Answer:

a) 31 g

b) 0.867, 0.132

c) 86.75%, 13.24%

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of the sample of galena = 234 g

Mass of the lead in the sample = 203 g

Now,

galena = sulfur + lead

thus,

a) Mass of the sulfur will be calculated as:

= mass of the sample of galena - mass of lead

on substituting the values, we have

= 234 - 203

or

= 31 g

b) Now,

the mass fraction of lead will be calculated as = ( mass of lead) /  (total mass of the galena sample)

= 203/234 = 0.867

and,

Mass fraction of sulfur will be = ( mass of the sulfur in the sample) / ( total mass of the sample)

thus we have

= 31/234

⇒ 0.132

(c) Now the mass percentage of lead in the sample = (mass of lead in the sample ) / (total mass of sample) × 100%

= (203 / 234) x 100%

= 86.75%

and

the mass percentage of sulfur in the sample = ( mass of sulfur in the sample ) / (total mass of the sample) × 100%

= (31 / 234) × 100%

⇒ 13.24%

Liquid bromine is added to sodium iodide crystals
gulaghasi [49]

The following chemical reaction will occur:

Br₂ (l) + 2 NaI (s) → 2 NaBr (s) + I₂ (s)

Explanation:

Because the bromide (Br₂) have a higher reactivity than iodide (I₂) it is able the remove the iodide from its salts. So the bromide will react with sodium iodine (NaI) to produce sodium bromide (NaBr) and iodine.

The chemical reaction is:

Br₂ (l) + 2 NaI (s) → 2 NaBr (s) + I₂ (s)

where:

(l) - liquid

(s) - solid

How many grams of magnesium chloride can be produced if we react 32.50 g Mg with 32.50 g HCl
daser333 [38]
First, you will have to write out and balance the equation, so:

Because we’re looking at a single element reacting with an acid, we know that the reaction must be a single replacement.

Mg + HCl —-> MgCl2 + H2

We use H2, because hydrogen can only exist by itself when covalently bonded to itself, in a diatomic state.
Mg has an oxidation state of +2, while Cl has an oxidation state of -1. Therefore, you need 2 Cl to cancel the charge fully.

Now it needs to be balanced, so you get:

Mg + 2HCl —-> MgCl2 + H2

Now we have molar ratios to do our conversions

So we’ll use stoichiometry to find the theoretical yield for both reactants, and whichever one is the LEAST is the answer.

(32.5g Mg) (1mol/24.3g) (1mol MgCl2/1 mol Mg) (95.3g/1 mol MgCl2) = 127.5g

(32.5g HCl) (1mol/36.5) (1mol MgCl2/2mol HCl) (95.3g/1 mol MgCl2) = 42.4g

So, you will get 42.4 g of MgCl2

Different phases of water have different densities. True or false?
Art [367]

Answer: True

Explanation:

Indeed, <em>different phases of water have diffferent densities.</em>

<em />

The different phases, solid, liquid, and gas, of water are characterized by the separation of the molecules.

The density is a measure of concentration of the mass of a substance. Mathematically, density is the ratio of the mass to the volume:

  •         density = mass / volume

A high density means a high ratio of mass to volume, and a low density means a low ratio of mass to volume.

The volume is the space occupied by the substance and the space occupied is related to the separation among the particles (atoms, molecules or ions).

Since, each state is characterized by certain separation of the particles, you can conclude that<em> the different phases of water have different densities</em>.

The densities of the gases are low and highly dependent on the temperature and pressure. So, the water vapor is the phase with the lowest densities.

Liquid water in the range of 5°C - 100°C has densities in the range  0.9998°C to 0.9587 g/cm³.

The density of water at 4 °C (liquid phase) is 1.000 g/cm³.

Due to the special interactions of hydrogen bonds, the density of water starts to decrease at temperatures below 4 °C ( 0.9999 g/cm³ - 0.9839 g/cm³), causing the frozen water (ice) to be less dense and float in the water.
