Concept explainers
a)
Interpretation:The mass of sulfur in the galena sample is to be calculated.
Concept introduction:Law of conservation of mass states that in an isolated system mass of system must remain constant over time that means system’s quantity can neither be added or nor be removed.
In a sample or a mixture, the mass fraction is mass of one substance divided by the mass of the total sample or mixture.
The mass percentageis calculated as the mass of a substance divided by the total mass of the sample, multiplied by
b)
Interpretation: The mass fraction of lead and sulfur in the galena sample should be calculated.
Concept introduction: Law of conservation of mass states that in an isolated system mass of system must remain constant over time that means system’s quantity can neither be added or nor be removed.
In a sample or a mixture, the mass fraction is mass of one substance divided by the mass of the total sample or mixture.
The mass percentage is calculated as the mass of a substance divided by the total mass of the sample, multiplied by
c)
Interpretation: The mass percent of lead and sulfur in the galena sample should be calculated.
Concept introduction: Law of conservation of mass states that in an isolated system mass of the system must remain constant over time that means the system’s quantity can neither be added or nor be removed.

- Soap is made by the previous reaction *see image. The main difference between one soap and another soap isthe length (number of carbons) of the carboxylic acid. However, if a soap irritates your skin, they mostlikely used too much lye.Detergents have the same chemical structure as soaps except for the functional group. Detergentshave sulfate (R-SO4H) and phosphate (R-PO4H2) functional groups. Draw the above carboxylic acidcarbon chain but as the two variants of detergents. *see imagearrow_forwardWhat are the reactions or reagents used? *see imagearrow_forwardWhat are the reactions or reagents used? *see imagearrow_forward
