Answer:

Mass of solution=100g

mass of salt=20g

so; mass of solute=80g

percentage composition =(mass of salt/total

mass) ×100

=  \frac{20}{100}  \times 100 \\  = 20\%

glad to help you

hope it helps

The percent composition by mass of a 100g salt solution which contains 20g salt is \bold{16.6\%}

<u>Solution:</u>  

Percent composition is calculated as, weight of the solute divided by amount of solute added to 100 g is solution multiplied by 100.

\Rightarrow \frac{\text {weight of solute}(g)}{\text {weight of solute}(g)+\text {weight of solution(g)}} \times 100

Given, 100 g of salt solution with 20 g of salt  

Weight of the solute and solvent is 20 + 100 g = 120 g  

percent composition=\frac{20}{120} \times 100=\frac{200}{12}=16.6

\therefore \text { percent composition } =16.6 \%

The first ionization energy, e, of a potassium atom is 0.696 aj. what is the wavelength of light, in nm, that is just sufficient
elena55 [62]
The formula to be used for this problem is as follows:

E = hc/λ, where h is the Planck's constant, c is the speed of light and λ is the wavelength. Also 1 aJ = 10⁻¹⁸ J

0.696×10⁻¹⁸ = (6.62607004×10⁻³⁴ m²·kg/s)(3×10⁸ m/s)/λ
Solving for λ,
λ = 2.656×10⁻⁷ m or <em>0.022656 nm</em>

Answer:

1. Galvanic oxidation. Example is the corrosion of aluminium wires when in contact with copper wires under wet conditions.

2. Rainwater or Damp/moist air

3. Chromium-plated steel screws or stainless steel screws or galvanized steel screws

Explanation:

1. Galvanic oxidation or corrosion occurs when two different metals with different electrode potentials are brought into contact with each other by means of an electrolyte (usually a aqueous solution), such that a redox reaction occurs leading to one metal with the more negative electrode potential (the anode) becoming oxidized, while the other less negative potential (the cathode) is reduced.

In order for galvanic corrosion to occur, three elements are required.

i. Two metals with different corrosion potentials (anode and cathode)

ii. Direct metal-to-metal electrical contact

iii. A conductive electrolyte solution (e.g. water) must connect the two metals on a regular basis.

For example oxidation (corrosion) of aluminium wires when in contact with copper wire under wet conditions.

2. The most likely electrolyte will be rainwater containing dissoved solutes (if the panel is in an exposed part of the house) or damp/moist air.

3. From the table, the most likely screw will be chromium-plated steel screws or stainless steel (made of iron and nickel) screws or galvanized steel (zinc-plated) screws.

All these possible screw components have a more negative electrode potential than copper. Thus they will serve as the anode in a galvanic oxidation with copper.
