The formula of the compound is XY. This means that the relation between the moles is 1: 1. One mole of X per one mole of Y.

From the information about the element X you can determine the number of moles of X (which is the same that the number of moles of Y).

# of moles of X = weigth of X / atomic mass of X = 17.15 g / 22.9 g/mol = 0.74598

Now the atomic mass of Y = weight of Y / # of moles of Y = 14.17 g / 0.74598 mol = 19 amu

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>

From the Bohr equation in the introduction, the calculated energy of an electron in the sixth Bohr orbit of a hydrogen atom is
Natalka [10]

Answer:

<em><u>= - 0.38 eV</u></em>

Explanation:

Using Bohr's equation for the energy of an electron in the nth orbital,

E = -13.6 \frac{Z^{2} }{n^{2} }

Where E = energy level in electron volt (eV)

Z = atomic number of atom

n = principal state

Given that n = 6

⇒ E = -13.6 × \frac{1^{2} }{6^{2} }

<em><u>= - 0.38 eV</u></em>

<em><u></u></em>

<em>Hope this was helpful.</em>

In the manufacture of paper, logs are cut into small chips, which are stirred into an alkaline solution that dissolves several o
Kitty [74]

Answer:

The estimated feed rate of logs is 14.3 logs/min.

Explanation:

The product of the process is 2000 tons/day of dry wood pulp, of 85 wt% of cellulose. That represents (2000*0.85)=1700 tons/day of cellulose.

That cellulose has to be feed by the wood chips, which had 47 wt% of cellulose in its composition. That means you need (1700/0.47)=3617 tons/day of wood chips to provide all that cellulose.

Th entering flow is wood chips with 45 wt% of water. This solution has an specific gravity of 0.640.

To know the specific gravity of the wood chips we have to write a volume balance. We also know that Mw=0.45*M and Mc=0.55*M.

V=V_c+V_w\\\\M/\rho=M_c/\rho_c+Mw/\rho_w\\\\M/\rho=0.55*M/\rho_c+0.45*M/\rho_w\\\\1/\rho=0.55/\rho_c +0.45/\rho_w\\\\0.55/\rho_c=1/\rho-0.45/\rho_w\\\\0.55/\rho_c=1/(0.64*\rho_w)-0.45/\rho_w=(1/\rho_w)*(\frac{1}{0.64}-\frac{0.45}{1}  )\\\\0.55/\rho_c=1.1125/\rho_w\\\\\rho_c=\frac{0.55}{1.1125}*\rho_w= 0.494*\rho_w

The specific gravity of the wood chips is 0.494.

The average volume of a log is

V_l=(\pi*D^{2} /4)*L=(3.1416*\frac{8^{2}  \, in^{2} }{4} )*9ft*(\frac{12 in}{1ft})= 21714 in^{3}=12.57 ft^{3}

The weight of one log is

M=\rho*V=0.494*\rho_w*12.57  ft^{3}\\\\M=0.494*62.4\frac{lbm}{ft^{3} }*12.57ft^{3}\\\\M=387.5lbm

To provide 3617 ton/day of wood chips, we need

n=\frac{supply}{M_{log}}=\frac{3617 tons/day}{387.5 lbm}*\frac{2204lbm}{1ton}\\\\n=20573 logs/day=14.3 logs/min

The feed rate of logs is 14.3 logs/min.

Instrumental methods need only a microscopic sample to return an accurate result. Why is this so?
uranmaximum [27]
Instrumental methods of analysis rely on machines.The visualization of single molecules, single biological cells, biological tissues and nanomaterials is very important and attractive approach in analytical science.
There are several different types of instrumental analysis. Some are suitable for detecting and identifying elements, while others are better suited to compounds. In general, instrumental methods of analysis are:
-Fast
-Accurate (they reliably identify elements and compounds)
-Sensitive (they can detect very small amounts of a substance in a small amount of sample)
