Answer:

Mg₃N₂

Explanation:

The empirical formula of a chemical compound is defined as the simplest positive integer ratio of atoms present in a compound. Using molecular mass of Mg (24,305g/mol) and mass of nitrogen (14,006g/mol), moles of each element are:

0,73g × (1mol / 24,305g) = 0,03 moles of Mg

0,28g × (1mol / 14,006g) = 0,02 moles of N

Dividing each value in 0,01 to obtain natural numbers:

0,03 moles of Mg / 0,01 = 3

0,02 moles of N / 0,01 = 2.

Thus, empirical formula is: Mg₃N₂

I hope it helps!

podryga [215]

Cu = 63.546
N= 14.001 g/mol
O= 15.999 g/mol * 3 = 47.997

Copper (II) Nitrate has a MW of 125.544 g/mol

6.25 x 125.544

= 784.65 <--- is your answer, if there were was a multiple choice or not :)

Give the product for the reaction of 1-butene with methanol in the presence of acid. The mechanism is the same as the mechanism

Nuetrik [128]

Answer:

The final result is 2-methoxybutane.

Explanation:

1-butene has a carbon-carbon double bound between C1 and C2.

When it will react with methanol, in the presence of an acid, the result will be an ether.

C4H8 + CH3OH → C5H12O

An acid-catalyzed ether synthesis from alkenes is limited by carbocation stability.

In the first step, the double bound will disappear. The C2 atom will be a C+ atom, this becaus it has only 3 bounds and not 4.

This C+ -atom will atract the O- atom to form an ether. The CH3 of methanol will bind on the C3 atom, this is the most stable position.

2-methoxybutane will be formed. It has a structural formula of C5H12O

1-methoxybutane will not be formed, because it's less stable.

1-butanol will be formed when water is added to 1-butene. The mechanism has the same principle but not the same product.

1-ethoxybutane and 2-ethoxybutane have a structural formula of C6H14O, this will not be the final result.

The final result is 2-methoxybutane.

How many moles of chromium(iii) nitrate are produced when chromium reacts with 0.85 moles of lead(iv) nitrate to produce chromiu

Alexxandr [17]

The moles of chromium (iii) nitrate produced is calculated as follows

write the equation for reaction

3 Pb(NO3)2 + 2 Cr = 2 Cr(NO3)3 + 3 Pb

by use of mole ratio between Pb(NO3)2 to Cr(NO3)3 which is 3 : 2 the moles of Cr(NO3)3 is therefore
= 0.85 x2 /3 = 0.57 moles

What is the percent yield of this reaction if 22.o g of Mgl2 is produced by the reaction of 25.0 g of Mg with 25.0 g of l2?

expeople1 [14]

% yield = 80.719

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

22.0 g of Mgl₂

25.0 g of Mg

25.0 g of l₂

Required

The percent yield

Solution

Reaction

Mg + I₂⇒ MgI₂

mol Mg = 25 g : 24.305 g/mol = 1.029

mol I₂ = 25 g : 253.809 g/mol = 0.098

Limiting reactant = I₂

Excess reactant = Mg

mol MgI₂ based on I₂, so mol MgI₂ = 0.098

Mass MgI₂ (theoretical):

= mol x MW

= 0.098 x 278.114

= 27.255 g

% yield = (actual/theoretical) x 100%

% yield = (22 / 27.255) x 100%

% yield = 80.719

What is the ph of a solution made by combining 157 ml of 0.35 m nac2h3o2 with 139 ml of 0.46 m hc2h3o2? the ka of acetic acid is

ExtremeBDS [4]

The first step is to calculate the molarity of each compound:
final volume of solution = 157 + 139 = 296 mL
molarity of nac2h3o2 = (157 x 0.35) / 296 = 0.1856 molar
molarity of hc2h3o2 = (139 x 0.46) / 296 = 0.216 molar

Then, we calculate the pH as follows:
pKa of acetic acid = -log(1.75 × 10^-5) = 4.7569
pH = pKa + log ([salt] / [acid])
= 4.7569 + log(0.1856 / 0.216)
= 4.691
