Mass percent and aqueous reactions
« on: October 06, 2006, 04:55:48 PM »
1) What are the mass percentages of the elemnts in KMnO4?
-I got 25%K, 35%Mn, 40%O

2) A compound has the formula XF3 and is found to contain 64.8% F by mass. What is the atomic weight of element X?
- I got 31.0 AMU

3) What volume of 0.350M HNO3 reacts completely with 42.2 mL of 0.150 M Na2CO3 in the following reactions?
- I got 18.2 mL

Can someone please tell me if those are correct?

1 & 2 or correct, 3 is not.
It looks like in #3 you forgot to balance the equation first, or balanced it wrong.

i got 2HNO3 + Na2CO3 --> H2CO3 + 2Na(NO3)2

i'm lost on number 3 ... do i use Molarity x Volume= Molarity x Volume?

Almost. Remember about stoichiometric coefficient. How many moles of nitric acid reacts with 1 mole of carbonate?

Yep. Download EBAS and learn how to use it to check answers.

Sure thing, that's just a way of checking, not solving. At least till you know what you are doing, then it is a way of saving time.

Yes, thank you. One more, When .200 L of a solution of .0580M CaCl2 is treated with an excess of a solution of AgNO3, a precipitate of AgCl is formed. the mass of AgCl is..
i got 3.33g

QUESTION, are strong the strong bases strong electrolytes?

and i don't get what this problem is asking for
Consider the following formula of species dissolved in water at room temperature.
W. NH3(aq)
X. NH4
Y. NH4Cl (aq)
Z. HCl
Which of them do not represent the major species present in the solution?

is it NH4 because it does not dissolve in water, and therefore it is at the bottom of the solution?
