1.386 g of Mg ribbon combusts to form 2.309 g of oxide product. The mass percent of oxygen in the oxide is 40.0 %.

Let's consider the reaction for the combustion of Mg.

Mg + 1/2 O₂ ⇒ MgO

1.386 g of Mg combusts to form 2.309 g of MgO. We want to determine the mass of oxygen in MgO. According to Lavoisier's law of conservation of mass, matter is not created nor destroyed over the course of a chemical reaction. Then, the mass of Mg in the reactants is equal to the mass of Mg in MgO. The mass of the magnesium oxide is the sum of the masses of magnesium and oxygen. The <u>mass of oxygen in the oxide</u> is:

mMgO = mMg + mO\\mO = mMgO - mMg = 2.309 g - 1.386 g = 0.923 g

We can calculate the mass percent of O in MgO using the following expression.

\% O = \frac{mO}{mMgO} \times 100\% = \frac{0.923 g}{2.309g} \times 100\%  = 40.0 \%

Write the chemical equation for the dissolution reaction of solid iron(iii) hydroxide in water. include the phases of all specie
Allushta [10]
When solid <span>iron (iii) hydroxide is dissolved into water, it ionizes or it dissociates into ions. These ions are the iron (iii) ions and the hydroxide ions. Iron(III) oxide is classified as a base when in aqueous solution since it produces hydroxide ions. It is a weak base so it does not completely dissociate into the solution. The dissociation equation would be:

Fe(OH)3 <-----> Fe3+ + OH-

To write a complete reaction, the reaction should be balanced wherein the number of atoms of each element in the reactant side and the product side should be equal. Also, the phases of the substances should be written. We do as follows:

</span>
Fe(OH)3 (s)  <-----> Fe3+ (aq) + 3OH- (aq)

Which of the following does NOT involve a change of state? a. pouring water into a vacuum-insulated bottle b. sublimation of dry
Elena L [17]
<h2> The correct option is (a).</h2>

Explanation:

  • There is no change of state in pouring water into a vacuum insulated bottle as the vacuum created inside the bottle only reduces the time limit for the transfer of heat by conduction and convection.
  • It helps the content filled in the bottle to be hot and cool for a longer time.

Hence, option (a) is correct.

Rest of the options (b), (c), (d), (e) is not correct because of the following reasons:

  • In the sublimation of dry ice, the dry ice (solid-state) is changed to the vapour form.
  • In the freezing of water, the liquid state is changed to solid-state.
  • During the vaporization of alcohol, the liquid state is changed to the vapour form.
  • During the melting of ice, the solid-state is changed to the liquid state.
