What percentage of the mass of hydrofluoric acid (HF) is contributed by hydrogen?

Chemistry

Morgarella [4.7K]2 years ago
5 0

This problem is asking for the percent by mass of hydrogen in hydrofluoric acid. At the end, the answer turns out to be D. 5%​ as shown below:

<h3>Percent compositions:</h3>

In chemistry, percent compositions are used for us to know the relative amount of a specific element in a compound. In order to do so for hydrogen, we use the following formula, which can also be applied to any other element in a given compound:

\% H=\frac{m_H*1}{M_{HF}}*100\%

Where m_H stands for the atomic mass of hydrogen and M_{HF} for the molar mass of hydrofluoric acid. In such a way, we plug in the atomic masses of hydrogen (1.01 g/mol) and fluorine (19.0 g/mol) to obtain:

\% H=\frac{1.01g/mol*1}{1.01g/mol+19.0g/mol}*100\%\\\\\% H=5\%

Put the following elements into five pairs of elements that have similar chemical reactivity: F, Sr, P, Ca, O, Br, Rb, Sb, Li, S
kirill115 [55]

Explanation:

Given elements:

  F, Sr, P, Ca, O, Br, Rb, Sb, Li, S

Elements with the same chemical reactivity will belong to the same group on the periodic table. This implies that elements in the same column will have the same reactivity;

  Li and Rb are both alkali metals in group 1

  Ca and Sr are both alkali earth metals in group 2

  F and Br are halogens in group 7

  O and S are group 6 elements

 P and Sb are both in group 5 on the periodic table

So these groupings show elements with the same chemical properties.

Erbium (Er) is element 68 on the periodic table. A sample contains 5.04×1023 atoms of Er. Calculate the amount of Er.
Korvikt [17]

Answer:

139.98 g to nearest hundredth.

Explanation:

Using Avogadro's Number:

One mole (167.26 g) of Erbium  equates to  6.022141 * 10^23 atoms.

So 5.04 * 10^23 = 167.26 * 5.04/6.022141

= 139,98 g.

How do i balance the first chemical reaction above?? plz plz help
soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer:

2K +F₂→ 2KF

Explanation:

When we balance an equation, we are trying to ensure that the number of atoms of each element is the same on both sides of the arrow.

On the left side of the arrow, there is 1 K atom and 2 F atoms. On the right, there is 1 K and 1 F atom.

Since the number of K atoms is currently balanced, balance the number of F atoms.

K +F₂→ 2KF

Now, that the number of F atoms is balanced on both sides, check if the number of K atoms are balanced.

<u>Left</u>

K atoms: 1

F atoms: 2

<u>Right</u>

K atoms: 2

F atoms: 2

The number of K atoms is not balanced.

2K +F₂→ 2KF

<u>Left</u>

K atoms: 2

F atoms: 2

<u>Right</u>

K atoms: 2

F atoms: 2

The equation is now balanced.
