A student was given a 2.850-g sample of a mixture of potassium nitrate and potassium bromide and was asked to find the percentage of each compound in the mixture. She dissolved the sample and added a solution that contained an excess of silver nitrate, AgNO3. The silver ion precipitated all of the bromide ion in the mixture as AgBr. It was filtered, dried, and weighed. Its mass was 1.740 g. What was the percentage of each compound in the mixture

See explanation

Explanation:

The reaction occurs as follows;

KBr(aq) + AgNO3(aq) > AgBr(s) + KNO3(aq)

Number of moles of AgBr formed = mass /molar mass =1.740 g/187.77 g/mol = 0.0093 moles

From the reaction equation;

1 mole of KBr yields 1 mole of AgBr

Hence the number of moles of KBr reacted = 0.0093 moles

Mass of KBr present = 0.0093 moles × 119g/mol = 1.11 g

Mass of KNO3 = 2.850 g - 1.11 g = 1.74 g

Percentage of KBr = 1.11 g/2.850 g × 100 = 38.9%

Percentage of KNO3 = 1.74 g/2.850 g × 100 = 61.1%

assuming that your periodic table has eighteen columns, you should highlight   the four elements in the third column from the left of the table.

neutral atoms of elements after calcium contain d electrons. the energy of d orbitals of a particular main shell lies between the energy of the s and p orbitals of the next main shell. for example, electrons in the have energy higher than those in the orbital while lower than those of the orbital.

by the aufbau principle, electrons fill orbitals one at a time, starting from those of the lowest energy. the orbital is therefore filled right after orbitals and before orbitals.  

potassium has electron configuration and calcium . the s orbital of a main shell holds a maximum of two electrons. the next element would thus have the electron configuration and satisfy the requirements.

a neutral atom of the element contains three electrons on top of the most recent noble gas element. it should thus be placed in the third column of the periodic table. both scandium and yttrium would satisfy the conditions. an aufbau diagram indicates that the 4f orbital is filled before the 5d. however, it appears that exceptions exists for both lanthanum and actinium. neutral atoms of the two d-block elements also demonstrate the and should be highlighted as well.
