A3.00- g sample of an alloy (containing only pb and sn) was dissolved in nitric acid (hno3). sulfuric acid was added to this solution, which precipitated 1.69 g of pbso4. assuming that all of the lead was precipitated, what is the percentage of sn in the sample?

The reaction between Pb and H2SO4 will be

Pb+2  + SO4^-2 = PbSO4(s)

So each mole of Pb will give one mole of PbSO4

Moles of PbSO4 obtained = mass / molar mass = 1.69 / 303.26 = 0.0056 moles

Moles of Pb present = 0.0056

Mass of Pb present = moles X atomic mass = 0.0056 X 207 = 1.16 grams

So mass of Sn in sample = 3 - 1.16 = 1.84

% of Sn = Mass of Sn X 100 / total mass = 1.84 X 100 / 3 = 61. 33%

c8h10 is your answerr

the answer is b because, investigating whether another species of moth also drinks tears might be interesting, but it would not directly explain why this species of moth does.

to explain why this species of moth drinks tears, the scientist could ask: "what nutrients that moths need are in elephant tears? "

the scientist could experiment with moth repellent or oter ways to keep the moths away, but that would not answer his original question.
