Large amounts of an unknown compound were isolated from seawater. The compound contained 32.0 grams ofbromine and 4.9 grams of magnesium. What is its percent composition?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

87% bromine and 13% magnesium

Explanation:

The compound contained 32.0 grams of bromine and 4.9 grams of magnesium.

We need to find its percent composition.

Mass of the sample = mass of bromine + mass of magnesium

= 32 g + 4.9 g

= 36.9  g

Percentage composition of bromine,

[tex]\%=\dfrac{32}{36.9}\times 100\\\\=86.7\\\\=87\%[/tex]

The percentage composition of magnesium,

[tex]\%=\dfrac{4.9}{36.9}\times 100\\\\=13.27\\\\=13\%[/tex]

So, its percent composition is 87% bromine and 13% magnesium.

Hydrogen bonds are in the family of Van der Waals forces. They are weaker than ionic and covalent bonds but they cause interesting changes with different chemicals.

What is one of the changes that hydrogen bonds are responsible for?

A. Cause DNA has the double helix shape.

B. Causes salts quickly dissolve in water.

C. Cause sugar looks like a crystal.

D. Cause liquid H2O to have a larger volume than frozen (solid) H2O

Answers

Answer:

The answer is B. Van der Waals forces are weaker than ionic and covalent bonds.

Explanation:

In general, if we arrange these molecular forces from the strongest to weakest, it would be like this:

Covalent bonds > Ionic bonds > Hydrogen bonds > Dipole-Dipole Interactions > Van der Waals forces

Covalent bonds are known to have the strongest and most stable bonds since they go deep and into the inter-molecular state. A diamond is an example of a compound with this characteristic bond.

Ionic bonds are the next strongest molecular bond following covalent bonds. This is due to the protons and electrons causing an electro-static force which results to the strong bonds. An example would be Sodium Chloride (NaCl), which when separated is Na⁺ and Cl⁻.

Van der Waals forces, also known as Dispersion forces, are the weakest type of molecular bonds. They are only formed through residual molecular attractions when molecules pass by each other. It doesn't even last long due to the uneven electron dispersion. It can be made stronger by adding more electrons in the molecule. This kind of molecular bonds appear in non-polar molecules such as carbon dioxide.

HOPE THIS HELPS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The change that Hydrogen Bonds are most likely responsible for would be:

B). Causes salts to quickly dissolve in water.

As per the details provided, the hydrogen bonds are classified into the category of Van der Waals forces and the primary reason behind this has been that it leads salt to solvate immediately in the water. Amongst all the bonds, covalent bonds are characterized as the toughest while ionic bonds and hydrogen bonds are followed by it in terms of strength.The reason for which hydrogen bonds cause the change of allowing salts to dissolve immediately is that it illustrates a weaker strength of molecules due to its formation with residual uneven construction.

Thus, option B is the correct answer.

1. Calculate the RFM of Fe(NO3)2

Answers

Answer:

The Relative Formula Mass of Fe(NO₃)₂ is 179.8524 grams

Explanation:

The Relative Formula Mass is the mass of one mole of a compound expressed in grams, obtained by adding together the Relative Atomic Masses, RAM, of the elements which makes the compound

The Relative Formula Mass of a compound is the same as its Relative Molecular Mass

The relative formula mass of Fe(NO₃)₂ is given as follows;

The relative atomic mass of Fe = 55.845 amu

The relative atomic mass of nitrogen, N = 14.0067 amu

The relative atomic mass of oxygen, O = 15.999 amu

Therefore, we have;

The formula mass of Fe(NO₃)₂ = (55.845 + 2×(14.0067 + 3×15.999)) amu = 179.8524 amu

The Relative Formula Mass of Fe(NO₃)₂ = 179.8524 grams.

Describe the relationship between frequency and wavelength in your own words

Answers

Are frequency and wavelength the same thing? No, they are not the same but each is mathematically related to the other. Effectively, the wavelength is the distance between one wave peak and the next wave peak, or in other words, the distance between one wave high point and the next high point. Alternatively it could of course be said that wavelength is the distance between one wave low point and the next wave low point, but lets not get pedantic about it.

Think of waves in the ocean where a person may be observing the top of one wave and the top of the next wave. The wavelength is the distance between these two wave tops, or peaks. With waves in the ocean, the frequency of the waves will be the number of times that a wave peak crosses any given point on the ocean. It is probably easiest to measure frequency of waves from the ocean by standing on the beach and counting how many waves come up on the sand relative to any given time frame. Frequency is typically measured in how many waves per second but with ocean waves we are better to measure how many waves per minute because naturally the frequency will be less than one per second.

There is actually quite a bit of science over how ocean waves travel around our planet because high and low tide in the ocean are created by the moon. There is a theory that the moon creates waves that have a wavelength equal to half of the circumference of planet Earth. This is because there is a high tide at Earths point that is closest to the moon and then another high point that is at the greatest distance from the moon. The problem is that to keep up with the moon one needs to travel around the Earths equator at about 1800 kph, which is impractical for an ocean wave because they quite simply cannot travel at that fast a speed or velocity (technically angular velocity). This is what causes ocean waves to become so messy at times.

When discussing waves, most people are most comfortable discussing electromagnetic waves because almost all communication systems relied on in modern society are based on these waves and their frequency. When collecting electromagnetic waves, like TV waves, for example, there are several components to the antenna. One of them will typically have a loop of metal, which is where the required energy waves (carrying the required signal) are picked up or collected by the antenna. Don’t worry about the other components of the antenna because most are there simply to remove unwanted background waves that may spoil the quality of the signal that we collect. With the TV antenna, the distance across this “collection loop” is the wavelength that the antenna is tuned to collect.

The reason for a loop on the piece of metal that collects TV waves, rather than using a straight piece of wire, is so that all wavelengths that are close to the required one, will be collected. To get slightly more technical, in modern systems we have “frequency modulation”, which is what FM stand for. This means we deliberately make minor adjustments to the precise frequency, but I better not go into that.

The frequency of a TV wave that is being collected is the number of times in any time frame, that a wave front or wave peak, will cross the collection point. With typical electromagnetic waves like TV waves, we use a frequency that is measured to be so many Hertz. The Hertz is the standard measure of such things and it is equal to a number of wavelengths per second. The reason for this is that electromagnetic waves travel at the speed of light, which is incredibly fast.

If we are talking in the old fashioned “long wave” AM radio waves, then the wavelength is often several hundred metres in length. In Melbourne, Australia, the nearest large city to my home, the government owned ABC used a frequency of 774 kHz for many decades. They still do in fact, although most people tuned in probably rely on a repeater station these days and these will broadcast in a higher frequency. 774 kHz is a frequency of 774 thousand cycles per second. This sounds like a high frequency when compared to most other waves, even sound waves, yet because radio waves travel so fast, the wavelength is slightly greater than 387 metres in wavelength, which is almost 424 yards in wavelength.

When comparing wavelength to frequency, one is the inverse of the other so this means that the higher the frequency, the shorter the wavelength, with the rate of travel (velocity) being the factor that determines what sort of figures we come up with when comparing one to the other.

1) How much heat does 23.0 g of water absorb as its temperature increases from 25.4 °C to 42.8 °C?

2) A sample of unknown metal has a mass of 120.7 g. As the sample cools from 90.5 °C to 25.7 °C, it releases 7020 J of energy. What is the specific heat of the sample?

Answers

Answer:

c = 0.898 J/g.°C

Explanation:

1) Given data:

Mass of water = 23.0 g

Initial temperature = 25.4°C

Final temperature = 42.8° C

Heat absorbed = ?

Solution:

Formula:

Q = m.c. ΔT

Q = amount of heat absorbed or released

m = mass of given substance

c = specific heat capacity of substance

ΔT = change in temperature

Specific heat capacity of water is 4.18 J/g°C

ΔT = 42.8°C - 25.4°C

ΔT = 17.4°C

Q = 23.0 g ×  × 4.18 J/g°C × 17.4°C

Q = 1672.84 j

2) Given data:

Mass of metal = 120.7 g

Initial temperature = 90.5°C

Final temperature = 25.7 ° C

Heat released = 7020 J

Specific heat capacity of metal = ?

Solution:

Formula:

Q = m.c. ΔT

Q = amount of heat absorbed or released

m = mass of given substance

c = specific heat capacity of substance

ΔT = change in temperature

ΔT = 25.7°C - 90.5°C

ΔT = -64.8°C

7020 J = 120.7 g ×  c ×  -64.8°C

7020 J = -7821.36 g.°C ×  c

c = 7020 J / -7821.36 g.°C

c = 0.898 J/g.°C

Negative sign shows heat is released.

Answer:

5. Element J has the highest atomic number

6. Elements G and L have the same number of electrons in their outermost shell.

Explanation:

The periodic table of elements is a table which shows the arrangement of the elements in the order of increasing atomic number. Starting from the topmost left-hand side of the table where the element with the least atomic number is placed, and going across the table from left to right and down to the lowest point to the right of the table, where the element with the highest atomic number is located, the atomic number of elements progressively increases.

Looking at the table, it can be seen that the element J is found at the lowest point to the right of the table. Therefore, element J has the highest atomic atomic number.

6. In the periodic table, elements are arranged into groups and periods. The groups are the columns while the periods are the rows. Elements in the same column or group have the same number of electrons in their outermost shell. Therefore, element G and L have the same number of electrons in their outermost shell.

What is the molar mass of Cr2(SO4)3?
O 148.1 g
0 288.0 g
O 344.2 g
0 392.2 g
200.0 g

Answers

Answer:

392g

Explanation:

The given compound is;

         Cr₂(SO₄)₃

To find the molar mass, we sum the atomic masses of the elements in the compounds together.

Atomic mass of Cr  = 52

                           S  = 32

                            O  = 16

So;

 Molar mass  = 2(52) + 3[32 + 4(16)]  = 392g/mol

A sample of He has volume of 4.40 L at 555 torr and 33.0 C. Find the new pressure if the volume decreases to 3.50 L and the temperature increases to 44.0 C.
723 torr
504 torr
800. torr
612 torr

Answers

Answer:

723 torr

Explanation:

Using the formula;

P1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2

Where;

P1 = initial pressure (torr)

V1 = initial volume (Litres)

T1 = initial temperature (°C)

P2 = final pressure (torr)

V2 = final volume (L)

T2 = final temperature (°C)

Based on the information provided in this question, V1 = 4.40L, P1 = 555 torr, T1 = 33.0 °C + 273 = 306K, V2 = 3.50 L, P2 = ?, T2 = 44.0 °C + 273 = 317K.

Using the formula above:

555 × 4.4/306 = P2 × 3.5/317

2442/306 = 3.5P2/317

Cross multiply;

2442 × 317 = 306 × 3.5P2

774114 = 1071 P2

P2 = 774114 ÷ 1071

P2 = 722.79

P2 = 723 Torr

What is the correct number of digits to express a measurement

Answers

Answer:

Examples of measured numbers: The diameter of a coin, such as 10.2 mm. The weight of an object, such as 8.887 grams. The length of a pen, such as 12 cm.

Explanation:

Answer:

It completely depends on what you are measuring, what instrument you are using, and the uncertainty associated with your measurement.

Explanation:

When expressing a measurement, there is always going to be a part that you know, and a part that you guess. They both make up known numbers collectively called significant figures (commonly shortened to "sig figs"). For instance, imagine you are measuring the length of a pencil. Let's say it is a typical ruler with divisions of 0.1 cm (picture for reference). You measure the pencil, and to your eyes it looks like it is about 9 cm and 5 small tick marks (so, 0.5 cm), so we'll call that 9.5 cm. Now, this is a known value, so you are certain that it is a least 9.5 cm. However, it may be true that there is one more decimal place that can be known. The general rule is that you want to add one more uncertain digit to the rightmost side of the number, and how many digits depends on the divisions of the instrument. Our ruler has divisions of 0.1 cm (the small tick marks), and so we will go one more place out, and add another digit. Now, let's say our eyes are pretty good, so let's say it's 9.5 cm, and then add that one uncertain digit, a 0 to the smallest division of 0.1, so, 0.10. The final measurement we record is 9.50 cm. Now, it may seem like we are simply guessing or even being unreasonable in our assessment of how long this pencil is. I can promise you that not knowing the actual measurement of this pencil will not make a spaceship crash because of a specification that was not the "right measurement". For those life-or-death measurements, much more precise measurement machines are used; this is just a pencil. Also, it would be unreasonable to say that it is 9.500000 cm or 9.500001 cm. We do not have that kind of certainty with this ruler, only divisions of 0.1 cm, so we can only estimate out to one more decimal place.

In short, find the smallest division of a ruler or whatever device (like a chemical beaker) you are using, and then add one uncertain digit to the end of that. If it's 0.1 cm, then add one digit to that. (example: 5.6 --> 5.63; 3 because that is what it looks like on the ruler). If it's 1 cm, then add an extra .1, so the measurement is 1.1 cm. And of course, it's not always cm you are using, that was just an example. Best of luck!
