span>


<span><span>        HSO₄⁻ (aq)        H⁺        SO₄²⁻</span>
</span>
<span /><span /><span>        0.01 M  - x          x            x


</span><span>Ka₂ = [H⁺] [SO₄²⁻] / [HSO₄⁻]</span>
<span /><span>
=> Ka₂ = (x²) / (0.01 - x) = 0.012
</span><span />

<span>3) Solve the equation:


</span><span>x² = 0.012(0.01 - x) = 0.00012 - 0.012x</span>
<span /><span>
x² + 0.012x - 0.0012 = 0
</span><span />

<span>Using the quadratic formula: x = 0.00649
</span><span />

<span>So, the requested concentratioN is [SO₄²⁻] = 0.00649M</span>

The compound XCl4 contains 75.0% Cl by mass. What is the<br> element X?<br> nch of the following
krok68 [10]

The element X is titanium.

According to the question, the percentage by mass of Cl in XCl4  is 75.0%.

The percentage by mass is obtained from;

Mass of element in the compound/molar mass of compound * 100

Hence;

Let the mass of the unknown element be X

75 = 142/X + 142 * 100

75 (X + 142) = 142 * 100

75X + 10650 = 14200

75X =  14200 - 10650

X = 14200 - 10650/75

X = 47

Hence, X is titanium.

A compound contains 1.10 mol of K, 0.55 mol of Te, and 1.65 mol of O. What is the simplest formula of this compound?
sergiy2304 [10]

Answer:

K_2TeO_3

Explanation:

Given that:-

Moles of K = 1.10 moles

Moles of Te = 0.55 moles

Moles of O = 1.65 moles

Taking the simplest ratio of the moles of the elements as:-

   K : Te : O

1.10 : 0.55 : 1.65  

   2 :     1   : 3

Empirical formulas is the simplest or reduced ratio of the elements in the compound. So, the empirical formula is:- K_2TeO_3
