Answer: X could represent the element of oxidation state (+2) such as (Mg2+, Pb2+, Ba2+, Ca2+, Ba2+, Zn2+, ....etc)

Explanation:

  • The formula of the compound XSO4 is a neutral compound that the algebraic summation of the oxidation states of different elements in it must be zero.
  • The group SO4 has the oxidation state (2-), that S has (6+) oxidation state and O has (2-) oxidation state, so the oxidation of SO4 = (6+) + (-2*4) = -2.
  • It is clear that X must have the oxidation state 2+.
  • So, X could be represents by many different elements such as (Mg2+, Pb2+, Ba2+, Ca2+, Ba2+, Zn2+, Fe2+, ....etc)

X represents group 5A by my periodic table. P2O5 is an example. <span>Since there's charge specified, it must be a neutral atom. For this, each of the X would need a +5 charge. On the other hand, if it's in group 15, then it can form a covalent bond, since each atom in group 15 can share 5 atoms.</span>

A 226.4-l cylinder contains 65.5% he(g) and 34.5% kr(g) by mass at 27.0°c and 1.40 atm total pressure. what is the mass of he in
Vadim26 [7]
First, we determine the number of moles of gas present using the ideal gas equation.

PV = nRT
n = PV / RT
n = (1.4 * 226.4) / (0.082 *(27 + 273.15))
n = 12.88

Next, we use the given percentages to find the moles of helium present
Moles of helium = 0.655 * 12.88
Moles of helium = 8.44

Next, we use the formula:
Mass = moles * molar mass

Mass of helium = 8.44 * 4

Mass of helium = 33.76 grams

Aluminum oxide has a composition of 52.9% aluminum and 47.1% oxygen by mass. if 16.4 g of aluminum reacts with oxygen to form al
Dafna1 [17]
The balanced chemical reaction is written as:

4Al + 3O2 = 2Al2O3

To determine the mass of oxygen gas that would react with the given amount of aluminum metal, we use the initial amount and relate this amount to the ratio of the substances from the chemical reaction. We do as follows:

moles Al = 16.4 g ( 1 mol / 26.98 g ) = 0.61 mol Al
moles O2 = 0.61 mol Al ( 3 mol O2 / 4 mol Al ) = 0.46 mol O2
mass O2 = 0.46 mol O2 ( 32.0 g / mol ) = 14.59 g O2

Therefore, to completely react 16.4 grams of aluminum metal we need a minimum of 14.59 grams of oxygen gas.

Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

1.17 grams

Explanation:

Let's consider the balanced equation for the combustion of ethylene.

C₂H₄(g) + 3 O₂(g) → 2 CO₂(g) + 2 H₂O(l)

We can establish the following relations:

  • 1411 kJ are released (-1411 kJ) when 1 mole of C₂H₄ burns.
  • The molar mass of C₂H₄ is 28.05 g/mol.

The grams of C₂H₄ burned to give 59.0 kJ of heat (q = -59.0 kJ) is:

-59.0kJ.\frac{1molC_{2}H_{4}}{-1411kJ} .\frac{28.05gC_{2}H_{4}}{1molC_{2}H_{4}} =1.17gC_{2}H_{4}

Which undefined geometric term is described as a two-dimensional set of points that has no beginning or end?
adell [148]

Answer:

  • <em>The two-dimensional set of points that has no beginning or end is described by the undefined geometric term</em> <u>plane.</u>

Explanation:

There are three <em>undefined terms</em><em> in geometry</em>:

  • point,
  • line, and
  • plane

They are referred as undefined terms because they are not defined in a formal way, i.e. using mathematically defined words. At the end these terms are abstractions (ideas).

The point has no dimensions, it can be represented by the tip of a sharp pencil.

The line is referred as an infinite set of joined points that extend indefinitely in one direction (from right to left, from north to south), so it has one dimension. The intersection of of two perpendicular walls is an example of what a line is.

Finally, the term to which the question is referred is the plane: an infinite set of joined points that extends in two dimensions. An example of plane is the surface of quite water. The plane does not have depth, only extension; that is why it has only two dimensions.

So, you should remember: points do not have dimensions, lines have one dimension, and planes have two dimensions.
