Why is water sometimes called the ""universal solvent?"".

Chemistry
1 answer:
Marysya12 [62]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Water is called the universal solvent because more substances dissolve in water than in any other chemical. This has to do with the polarity of each water molecule. The hydrogen side of each water (H2O) molecule carries a slight positive electric charge, while the oxygen side carries a slight negative electric charge.

What volume (in milliliters) of oxygen gas is required to react with 4.03 g of Mg at STP?
BigorU [14]
Mg reaction with O₂ gas will produce MgO so the equation will be
2Mg+O₂⇒2MgO. (You have to find the equation in order two figure out the number of moles of O₂ that will react with 1 mole of MgO).

The first step is to find the number of moles of Mg in 4.03g of Mg.  You can do this by dividing 4.03g Mg by its molar mass (which is 24.3g/mol) to get 0.1658mol Mg.  Then you have to find the number of moles of O₂ that will react with 0.1658mol Mg.  To do this you need to use the fact that 1mol O₂ will react with 2mol Mg (this reatio is from the chemical equation) so you have to multiply 0.1658mol Mg by (1mol O₂)/(2mol Mg) to get 0.0829mol O₂.  From here you would usually use PV=nRT and solve for V However, the question tells us that we are at STP, that means you can use the fact that 22.4L of gas is 1 mol of gas at STP.  Using that information we can find the volume of O₂ gas by mulitlying 0.0829mol O₂ by 22.4L/mol to get 1.857L which equals 1857mL.
therefore, 1857mL of O₂ gas will react with 4.03g of Mg.

I hope this helps. Let me know in the comments if anything is unclear.

How many grams of CO2 evolved from a 1.205g sample that is 36% MgCO3 and 44% K2CO3 by mass?
emmasim [6.3K]

Mass of CO₂ evolved : 0.108 g

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

1.205g sample, 36% MgCO3 and 44% K2CO3

Required

mass of CO2

Solution

  • mass of MgCO₃ :

0.36 x 1.205 g=0.4338 g

mass C in MgCO₃(MW MgCO₃=84 g/mol,  Ar C = 12/gmol)

= (12/84) x 0.4338

= 0.062 g

  • mass of K₂CO₃ :

0.44 x 1.205 g = 0.5302 g

Mass C in K₂CO₃(MW=138 g/mol) :

= (12/138) x 0.5302

= 0.046 g

Total mass Of CO₂ :

= 0.062 + 0.046

= 0.108 g
