Answer:

Explanation:

2Mg (s) + O2 (g) →→ 2MgO (s)

The equation is already balance

Given that 4.5g of Mg yield Mg0

Then molar mass of each element

Mg=24g/mol

O2=16g/mol

2Mg= 2×24=48g/mol

2MgO=2(24+16)

2MgO=80g/mol

Then, the number of mol of Mg is

Molar mass=mass/mole

Mole=mass/molar mass

Mole=4.5/48

Mole=0.09375mole

Number of mole of magnesium is 0.09375mole

2 mole of Mg produce 2mole of MgO

Therefore they are in ration 1:1

Then 0.09375mole of Mg will produce 0.09375mole of MgO

Then the mass of MgO yield is

Mass=molar mass of 2MgO ×mole

Mass=80×0.09375

Mass=7.5g

Therefore, 7.5g of MgO will be yield

Answer:

7.46 g

Explanation:

From the balanced equation, 2 moles of Mg is required for 2 moles of MgO.

The mole ratio is 1:1

mole = mass/molar mass

mole of 4.50 g Mg = 4.50/24.3 = 0.185 mole

0.185 mole Mg will tiled 0.185 MgO

Hence, theoretical yield of MgO in g

mass = mole x molar mass

            0.185 x 40.3 = 7.46 g

What is the empirical formula? A compound is used to treat iron deficiency in people. It contains 36.76% iron, 21.11% sulfur, an
Mandarinka [93]

Answer: The empirical formula of the compound is Fe_1S_1O_4

Explanation:

Empirical formula is defined formula which is simplest integer ratio of number of atoms of different elements present in the compound.

Percentage of iron in a compound = 36.76 %

Percentage of sulfur in a compound = 21.11 %

Percentage of oxygen in a compound = 42.13 %

Consider in 100 g of the compound:

Mass of iron in 100 g of compound = 36.76 g

Mass of iron in 100 g of compound = 21.11 g

Mass of iron in 100 g of compound = 42.13 g

Now calculate the number of moles each element:

Moles of iron=\frac{36.76 g}{55.84 g/mol}=0.658 mol

Moles of sulfur=\frac{21.11 g}{32.06 g/mol}=0.658 mol

Moles of oxygen=\frac{42.13 g}{16 g/mol}=2.633 mol

Divide the moles of each element by the smallest number of moles to calculated the ratio of the elements to each other

For Iron element = \frac{0.658 mol}{0.658 mol}=1

For sulfur element = \frac{0.658 mol}{0.658 mol}=1

For oxygen element = \frac{2.633 mol}{0.658 mol}=4.001\approx 4

So, the empirical formula of the compound is Fe_1S_1O_4

compare and contrast melting 10 kg of ice freezing 1 kg of water. be sure to address temperature,heat flow, and thermal energy
liraira [26]
<span>Melting is an endothermic process (i.e. it absorbs heat), whereas freezing is an exothermic process (i.e. it releases heat, or can be thought of, albeit incorrectly from a thermodynamics standpoint, as "absorbing cold"). The standard enthalpy of fusion of water can be used for both scenarios, but standard enthalpy is in units of energy/mass, so 10 times as much energy will be absorbed in the former scenario (melting 10 kg of ice) than what will be absorbed in the latter scenario (freezing 1 kg of water). For both processes, assuming the water is pure and at standard atmospheric pressure, and the entire mass remains at thermal equilibrium, the temperature of both the solid and the liquid will remain at precisely 0 degrees Celsius (273 K) for the duration of the phase change.</span>

How many moles are there in 3.612 X 10^24 molecules of phosgene (COCL2)
Ugo [173]

Answer:

Explanation:

No of molecules = 3.612*10(24)

Avogadro's number = 6.022*10(23)

no of moles = No of molecules/Avogadro's number

No of moles =3.612*10(24)/6.022*10(23)

No of moles = 6mol

A sample weighing 30.0 grams contains 1.5g of salt/ determine the percent salt found in the sample
jeka57 [31]
<span>Percentage by mass is the amount in mass of a component in a mixture per 100 unit of mass of the total mixture. Percentage by mass is the same as  %w/w. We can determine this by dividing the mass of the solute with the total mass of the mixture. We calculate as follows:

Percent salt = 1.5 g salt / 30.0 g x 100 = 5%  </span>
