Answer:

Mass ratio of magnesium =  2 : 1

Explanation:

Let us write down the masses of element involve to form the compounds .

Compound A → 7.88 g of mg and 15.68 g of 02

Compound B → 2.12 g of mg and 6.91 g of 02

since we want to get the mass ratio of magnesium, we divide the mass of mg with the other element present (oxygen) . we want to make both compound in equal proportions.

Compound A →  7.88 / 15.68  = 0.5025510204 g of Mg /1 g of Oxygen

Compound B  →  2.12 / 6.91  = 0.30680173661  g of Mg/ 1 g of Oxygen

Mass ratio of magnesium = compound A(Mg)/compound B(Mg)

Mass ratio of magnesium = 0.5025510204/0.30680173661  

Mass ratio of magnesium = 1.63803186368 /1

Mass ratio of magnesium =  2 : 1

A gas occupies a volume of 67.54 liters at 158°C and 4.87 atm pressure. Calculate the number of moles of this gas.
Katarina [22]

Answer:

The number of moles of the gas is 9.295 moles or 9.30 moles

Explanation:

We use PV = nRT

Where P = 4.87 atm;

V = 67.54 L

R= 0.0821Latm/molK

T = 158 C = 158 +273 K = 431 K

the number of moles can be obtained by substituting the values in the respective columns and solve for n

n = PV / RT

n = 4.87 * 67.54 / 0.0821 * 431

n = 328.9198 / 35.3851

n = 9.295moles

The number of moles is approximately 9.30moles.

Why the bond in water molecule os polar covalent bond, while than in chlorine molecule is pure covalent bond? Give reason? ​
erastovalidia [21]

Explanation:

The unequal sharing of electrons between the atoms and the unsymmetrical shape of the molecule means that a water molecule has two poles - a positive charge on the hydrogen pole (side) and a negative charge on the oxygen pole (side). We say that the water molecule is electrically polar.
