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 hypothetical element, E, has two stable isotopes. One isotope has a natural abundance of 68.037% and has an atomic mass of 46.
I am Lyosha [343]
  • If the abundance of the first isotope is 68.037%, then the abundance of the second isotope is 100%-68.037%.

Substituting into the atomic mass formula,

47.574=(46.449)(0.68037)+x(1-0.68037)\\\\ 47.574=31.60250613+0.31963x\\\\15.97149387=0.31963x\\\\x \approx \boxed{49.969 \text{ u}}

Why do a car's tires need more air in the winter than they do in the summer?
Hunter-Best [27]

Answer: Option (d) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

In winter's, temperature of atmosphere is low and due to this molecules of air present in the tire come closer to each other as they gain potential energy and loses kinetic energy.

Hence, air pressure decreases and there is need to fill more air in the tire.

Whereas is summer's, temperature is high so, molecules of air inside the tire gain kinetic energy and move rapidly from one place to another due to number of collisions. So, air pressure increases and there is no need to fill more air inside the tire.

Thus, we can conclude that the temperature is lower, so the air inside the tires contracts.

a block of wood has a density of 0.95 g/cm3. will it float or sink when placed on a liquid with a density of 0.88 g/mL? explain
vesna_86 [32]
Since 1mL=1cm^3 the wood would sink due to it being more dense. I.e. 0.95>0.88

Which of the following reactions involves a single compound producing two or more simpler substances?
castortr0y [4]

Answer:

Decomposition or cracking

Explanation:

In a decomposition or cracking reaction, a single compound produces two or more simpler substances.

It involves the formation of two or more products from a single reactant.

  A →  B + C

A is the single reactant

B and C are the products

The driving force for such a reaction is the is high positive heat of formation of the compound that is, extreme instability of the compound.
