Knowing the number of valence electrons in one of the alien elements helps in identifying it because the number of valence electrons can help categorize the alien element. Similar elements have the same valence electrons and knowing the category of the element can help further analyze the element.

Answer:

All elements in the same group of the periodic table have the same number of valence electrons. The number of valence electrons always matches the ones place digit of the group number. Knowing the valence electrons of an alien element allows matching it with its group

1. Suppose 0.7542 g of magnesium reacts with excess oxygen to form magnesium oxide as the only product, what would be the theore
Alina [70]

Answer :

(1) The theoretical yield of product, MgO is, 1.257 grams.

(2) The percent yield of MgO is, 64.13 %

(3) If the percent yield is calculated to be over 100% then there might be some impurity present in the desired product.

Solution : Given,

Mass of Mg = 0.7542 g

Molar mass of Mg = 24 g/mole

Molar mass of MgO = 40 g/mole

First we have to calculate the moles of Mg.

\text{ Moles of }Mg=\frac{\text{ Mass of }Mg}{\text{ Molar mass of }Mg}=\frac{0.7542g}{24g/mole}=0.03142moles

Now we have to calculate the moles of MgO

The balanced chemical reaction is,

2Mg(s)+O_2(g)\rightarrow 2MgO(s)

From the reaction, we conclude that

As, 2 mole of Mg react to give 2 mole of MgO

So, 0.03142 moles of Mg react to give 0.03142 moles of MgO

Now we have to calculate the mass of MgO

\text{ Mass of }MgO=\text{ Moles of }MgO\times \text{ Molar mass of }MgO

\text{ Mass of }MgO=(0.03142moles)\times (40g/mole)=1.257g

Theoretical yield of MgO = 1.257 g

Experimental yield of MgO = 0.8922 g

Now we have to calculate the percent yield of MgO

\% \text{ yield of }MgO=\frac{\text{ Experimental yield of }MgO}{\text{ Theretical yield of }MgO}\times 100

\% \text{ yield of }MgO=\frac{0.8922g}{1.257g}\times 100=70.97\%

Therefore, the percent yield of MgO is, 70.97 %

If the percent yield is calculated to be over 100% then the product would be greater than 1.257 g which indicates that there might be some impurity present in the desired product.

Suppose that 0.323 g of an unknown sulfate salt is dissolved in 50 mL of water. The solution is acidified with 6M HCl, heated, a
geniusboy [140]

Answer:

1) 41.16 % = 0.182 grams

2) The alkali cation is K+ , to form the salt K2SO4

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of unknown sulfate salt = 0.323 grams

Volume of water = 50 mL

Molarity of HCl = 6M

Step 2: The balanced equation

SO4^2- + BaCl2 → BaSO4 + 2Cl-

Step 3: Calculate amount of SO4^2- in BaSO4

The precipitate will be BaSO4

The amount of SO4^2- in BaSO4 = (Molar mass of SO4^2-/Molar mass BaSO4)*100 %

The amount of SO4^2- in BaSO4 = (96.06 /233.38) * 100

= 41.16%

So in 0.443g of BaSO4 there will be 0.443 * 41.16 % = <u>0.182 grams</u>

<u />

<u />

2. If it is assumed that the salt is an alkali sulfate determine the identity of the alkali cation.

The unknown sulphate salt has 0.182g of sulphate. This means the alkali cation has a weight of 0.323-0.182 = 0.141g grams

An alkali cation has a chargoe of +1; sulphate has a charge of -2

The formula will be X2SO4 (with X = the unknown alkali metal).

Calculate moles of sulphate

Moles sulphate = 0.182 grams (32.1 + 4*16)

Moles sulphate = 0.00189 moles

The moles of sulphate = 0.182/(32.1+16*4)

The moles of sulphate = 0.00189 moles

X2SO4 → 2X+ + SO4^2-

For 2 moles cation we have 1 mol anion

For 0.00189 moles anion, we have 2*0.00189 = 0.00378 moles cation

Calculate molar mass

Molar mass = mass / moles

Molar mass = 0.141 grams / 0.00378 grams

Molar mass = 37.3 g/mol

The closest alkali metal is potassium. (K2SO4 )

Which balanced redox reaction is occurring in the voltaic cell represented by the notation of A l ( s ) | A l 3 ( a q ) | | P b
frez [133]

The question is missing. Here is the complete question.

Which balanced redox reaction is ocurring in the voltaic cell represented by the notation of Al_{(s)}|Al^{3+}_{(aq)}||Pb^{2+}_{(aq)}|Pb_{(s)}?

(a) Al_{(s)}+Pb^{2+}_{(aq)} ->Al^{3+}_{(aq)}+Pb_{(s)}

(b) 2Al^{3+}_{(aq)}+3Pb_{(s)} -> 2Al_{(s)}+3Pb^{2+}_{(aq)}

(c)Al^{3+}_{(aq)}+Pb_{(s)} ->Al_{(s)}+Pb^{2+}_{(aq)}

(d) 2Al_{(s)}+3Pb^{2+}_{(aq)} -> 2Al^{3+}_{(aq)}+3Pb_{(s)}

Answer: (d) 2Al_{(s)}+3Pb^{2+}_{(aq)} -> 2Al^{3+}_{(aq)}+3Pb_{(s)}

Explanation: <u>Redox</u> <u>Reaction</u> is an oxidation-reduction reaction that happens in the reagents. In this type of reaction, reagent changes its oxidation state: when it loses an electron, oxidation state increases, so it is oxidized; when receives an electron, oxidation state decreases, then it is reduced.

Redox reactions can be represented in shorthand form called <u>cell</u> <u>notation,</u> formed by: <em><u>left side</u></em> of the salt bridge (||), which is always the <em><u>anode</u></em>, i.e., its half-equation is as an <em><u>oxidation</u></em> and <em><u>right side</u></em>, which is always <em><u>the cathode</u></em>, i.e., its half-equation is always a <em><u>reduction</u></em>.

For the cell notation: Al_{(s)}|Al^{3+}_{(aq)}||Pb^{2+}_{(aq)}|Pb_{(s)}

Aluminum's half-equation is oxidation:

Al_{(s)} -> Al^{3+}_{(aq)}+3e^{-}

For Lead, half-equation is reduction:

Pb^{2+}_{(aq)}+2e^{-} -> Pb_{(s)}

Multiply first half-equation for 2 and second half-equation by 3:

2Al_{(s)} -> 2Al^{3+}_{(aq)}+6e^{-}

3Pb^{2+}_{(aq)}+6e^{-} -> 3Pb_{(s)}

Adding them:

2Al_{(s)}+3Pb^{2+}_{(aq)} -> 2Al^{3+}_{(aq)}+3Pb_{(s)}

The balanced redox reaction with cell notation Al_{(s)}|Al^{3+}_{(aq)}||Pb^{2+}_{(aq)}|Pb_{(s)} is

2Al_{(s)}+3Pb^{2+}_{(aq)} -> 2Al^{3+}_{(aq)}+3Pb_{(s)}
