Answer:

Calcium

Explanation:

Since the element reacts with oxygen to form an oxide with the formula MO, the charge on the element is +2.

Also, since the oxide MO when dissolved in water is basic, the metal is an alkali earth metal.

From the above conditions;

The metal is not arsenic because arsenic is a metalloid has the  following oxides As₂O₃ and As₃O₅ and are respectively amphoteric and acidic in nature

The metal is not germanium because is a metalloid and even though germanium oxide has the formula GeO₂, it is amphoteric.

The metal is not chlorine because chlorine is a non-metal

The metal is definitely calcium because calcium oxide has the formula CaO and calcium is an alkaline earth metal.

The metal is not selenium because selenium is anon-meal and its oxide has the formula Se0₂ and is acidic

What is the mass of 22.4 L of H2 at STP?
Vanyuwa [196]

A. 1.01 is the right answer

Since

The formula is Pv= nRT

P=1 atm

V= 22.4 L

N= x

r= 0.0821

t = 273 k (bc it’s standard temperature)

So (1)(22.4)=(x)(0.0821)(273)

X= 1.001

the half life of the radioactive element strontium-90 is 29.1 years. If 16 grams of strontium-90 are initially present, how many
8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

4 g after 58.2 years

0.0156 After 291 years

Explanation:

Given data:

Half-life of strontium-90 = 29.1 years

Initially present: 16g

mass present after 58.2 years =?

Mass present after 291 years =?

Solution:

Formula:

how much mass remains =1/ 2n (original mass) ……… (1)

Where “n” is the number of half lives

to find n

For 58.2 years

n = 58.2 years /29.1 years

n= 2

or  291 years

n = 291 years /29.1 years

n= 10

Put values in equation (1)

Mass after 58.2 years

mass remains =1/ 22 (16g)

mass remains =1/ 4 (16g)

 mass remains = 4g

Mass after 58.2 years

mass remains =1/ 210 (16g)

mass remains =1/ 1024 (16g)

mass remains = 0.0156g

How many grams of nano3 would you add to 500g of h2o in order to prepare a solution that is 0.500 molal in nano3?
VARVARA [1.3K]
When the concentration is expressed in molality, it is expressed in moles of solute per kilogram of solvent. Since we are given the mass of the solvent, which is water, we can compute for the moles of solute NaNO3.

0.5 m = x mol NaNO3/0.5 kg water
x = 0.25 mol NaNO3

Since the molar mass of NaNO3 is 85 g/mol, the mass is

0.25 mol * 85 g/mol = 21.25 grams NaNO3 needed

What is the yield of uranium from 2.50 kg U3O8?
mr_godi [17]

Answer: Thus the yield of uranium from 2.50 kg U_3O_8 is 2.12 kg

Explanation:

According to avogadro's law, 1 mole of every substance weighs equal to molecular mass and contains avogadro's number (6.023\times 10^{23}) of particles.

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{molar mass}}

moles of U_3O_8=\frac{2.50\times 1000g}{842g/mol}=2.97mol    (1kg=1000g)

As 1 mole of U_3O_8 contains = 3 moles of U

2.97 mole of U_3O_8 contains = \frac{3}{1}\times 2.97=8.91moles moles of U

Mass of Uranium=moles\times {\text {Molar mass}}=8.91mol\times 238g/mol=2120g=2.12kg  

 ( 1kg=1000g)

Thus the yield of uranium from 2.50 kg U_3O_8 is 2.12 kg
