The percent gallium in gallium bromide is 30.30 %.

Explanation:

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$ .....(1)

Given mass of gallium bromide = 0.165 g

Molar mass of titanium gallium bromide = 229.53 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\text{Moles of gallium bromide}=\frac{0.165g}{229.53g/mol}=0.00072mol$

The chemical equation for the reaction of gallium bromide and silver nitrate follows:

$GaBr_2+2AgNO_3\rightarrow 2AgBr(s)+Ga(NO_3)_2$

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

1 moles of gallium bromide produces 1 mole of gallium nitrate

So, 0.00072 moles of gallium bromide will produce = $\frac{1}{1}\times 0.00072=0.00072moles$ of gallium nitrate

Now, calculating the mass of gallium nitrate from equation 1, we get:

Molar mass of gallium nitrate = 193.73 g/mol

Moles of gallium nitrate = 0.00072 moles

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$0.00072mol=\frac{\text{Mass of gallium nitrate}}{193.73g/mol}\\\\\text{Mass of gallium nitrate}=0.139g$

Calculating the mass of gallium in the reaction, we use unitary method:

In 1 mole of gallium nitrate, 1 mole of gallium atom is present.

In 193.73 grams of gallium nitrate, 69.72 g of gallium atom is present.

So, in 0.139 grams of gallium nitrate, the mass of gallium present will be = $\frac{69.72}{193.73}\times 0.139=g$

To calculate the percentage composition of gallium in gallium bromide, we use the equation:

$\%\text{ composition of gallium}=\frac{\text{Mass of gallium}}{\text{Mass of gallium bromide}}\times 100$

Mass of gallium bromide = 0.165 g

Mass of gallium = 0.050 g

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\%\text{ composition of gallium}=\frac{0.050g}{0.165g}\times 100=30.30\%$

Hence, the percent gallium in gallium bromide is 30.30 %.

answer: c. the experiment shows that the red substance experienced a chemical change.

explanation: chemical change is the change in which chemical composition of the substance changes. physical change is the change in which there is no change in chemical composition.

chemical changes are accompanied by following changes:

a) precipitate formation

b) energy is released or absorbed

c) formation of bubbles

d) change in color

as it is given that the red color has disappeared and there is production of gas, it means the red substance has undergone a chemical change.

answer : a model is often used to explain and make things easier to understand when any scientific topic needs to be demonstrated and explained.

as in this case where a scientist wants to use a model to present the results of his detailed scientific investigation. he should do it as it will him to make the audience understand the concept in a much better way. also, it can be changed according to new scientific understandings.
