Answer:
              288 g.mol⁻¹

Data Given:


Rate of Effusion of O₂  =  Rₐ  =  3

Rate of Effusion of Unknown  =  Rₓ  =  1

Molecular Mass of Oxygen  =  Mₐ  =  32 g.mol⁻¹

Molecular Mass of Unknown  =  Mₓ  =  ?

Formula Used,
                             Rₐ / Rₓ  =  \sqrt{Mx/Ma}

Putting Values,
                             3 / 1  =  \sqrt{Mx/32}
Or,
                             (3 / 1)²  =  ( \sqrt{Mx/32} )²

                             9 / 1  =  Mx / 32

                             Mx  =  288 g.mol⁻¹

dezoksy [38]

Answer:

Neon

Explanation:

1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s¹ or [Ne]  3s¹

The outer most shell is the 3s¹.

For this atom to achieve stability, if it loses the electron in the 3s shell, it would resemble an inert element with a complete octet configuration. Therefore, the atom would be like:

                   1s² 2s² 2p⁶ which is the configuration of Ne

How many grams of water are needed to dissolve 27.8 g of ammonium nitrate NH4NO3 in order to prepare a 0.452 m solution?
Vanyuwa [196]

Answer: 770 g water are needed to dissolve 27.8 g of ammonium nitrate NH_4NO_3 in order to prepare a 0.452 m solution

Explanation:

Molality : It is defined as the number of moles of solute present per kg of solvent

Formula used :

Molality=\frac{n\times 1000}{W_s}

where,

n= moles of solute

Moles of NH_4NO_3=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}=\frac{27.8g}{80.0g/mol}=0.348moles  

W_s = weight of the solvent in g = ?

0.452=\frac{0.348\times 1000}{W_s}

W_s=770g

Thus 770 g water are needed to dissolve 27.8 g of ammonium nitrate NH_4NO_3 in order to prepare a 0.452 m solution

If a particular ore contains 55.4 % calcium phosphate, what minimum mass of the ore must be processed to obtain 1.00 kg of phosp
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]
 The ore contains 55.4% calcium phosphate (related to the mineral apatite) so the amount of Ca3(PO4)2 is 55.4%x=1000g so x=1000/0.554= 1.805kg. Now for the % of P in this amount of calcium phosphate, use all the masses of the elements in Ca3PO4= Ca=40.078 x 3= 120.23 and (PO4)2= (30.974+64)2=189.95  (NB oxygen is 16 mass x 4 =64) so the total mass is 310.2 and we have 61.95 of P (Pmass x 2) so 61.95/3102.= 0.19 or 19% P. So of the 1.805 x 0.19= 0.34kg of phosphorus.

How and why do ionic bonds form? Check all of the boxes that apply. Ionic bonds form between metal atoms and other metal atoms.
sammy [17]

2 Ionic bonds form between metal atoms and nonmetal atoms.

4 The less electronegative atoms transfers one or more electrons to the more electronegative atom.

5 The metal atom forms a cation and the nonmetal atom forms an anion.

7 The attraction between ions with an opposite charge forms an ionic bond.
