Answer:

Balanced Equation for reaction between Magnesium and Oxygen:

2Mg + O₂ --> 2MgO

Molar Mass of MgO is the atomic masses listed on the periodic table for the two elements Magnesium and Oxygen. Magnesium's molar mass is 24g/mol, and Oxygen's molar mass is 16g/mol. So MgO's molar mass would be 24 + 16 = 40g/mol.

The equation to find moles is:

$moles \ = \ \frac{mass}{molar \ mass}$

So if we rearrange this equation to find for mass:

$mass = moles \ * \ molar \ mass$

So you have to multiply 0.300 moles by 40, which gives you 12g

Meaning the mass of Magnesium Oxide is 12g.

Answer:

The formula of the magnesium halide is MgF₂

Explanation:

All halides, X, produce a salt with Mg with the formula:

MgX₂

-There are 2 moles of the halide ion per mole of Mg-

With the mass of the MgSO₄ we can find moles of magnesium sulfate = Moles Mg.

With moles of Mg we can know the moles of the halide -1 mole Mg = 2 moles of Halide-

And we can find the mass of Mg in the 0.0776g sample. Subtracting we can find the mass of the halide and, with the mass and moles of the halide we can find its molecular weight and its identity:

Moles MgSO₄ -Molar mass: 120.366g/mol- = Moles Mg:

0.150g * (1mol / 120.366g) = 1.2462x10⁻³ moles Mg

Moles halide:

1.2462x10⁻³ moles Mg * 2 = 2.4924x10⁻³ moles Halide

Mass Mg -Molar mass: 24.305g/mol:

1.2462x10⁻³ moles Mg * (24.305g / mol) = 0.0303g Mg

Mass halide:

0.0776g - 0.0303g Mg = 0.0473g

Molecular weight of the halide:

0.0473g / 2.4924x10⁻³ moles =

18.98g/mol

This molecular weight is the molecular weight of Fluoride ion, F⁻,

A salt shaker filled with 17.0g sodium chloride contain how many moles?

kati45 [8]

The molecular formula for sodium chloride is NaCl. The sum of their atomic weights is (22.99 grams/mole + 35.45 grams/mole) = 58.44 grams/mole
take (17.0 grams)/(58.44 grams/mole), which equals 0.291 moles of NaCl.

how can you find the Frequency if you only have the wavelength? can you solve this example what is the Frequency of the waveleng

DiKsa [7]

Answer:

75000 Hz

Explanation:

f = V / λ (f= frequency, v=velocity of wave, lambda= wavelength)

alternatively, f = c / λ (f= frequency, c= speed of light- 3.00x10^8 m/s, lambda= wavelength)

f= [3.00x10^8 m/s]/[4000 m]

=75000 Hz

Be sure to answer all parts. For each of the following pairs of elements, state whether the binary compound they form is likely

andrew-mc [135]

Answer:

(a) Covalent bond. NF₃ (nitrogen trifluoride)

(b) Ionic bond. LiCl (lithium chloride)

Explanation:

(a) N and F

Nitrogen and fluorine are nonmetals, with high and similar electronegativities, so they form covalent bonds, in which they share pairs of electrons to complete the octet in their valence shell. N has 5 valence electrons so it will form 3 covalent bonds while each Cl has 7 valence electrons so it will form 1 covalent bond. As a result, the empirical formula is NF₃ (nitrogen trifluoride).

(b) Li and Cl

Lithium is a metal and Chlorine is a nonmetal. They have different electronegativities so they form an ionic bond, in which Cl gains 1 electron (7 valence e⁻) and Li loses 1 electron (1 valence e⁻). The empirical formula is LiCl (lithium chloride).
