The proprietor of a rock shop insists that a nugget is pure gold. if the nugget occupies a volume of 5.40 ml, what would its mas

s have to be if it were truly pure gold? (density gold = 19.3 g/ml)

Density of gold = 19.3 g/mL

Density can be calculated from volume and mass of a substance as follows,

Density = \frac{Mass}{Volume}

Given the volume of gold nugget = 5.40 mL

Calculating the mass of gold nugget from density and volume:

Density = \frac{Mass}{Volume}

Mass = Density * Volume

5.40 mL * 19.3 \frac{g}{mL} =104.22 g

Therefore, the mass of the nugget is 104.22 g

Which of the following statements is true about the following reaction?
MAVERICK [17]

The correct reaction equation is:

3NaHCO_{3} (aq) + C_{6}H_{8}O_{7} (aq) \rightarrow 3CO_{2} (g) + 3H_{2}O (l) + Na_{3}C_{6}H_{5}O_{7} (aq)

Answer:

b) 1 mole of water is produced for every mole of carbon dioxide produced.

Explanation: <u>CONVERT EVERYTHING TO MOLES OR VOLUME, THEN COMPARE IT WITH THE COMPOUND'S STOICHIOMETRY IN CHEMICAL EQUATION.</u>

a) <u>22.4 L of CO_{2} gas</u> is produced only when <u>\frac{22.4}{3} L of  C_{6}H_{8}O_{7}</u> is reacted with 22.4 L of NaHCO_{3}. So it is wrong.

b) Since in the chemical equation the stoichiometric coefficient of CO_{2}  and H_{2}O are same so the number of moles or volume of each of them will be same whatever the amount of reactants taken. <u>Therefore it is correct option.</u>

c)  6.02\times 10^{23} molecules is equal 1 mole of Na_{3}C_{6}H_{5}O_{7} if produced then 3 moles of NaHCO_{3} is required, which is not given in the option. So it is wrong.

d) 54 g of water or 3 moles of H_{2}O (<em>Molecular Weight of water is 18 g</em>) is produced when 3 moles of NaHCO_{3} is used but in this option only one mole of NaHCO_{3} is given. So it is wrong.

A sample of ammonia has a mass of 82.9 g. how many molecules are in this sample?
alina1380 [7]
The chemical formula for ammonia is NH3. So first, you need to find the molar mass of ammonia (how many grams in one mole).
N=14g
H3=3g
So one mole of NH3 is 17 grams, you can divide 82.9 grams by 17 grams to find the number of molecules. The answer should be 4.876 moles (molecules) of ammonia. Hope this helps!

A 0.50 M solution of formic acid, HCOOH, has a pH of 2.02. Calculate the percent ionization of HCOOH
kirza4 [7]

Answer is: <span>the percent ionizationof formic acid is 1,82%.
Chemical reaction: HCOOH(aq) </span>⇄ H⁺(aq) + HCOO⁻(aq).<span>
pKa(</span>HCOOH) = 3,77.

Ka(HCOOH) = 1,7·10⁻⁴.

c(HCOOH) = 0,5 M.

<span> [H</span>⁺] = [HCOO⁻] = x; equilibrium concentration.<span>
[HA] = 0,1 M - x.
Ka = [H</span>⁺] · [HCOO⁻] / [HCOOH].<span>
0,00017 = x² / 0,5 M - x.
Solve quadratic equation: x = 0,0091 M.
α = 0,0091 M ÷ 0,5 M · 100% = 1,82%.</span>

In order to reduce the exposure to organic solvents like turpentine, some art instructors recommend the students clean brushes a
kykrilka [37]
Generally speaking, organic molecules tend to dissolve in solvents that have similar physical properties. A good rule of thumb is that "like dissolves like". Meaning, polar compounds can dissolve polar compounds and nonpolar compounds can dissolve nonpolar compounds.

To apply this to the current problem, we are told that the brushes are being cleaned with vegetable oil or mineral oil. In this case, the oils are used as solvents. In order for these solvents to be effective, the compounds they are trying to dissolve must be similar in structure and properties to other oils. Therefore, vegetable oil or mineral oil will be most effective in removing oil-based paints, as these will have the similar properties needed to dissolve in the oil solvents.
