Answer:
The mass of strontium iodate = 496.07 grams
Explanation:
The balanced equation for the reaction is :
[tex]2RbIO3+Sr(NO_{3})_{2}\rightarrow 2RbNO_{3}+Sr(IO_{3})_{2}[/tex]
Molar mass = mass of substance present in 1 mole of the compound , is called the molar mass.
Here RbIO3 = rubidium iodate
Sr(NO3)2 = strontium nitrate
Sr(IO3)2 = strontium iodate
Molar mass of Sr(NO3)2 = 211.63 g/mol
1 mole Sr(NO3)2 = 211.63 g
Molar mass of Sr(IO3)2 = 437.43 g/mol
1 mole of Sr(IO3)2 = 437.43 g
According to the balanced equation ,
2 mole RbIO3 = 1 mole Sr(NO3)2 = 2 mole RbNO3 = 1 mole Sr(IO3)2
Hence
1 mole of Sr(NO3)2 is producing = 1 mole Sr(IO3)2
211.63 gram of Sr(NO3)2 will produce = 437.43 gram Sr(IO3)2
1 gram of Sr(NO3)2 will produce:
[tex]=\frac{437.43}{211.63}[/tex]
240 grams of Sr(NO3)2 will produce:
[tex]=\frac{437.43}{211.63}\times 240[/tex] grams of Sr(IO3)2
= 496.07 grams of Sr(IO3)2
The mass of strontium iodate = 496.07 grams
Molar mass calculation :
Sr(NO3)2 = Mass of Sr + 2(Mass of N)+ 6(Mass of O)
= 87.62 +2(14)+6(16)
=211.63 gram/mole

when sulfereic acid is mixed with aluminum hydroxide the reaction produces aluminum sulfate wand water. if 3.24 g of sulferic acid and 0.945 g of alumium hydroxide were used, what is the theoretical yield of aluminum sulfate in grams
Answer:
2.26 g
Explanation:
Data given:
mass of Sulfuric acid = 3.24 g
mass of Aluminum hydroxide = 0.945 g
Theoretical yield of Aluminum sulfate = ?
Solution:
First we look for the balance reaction
Reaction
3H₂SO₄ + 2Al(OH)₃ ----------> Al₂(SO₄)₃ + 6H₂O
Now we look for the limiting reactant on which the amount of aluminum sulfate depends
So,
3H₂SO₄ + 2Al(OH)₃ ----------> Al₂(SO₄)₃ + 6H₂O
3 mol 2 mol
from above reaction it is clear that 3 mole of H₂SO₄ combine with 2 mole of Al(OH)₃
Convert moles to mass
• molar mass of Al(OH)₃
molar mass of Al(OH)₃ = 27 + 3(16 + 1)
molar mass of Al(OH)₃ = 27 + 45
molar mass of Al(OH)₃ =72 g/mol
• molar mass of H₂SO₄
molar mass of H₂SO₄ = 2(1) + 32 + 4(16)
molar mass of H₂SO₄ = 2 + 32 + 64
molar mass of H₂SO₄ = 98 g/mol
So,
3H₂SO₄ + 2Al(OH)₃ ----------> Al₂(SO₄)₃ + 6H₂O
3 mol (98 g/mol) 2 mol (72 g/mol)
294 g 144 g
So its clear from the reaction that 294 g of H₂SO₄ react with 144 g of Al(OH)₃
now if we look at the given amounts the amount Al(OH)₃ is less then the amount of H₂SO₄
So, for Al(OH)₃ if we calculate the needed amount of H₂SO₄
So apply unity formula
294 g H₂SO₄ ≅ 144 g of Al(OH)₃
X g H₂SO₄ ≅ 0.945 of Al(OH)₃
Do cross multiplication
X g H₂SO₄ = 294 g x 0.945 g / 144 g
X g of H₂SO₄ ≅ 1.93 g
So, 1.93 g of H₂SO₄ will react out of 3.24 grams, the remaining amount of it will be in excess.
So,
Al(OH)₃ will be consumed completely an it will be limiting reactant.
-----------
Now to Calculate for the theoretical yield
First we look for the balance reaction
Reaction
3H₂SO₄ + 2Al(OH)₃ ----------> Al₂(SO₄)₃ + 6H₂O
Now we look for the mole mole ration of Al(OH)₃ to the amount of aluminum sulfate produced
So,
3H₂SO₄ + 2Al(OH)₃ ----------> Al₂(SO₄)₃ + 6H₂O
2 mol 1 mole
from above reaction it is clear that 1 mole of Al₂(SO₄)₃ produce by 2 mole of Al(OH)₃
As we know that
2 mole of Al(OH)₃ = 144 g
So,
if 144 g of Al(OH)₃ gives 1 mole Al₂(SO₄)₃ then how many moles of Al₂(SO₄)₃ will be produces by 0.945 g Al(OH)₃
So apply unity formula
144 g of Al(OH)₃ ≅ 1 mole of Al₂(SO₄)₃
0.945 g of Al(OH)₃ ≅ X mole of Al₂(SO₄)₃
Do cross multiplication
X mole of Al₂(SO₄)₃ = 0.945 g x 1 mole / 144 g
X mole of Al₂(SO₄)₃ = 0.0066 moles
So,
0.945 g of Al(OH)₃ produce 0.0066 mole of Al₂(SO₄)₃
Now convert moles of Al₂(SO₄)₃ to mass
Formula used:
mass in grams = no. of moles x molar mass . . . . . . (1)
• molar mass of Al₂(SO₄)₃
molar mass of Al₂(SO₄)₃ = 2(27) + 3(32 +4(16))
molar mass of Al₂(SO₄)₃ = 54 + 3 (32 +64)
molar mass of Al₂(SO₄)₃ = 54 + 3 (96)
molar mass of Al₂(SO₄)₃ = 54 + 288
molar mass of Al₂(SO₄)₃ =342 g/mol
Put values in equation 1
mass in grams = 0.0066 g x 342 g/mol
mass in grams = 2.26 g
So the theoretical yield of Aluminum sulfate (Al₂(SO₄)₃ ) is 2.26 g

If energy or mass can neither be created nor be destroyed then how is there electrical energy and potential energy and everything in the world possible?
Answer:
Energy can transfer (convert) from one form to other.
Explanation:
Law of Conservation of Energy : It states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed in a chemical reaction but can be converted from one from to another.
Potential Energy(P.E) : Energy possessed by the object due to its position and size.Near the ground it attains zero value or close to it.
Kinetic Energy(K.E) : The energy possessed by the object due to its speed .When the object is in motion it has kinetic energy
For example :
When a stone is placed (rest) at some height on the top of the building . It has only potential energy .The potential energy at this point is calculated by
P = mgh
Now , when the the stone is released. It falls to the ground . During its motion towards the ground , its speed increases but the distance of stone from the ground decreases .
Hence the Object in between the ground and building has both K.E and P.E
K.E + P.E = mgh + 1/2 mv^2
If the object reaches just near the ground. Its kinetic energy is maximum but potential energy is almost zero . So at this point ,
K.E = 1/2 mv^2
Hence the Same potential energy is converted into kinetic energy while reaching the ground .
The object itself has not created the energy in between the motion.Neither its energy goes to zero.
How many molecules are in 0.0124 mol of CH2O
Explanation:
Number of molecules can be calculated as ratio of given mass to molecular mass x Avogadro's number .
That is ;
Number of molecules = Given mass /molecular mass x Avogadro's number .
Number of molecules = given mass / molecular mass x 6.023 x 10²³
In the above asked question :
The moles of CH₂O = 0.0124 moles
The molecular mass = CH₂O
(atomic mass of C + +atomic mass of hydrogen + atomic mass of O
that is :
12 +1x 2+16=30
Now, substituting in formula, we get
number of molecules = 0.0124mole x Av. number '
Number of molecules = 0.0124 x 6.022 x 10²³
= 0.0746 x 10²³ molecules

Balance the following chemical equation, then answer the following question. C8H18(g) + O2(g) →CO2(g)+H2O(g) How many grams of oxygen are required to react with 14.0 grams of octane (C8H18) in the combustion of octane in gasoline?
To react with 14.0 grams of octane, 48.9 grams of oxygen are required in the combustion of octane in gasoline.
Explanation:To balance the chemical equation C8H18(g) + O2(g) → CO2(g) + H2O(g), you need to ensure that the number of atoms of each element is equal on both sides of the equation. The balanced equation is:
C8H18(g) + 12.5O2(g) → 8CO2(g) + 9H2O(g)
To determine the mass of oxygen required to react with 14.0 grams of octane, you need to use stoichiometry. From the balanced equation, you can see that the mole ratio between octane and oxygen is 1:12.5. First, convert the mass of octane to moles by dividing it by its molar mass. Then, use the mole ratio to find the moles of oxygen. Finally, multiply the moles of oxygen by its molar mass to find the mass of oxygen:
14.0g C8H18 ÷ 114.22g/mol C8H18 = 0.1223 mol C8H18
0.1223 mol C8H18 × 12.5 mol O2 ÷ 1 mol C8H18 = 1.5288 mol O2
1.5288 mol O2 × 31.998 g/mol O2 = 48.9 grams of oxygen

if you combine 390.0 mL of water at 25.00 °C and 110.0 mL of water at 95.00 °C, what is the final temperature of the mixture? use 1.00 g/mL as the density of water.
Answer:
T(final) = 40.4 °C
Explanation:
Given data:
Density of water = 1.00 g/mL
Volume of water at 25°C = 390.0 mL
Volume of water at 95°C = 110.0 mL
Final temperature of mixture = ?
Solution:
Heat absorbed by warm water = heat lost by hot water
q lost = -q lost ....... (1)
Formula:
q = m.c.ΔT
ΔT(warm) = T(final) - 25°C
ΔT(hot) = T(final) - 95°C
Mass of water:
d = m/v
1 g/mL = m/ 390 mL
390 g = m
For hot water:
d = m/v
1 g/mL = m/ 110.0 mL
110.0 g = m
Now we will put the values in equation 1.
390 g. c. (T(final) - 25°C) = - 110.0 g .c. (T(final) - 95°C)
390 T(final) - 9750 °C = -110 T(final) + 10450 °C
390 T(final) +110 T(final) = 10450 °C +9750 °C
500 T(final) = 20200
T(final) = 20200/500
T(final) = 40.4 °C

Calculate the density of a proton, given that the mass of a proton is 1.0073 amu and the diameter of a proton is 1.73 × 10 ^− 15 m . The answer should be in g/cm^3
Answer:
Density = 6.17 * 10^14 g/cm³
Explanation:
Given Parameters
Mass of the proton = 1.0073 amu
Diameter of the proton = 1.75 * 10^-15 m
Required:
Calculate the density of the proton.
Density is calculated using the following formula;
Density = mass / volume
Where mass should be in grams and volume should be in cm ³
Calculating mass of a proton in grams.
Mass = 1.0073 amu
First, we convert to kilogram
Mass = 1.0073 * 1.66054 * 10^-27 kg
Then we convert to grams
Mass = 1.0073 * 1.66054 * 10^-27 * 10³ g
Mass = 1.0073 * 1.66054 * 10^-24 g
Mass = 1.673 * 10^-24 g
Then we calculate the volume of the proton
Volume = 4/3πR³ where R = Radius
And R = ½d.
First calculate the radius in centimetres
R = ½ * 1.73 * 10^-15 m
R = 0.865 * 10^-15
Convert to centimetres
R = 0.865 * 10^-15 * 10² m
R = 0.865 * 10^-13 cm
So, Volume = 4/3 * 3.14 * (0.865 * 10^-13)³
Volume = 4.187 * (0.865 * 10^-13)³
V = 4.187 * 0.865³ * 10^-39
V = 2.71 * 10^-39cm³
So, density = Mass / Volume becomes
Density = 1.673 * 10^-24 g / 2.71 * 10^-39cm³
Density = 0.617 * 10^15 g/cm³
Density = 6.17 * 10^14 g/cm³
Which of the following factors contributes to the increase in ionization energy from left to right across a period?
Answer:
an increase in the number of protons
Explanation:
As one moves from left to right in the periodic table, the protons steadily increase by one across each period. This increase in number of protons implies an increase in the size of the nuclear charge and a consequent increase in electrostatic attraction between the nucleus and the outermost electron. This increased nuclear attraction leads to an increase in ionization energy across the period.
The increased number of proton increase in ionization energy from left to right across a period.
Ionization Energy:
It is the energy that required to take out one electron from the outer shell of an isolated atom.
When we move from left to right in the periodic table, the number of proton increase but the number of shell remain constant.
This increase the strength of attraction between outer most shell's electron and nucleus.
Therefore, the increased number of proton increase in ionization energy from left to right across a period.

Cross-contamination between raw and cooked foods, or foods that will not be cooked, such as salads, can happen in a matter of seconds if they come into contact with contaminated surfaces, utensils, or hands. The time frame of 10-20 seconds is consistent with the rapid nature of bacterial transfer.
To prevent such contamination, it is crucial to maintain cleanliness in food preparation areas, wash hands thoroughly before handling food, and keep raw and cooked foods separate. The other options, 5-10 seconds, 5-10 minutes, and 10-20 minutes, do not accurately represent the speed at which bacterial contamination can occur, with the fastest being within seconds under the right conditions.
