The mass percent of $Co^{3+},Cl^{-},H^+\text{ and }O^{2-}$ ions in the compound are 49.28 %, 29.79 %, 2.33 % and 18.63 % respectively

Explanation:

We are given:

Mass of silver chloride = 0.308 grams

Mass of cobalt (III) oxide = 0.145 grams

Mass of sample containing chloride ions = 0.256 grams

Mass of sample containing $Co^{3+}$ ions = 0.416 grams

We know that:

Molar mass of silver chloride = 143.4 g/mol

Molar mass of chlorine ion = 35.45 g/mol

Molar mass of cobalt (III) oxide = 165.86 g/mol

Molar mass of $Co^{3+}$ ion = 117.86 g/mol

Molar mass of water = 18 g/mol

Molar mass of hydrogen ion = 1 g/mol

Molar mass of oxygen ion = 16 g/mol

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

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

To calculate the mass percentage of ions in sample, we use the equation:

$\text{Mass of ion}}{\text{Mass of sample}}\times 100$ .......(2)

For chlorine ion:

Calculating moles of AgCl by using equation 1:

Moles of AgCl = $\frac{0.308g}{143.4g/mol}=0.00215mol$

The chemical equation for the ionization of silver chloride follows:

$AgCl\rightarrow Ag^++Cl^-$

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

1 mole of silver chloride produces 1 mole of chlorine ions

So, 0.00215 moles of silver chloride will produce = $\frac{1}{1}\times 0.00215=0.00215mol$ of chloride ions

Mass of chloride ions = $(0.00215mol\times 35.45g/mol)=0.0762g$

Putting values in equation 2, we get:

$\text{Mass percent of chloride ion}=\frac{0.0762g}{0.256g}\times 100\\\\\text{Mass percent of chloride ion}=29.76\%$

Mass percent of chloride ion = 29.76 %

For $Co^{3+}$ ion:

Calculating moles of cobalt (III) oxide by using equation 1:

Moles of cobalt (III) oxide = $\frac{0.145g}{165.86g/mol}=0.00087mol$

The chemical equation for the ionization of cobalt (III) oxide follows:

$Co_2O_3\rightarrow 2Co^{3+}+3O^{2-}$

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

1 mole of cobalt (III) oxide produces 2 moles of cobalt ions

So, 0.00087 moles of cobalt (III) oxide will produce = $\frac{2}{1}\times 0.00087=0.00174mol$ of cobalt ions

Mass of cobalt ions = $(0.00174mol\times 117.86g/mol)=0.205g$

Putting values in equation 2, we get:

$\text{Mass percent of cobalt ion}=\frac{0.205g}{0.416g}\times 100\\\\\text{Mass percent of cobalt ion}=49.28\%$

Mass percent of cobalt ion = 49.28 %

For hydrogen and oxygen ion:

Calculating mass percent of water:

Mass percent of water = 100 - (29.76 + 49.28) = 20.96 %

Let the mass of compound be 100 grams. So, mass of water in the compound will be 20.96 g

For hydrogen:

In 18 grams of water, mass of hydrogen ion present is (1 × 2) = 2 g

So, in 20.96 grams of water, mass of hydrogen ion present will be = $\frac{2}{18}\times 20.96=2.33g$

Putting values in equation 2, we get:

$\text{Mass percent of hydrogen ion}=\frac{2.33g}{100g}\times 100\\\\\text{Mass percent of hydrogen ion}=2.33\%$

Mass percent of hydrogen ion = 2.33 %

For oxygen:

In 18 grams of water, mass of oxygen ion present is (16 × 1) = 16 g

So, in 20.96 grams of water, mass of oxygen ion present will be = $\frac{16}{18}\times 20.96=18.63g$

Putting values in equation 2, we get:

$\text{Mass percent of oxygen ion}=\frac{18.63g}{100g}\times 100\\\\\text{Mass percent of oxygen ion}=18.63\%$

Mass percent of oxygen ion = 18.63 %

Hence, the mass percent of $Co^{3+},Cl^{-},H^+\text{ and }O^{2-}$ ions in the compound are 49.28 %, 29.79 %, 2.33 % and 18.63 % respectively

the volume of fluid displaced would equal the volume of the gas. use a gas syringe - this is a laboratory instrument that can be used to withdraw a certain volume of gas from a closed system or to measure the volume of gas from a chemical reaction.

Modern pennies are composed of zinc coated with copper. a student determines the mass of a penny to be 2.482 g and then makes several scratches in the copper coaling (to expose the underlying zinc). the student puts the scratched penny in hydrochloric acid, where the following reaction occurs between the zinc and the hcl (the copper remains undissolved): zn(s) + 2 hcl(aq) → h2(g) + zncl(aq)the student collects the hydrogen produced over water at 25 °c. the collected gas occupies a volume of 0.899 l at a total pressure of 79 j mmhg. calculate the percent zinc (by mass) in the penny. (assume that all the zn in the penny dissolves.)
