The concentration of AlCl3 solution if 150 ml of the solution contains 550 mg of cl- ion is 0.0344 M

calculation

concentration = moles /volume in liters

volume in liters = 150 /1000= 0.15 L

number of moles calculation

write the equation for dissociation of Al2Cl3

that is AlCl3 ⇔ Al^3+ + 3 Cl ^-

find the moles of Cl^- formed

moles =mass/molar mass

mass in grams= 550/ 1000 =0.55 grams

molar mass of Cl^- =35.5 g/mol

moles is therefore= 0.55/35.5 =0.0155 moles

by use of mole ration betweem AlCl3 to Cl^- which is 1:3 the moles of AlCl3 is =0.0155 x 1/3= 5.167 x10^-3 moles

concentration of AlCl3 is therefore= 5.167 x10^-3/ 0.15 =0.0344 M

What is the empirical formula? A compound is used to treat iron deficiency in people. It contains 36.76% iron, 21.11% sulfur, an

Mandarinka [93]

Answer: The empirical formula of the compound is $Fe_1S_1O_4$

Explanation:

Empirical formula is defined formula which is simplest integer ratio of number of atoms of different elements present in the compound.

Percentage of iron in a compound = 36.76 %

Percentage of sulfur in a compound = 21.11 %

Percentage of oxygen in a compound = 42.13 %

Consider in 100 g of the compound:

Mass of iron in 100 g of compound = 36.76 g

Mass of iron in 100 g of compound = 21.11 g

Mass of iron in 100 g of compound = 42.13 g

Now calculate the number of moles each element:

Moles of iron= $\frac{36.76 g}{55.84 g/mol}=0.658 mol$

Moles of sulfur= $\frac{21.11 g}{32.06 g/mol}=0.658 mol$

Moles of oxygen= $\frac{42.13 g}{16 g/mol}=2.633 mol$

Divide the moles of each element by the smallest number of moles to calculated the ratio of the elements to each other

For Iron element = $\frac{0.658 mol}{0.658 mol}=1$

For sulfur element = $\frac{0.658 mol}{0.658 mol}=1$

For oxygen element = $\frac{2.633 mol}{0.658 mol}=4.001\approx 4$

So, the empirical formula of the compound is $Fe_1S_1O_4$

A bag of fertilizer is labeled 10-20-20. What is the actual percentage of phosphorus in the fertilizer?

aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Answer:

20% of phosphorus

Explanation:

A fertilizer is used to improve the fertility of soils. Most fertilizers contains the element nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium.

They are often designated NPK fertilizers.

Now we know that the numbers 10-20-20 depicts the nitrogen-phosphorus and potassium content of the fertilizer.

From the designation,

The actual percentage is 20% of phosphorus.

10% of nitrogen

20% of potassium

A precipitate forms when mixing solutions of sodium fluoride (NaF) and lead II nitrate (Pb(NO3)2). Complete and balance the net

Margarita [4]

Answer:

Pb^2+(aq) + 2F-(aq) → PbF2(s)

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

sodium fluoride = NaF

lead(II)nitrate Pb(NO3)2

Step 2: The unbalanced equation

NaF(aq) + Pb(NO3)2(aq) → PbF2(s) + NaNO3(aq)

Step 3: Balancing the equation

NaF(aq) + Pb(NO3)2(aq) → PbF2(s) + NaNO3(aq)

On the left side we have 2x NO3 (in Pb(NO3)2), on the right side we have 1x NO3 (in NaNO3). To balance the amount of NO3 we hvae to multiply NaNO3 on the right side by 2.

NaF(aq) + Pb(NO3)2(aq) → PbF2(s) + 2NaNO3(aq)

On the left side we have 1x Na (in NaF), on the right side we have 2x Na (in 2NaNO3). To balance the amount of Na we have to multiply NaF on the left side by 2. Now the equation is balanced.

2NaF(aq) + Pb(NO3)2(aq) → PbF2(s) + 2NaNO3(aq)

Step 4: Calculate net ionic equation

The net ionic equation, for which spectator ions are omitted - remember that spectator ions are those ions located on both sides of the equation - will , after canceling those spectator ions in both side, look like this:

2Na+(aq) + 2F-(aq) + Pb^2+(aq) + 2NO3-(aq) → PbF2(s) + 2Na+(aq) + NO3-(aq)

Pb^2+(aq) + 2F-(aq) → PbF2(s)

A tank containing both hf and hbr gases developed a leak. The ratio of the rate of effusion of hf to the rate of effusion of hbr

Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:

2.01

Explanation:

The effusion is the passage of the molecules by a small hole by a difference of pressure. By Graham's Law, the rate of the effusion is inversely proportional to the square of the molar mass of the compound. Thus,

rateHF/rateHBr = √MHBr /√MHF

MHBr = 81 g/mol

MHF = 20 g/mol

rateHF/rateHBr = √81/√20

rateHF/rateHBr = 2.01
