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

trapecia [35]

<u>Answer:</u> Zinc will react with lead (II) nitrate solution.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Single displacement reaction is defined as the reaction in which more reactive element displaces a less reactive element from its chemical reaction.

The reactivity of metal is determined by a series known as reactivity series. The metals lying above in the series are more reactive than the metals which lie below in the series.

General equation for single displacement reaction follows:

A+BC\rightarrow AC+B

When zinc is reacted with calcium nitrate, the reaction does not take place as zinc is less reactive than calcium. Zinc lies below in the series than calcium.

Zn+Ca(NO_3)_2\rightarrow \text{No reaction}

But, when zinc is reacted with lead (II) nitrate, the reaction do take place as zinc is more reactive than lead. Zinc lies above in the series than lead.

The chemical equation for the reaction of zinc and lead (II) nitrate follows:

Zn+Pb(NO_3)_2\rightarrow Zn(NO_3)_2+Pb

Hence, zinc will react with lead (II) nitrate solution.

How much salt (NaCl) is carried by a river flowing at 30.0 m3/s and containing 50.0 mg/L of salt? Give your answer in kg/day.
ser-zykov [4K]

Answer:

129,600kg/day

Explanation:

The river is flowing at 30.0m^{3}/s

1m^{3}/s = 1000L

Multiply by 1000 to convert  to L/s

flowrate of river = 30*1000 =30,000L/s

Convert L/s to litre per day by multiplying by 24*60*60

flowrate of river = 30,000 * 24*60*60 L/day

                     = 2,592,000,000L/day

if the river contains 50mg of salt  in 1L of solution

lets find how many mg of salt (X) is contained in 2,592,000,000L/day

X= \frac{ 2,592,000,000*50}{1}

X= 129,600,000,000 mg/day

convert this value to kg/day by multiply by 10^{-6}

X= 129,600kg/day

The temperature on a distant, undiscovered planet is expressed in degrees B. For example, water boils at 180 ∘ B and freezes at
marin [14]

Answer:

40.3∘C

Explanation:

At planet B;

Water boils = 180∘C

Water freezes = 50∘C

In this planet the temperature difference = 180 - 50 = 130 compared to earth where the temperature difference is; 100 - 0 = 100

This means;

130 ∘C = 100 ∘C

x ∘C = 31 ∘C

x = 31 * 130 / 100

x = 40.3∘C

A solution is made by dissolving 58.125 g of sample of an unknown, nonelectrolyte compound in water. The mass of the solution is
e-lub [12.9K]

Answer:

molecular weight (Mb) = 0.42 g/mol

Explanation:

mass sample (solute) (wb) = 58.125 g

mass sln = 750.0 g = mass solute + mass solvent

∴ solute (b) unknown nonelectrolyte compound

∴ solvent (a): water

⇒ mb = mol solute/Kg solvent (nb/wa)

boiling point:

  • ΔT = K*mb = 100.220°C ≅ 373.22 K

∴ K water = 1.86 K.Kg/mol

⇒ Mb = ? (molecular weight) (wb/nb)

⇒ mb = ΔT / K

⇒ mb = (373.22 K) / (1.86 K.Kg/mol)

⇒ mb = 200.656 mol/Kg

∴ mass solvent = 750.0 g - 58.125 g = 691.875 g = 0.692 Kg

moles solute:

⇒ nb = (200.656 mol/Kg)*(0.692 Kg) = 138.83 mol solute

molecular weight:

⇒ Mb = (58.125 g)/(138.83 mol) = 0.42 g/mol
