Magnesium and oxygen balanced

11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

2Mg+ O₂= 2MgO
The charge of Mg is+2 and the charge of Oxygen is -2. 2 oxygen atoms will have a charge of -4 so the Mg atoms have to equal +4. A coefficient of 2 for the Mg atoms will balance it out

A 0.4647-g sample of a compound known to contain only carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen was burned in oxygen to yield 0.01962 mol of

Stella [2.4K]

Answer:

See explanation.

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, we can show how the empirical formula is found by following the shown below procedure:

1. Compute the moles of carbon in carbon dioxide as the only source of carbon at the products:

$n_C=0.01962molCO_2*\frac{1molC}{1molCO_2} =0.01962molC$

2. Compute the moles of hydrogen in water as the only source of hydrogen at the products:

$n_H=0.01961molH_2O*\frac{2molH}{1molH_2O}=0.03922molH$

3. Compute the mass of oxygen by subtracting the mass of both carbon and hydrogen from the 0.4647-g sample:

$m_O=0.4647g-0.01962molC*\frac{12gC}{1molC}-0.03922molH*\frac{1gH}{1molH} =0.1900gO$

4. Compute the moles of oxygen by using its molar mass:

$n_O=0.1900gO*\frac{1molO}{16gO}=0.01188molO$

5. Divide the moles of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen by the moles of oxygen (smallest one) to find the subscripts in the empirical formula:

$C=\frac{0.01962}{0.01188}=1.65\\ \\H=\frac{0.03922}{0.01188} =3.3\\\\O=\frac{0.01188}{0.01188} =1$

6. Search for the closest whole number (in this case multiply by 2):

$C_3H_6O_2$

Moreover, the empirical formula suggests this compound could be carboxylic acid since it has two oxygen atoms, nevertheless, this is not true since the molar mass is 222.27 g/mol, therefore, we should compute the molar mass of the empirical formula, that is:

$M=12*3+1*6+16*2=74g/mol$

Which is about three times in the molecular formula, for that reason, the actual formula is:

$C_9H_{18}O_6$

It suggest that the compound has a highly oxidizing character due to the presence of oxygen, therefore, we cannot predict the distribution of the functional groups as it could contain, carboxyl, carbonyl, hydroxyl or even peroxi.

Best regards.

How many liters of oxygen gas, at standard temperature and pressure, will react with 35.4 grams of calcium metal? Show all of th

Margaret [11]

Answer: 19.8 l

Explanation:

1) Chemical equation:

2Ca + O₂ → 2CaO

2) Mole ratios: 2 mol Ca : 1 mol O₂ : 2 mol CaO

3) Convert 35.4 g of Ca to moles:

n = mass in grams / molar mass = 35.4 g / 40.1 g/mol = 0.883 mol

4) Volume proportion: 1 mol of gas at STP = 22.4 l

1 mol at STP 0.883 mol at STP

--------------------- = ------------------------------

22.4 l x

⇒ x = 0.883 mol × 22.4 l / 1 mol = 19.8 l ← answer

Is a penny a homogeneous or heterogeneous mixture?

FrozenT [24]

A penny is made of a silver core with a copper coating. Although you can not see the sliver underneath, it is therefore, a homogenous mixture. It is an evenly distributed mixture of copper Cu, and Silver Ag.
