yousuf89 Posted March 30, 2010 Posted March 30, 2010 An experimental alloy contained by copper and tantalum of the alloy was dissolved and analyzed gravimetrically. a) the copper was precipitated and weighed as CuO, a mass of 0.1739g was obtained. Calculate the %w/w Cu in the alloy. b) the tantalum was precipitated and weighed as Ta2O5, a mass 0.4748g was obtained. calculate the %w/w Ta in the alloy.
John Cuthber Posted March 30, 2010 Posted March 30, 2010 How far have you got so far, and do you know what a mole is?
yousuf89 Posted March 30, 2010 Author Posted March 30, 2010 It's like the no of atom in a subtance, right? seriously, I'm really don't know how to do it? I really need it for my test revision
Fuzzwood Posted March 30, 2010 Posted March 30, 2010 Then you also need to know what a mole is. Google is your friend.
Chembio Posted March 30, 2010 Posted March 30, 2010 (edited) A mole is not just no. of atoms or molecules in a substance.A mole can be defines as a chemical mass unit, defined to be 6.022 x 1023 molecules, atoms, or some other unit. The mass of a mole is the gram formula mass of a substance. gram formula or atomic mass of CuO is 79.545 g/mol and that is of Ta2O5 is 441.893 g/mol, Cu=53.55g/mol and Ta=180.95g/mol No. Of. Moles of a substance = Mass of that substance in grams/gram formula mass of that substance I think you can do it further..... Good luck for your Xams....
