Answer:

$\boxed {\boxed {\sf 8.2 \ grams}}$

Explanation:

According to the Law of Conservation of Mass, the mass of the products must equal the mass of the reactants.

mass products = mass reactants

In this problem, the reaction is:

$iron + oxygen = ferric \ oxygen$

The reactants are iron and oxygen. We know the mass of the iron sample is 10 grams.

The product is ferric oxide. The mass of the ferric oxide sample is 18.2 grams.

$10 \ g + oxygen=18.2 \ g$

We want to find how many grams of oxygen reacted. We have to get the oxygen by itself. 10 is being added to oxygen. The inverse of addition is subtraction. Subtract 10 from both sides of the equation.

$10 \ g - 10 \ g+ oxygen = 18.2 \ g - 10 \ g$

$oxygen= 18.2 \ g - 10 \ g$

$oxygen= 8.2 \ g \\$

8.2 grams of oxygen reacted with 10 grams of iron to form 18.2 grams of ferric oxide.

A stock bottle of an acid reads: 56% by mass and 1.25 specific gravity. If the molar mass of the acid is 70g, find the mole per

TiliK225 [7]

Answer:

10 mol / dm³

Explanation:

Cubic decimeter is the same unit as liter; so, mole per cubic decimeter is mole per liter, and that is the unit of concentration of molarity. Thus, what is asked is the molarity of the solution. This is how you find it.

1. Take a basis: 1 dm³ = 1 liter = 1,000 ml

2. Calculate the mass of 1 liter (1,000 ml) of solution:

density = mass / volume ⇒ mass = density × volume

Here, the density is given through the specific gravity

Scpecific gravity = density of acid / density of water

Take density of water as 1.00 g/ml.

density of solution = 1.25 g/ml

mass solution = 1.25 g/ml × 1,000 ml = 1,250 g

3. Calculate the mass of solute (pure acid)

% m/m = (mass of solute / mass of solution) × 100

56 = mass of solute / 1,250 g × 100

mass of solute = 56 × 1,250g / 100 = 700 g

4. Calculate the number of moles of solute:

moles = mass in grams / molar mass = 700 g / 70 g/mol = 10 mol

5. Calculate molarity (mol / dm³)

M = number of moles of solute / liter of solution = 10 mol / 1 liter = 10 mol/liter.

A sample of Cd(OH)2 is added to pure water and allowed to come to equilibrium at 25ºC. The concentration of Cd +2 = 1.7 x 10 -5M

Archy [21]

Answer:

$Ksp=2.0x10^{-14}$

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, given the solubilization of cadmium (II) hydroxide:

$Cd(OH)_2(s)\rightleftharpoons Cd^{2+}(aq)+2OH^-(aq)$

The solubility product can be set up as follows:

$Ksp=[Cd^{2+}][OH^-]^2$

Now, since we know the concentration of cadmium (II) ions at equilibrium and the mole ratio of these ions to the hydroxide ions is 1:2, we infer that the concentration of the latter at equilibrium is 3.5x10⁻⁵ M. In such a way, the resulting Ksp turns out to be:

$Ksp=(1.7x10^{-5})(3.4x10^{-5})^2\\\\Ksp=2.0x10^{-14}$

Regards!
