6.6 grams of oxygen reacted with magnesium to give magnesium oxide.

<h3>What is law of conservation of mass?</h3>

When a chemical reaction takes place the total mass of reactants is always equal to the mass of products.As in a chemical reaction the atoms are neither created nor destroyed rather they rearrange themselves.

The reaction between magnesium and oxygen is as follows,

2 Mg+O₂ $\rightarrow$ 2 MgO

According to the question, 10 g of magnesium is utilized to produce 16.6 g of magnesium oxide.In order to find mass of oxygen utilized ,

mass of oxygen=mass of magnesium oxide-mass of magnesium

substituting the given data,

mass of oxygen=16.6-10=6.6 g

Thus, 6.6 grams oxygen reacted to produce 16.6 grams of magnesium oxide.

Place the following elements in order of increasing electronegativity.K Cs PA. K < P < CsB. P < Cs < KC. Cs < K &

skad [1K]

Answer:

C. Cs < K < P

Explanation:

Electronegativity is the basically the tendency of an atom to attract electrons. The pauling scale is used to quantify electronegativity, the most electronegative element; fluorine has a value of 4.0 and francium, the least electronegative element has a value of 0.7

The electronegative values of the following elements are given as;

K = 0.82

Cs =0.79

P = 2.19

Arranging in order of increasing electronegativity, we have;

Cs < K < P. The correct option is;

C. Cs < K < P

How many moles of helium are 8.84×10^24 atoms of He?

viva [34]

Answer:

14.77 mol.

Explanation:

It is known that every 1.0 mole of compound or element contains Avogadro's number (6.022 x 10²³) of molecules or atoms.

<u><em>Using cross multiplication:</em></u>

1.0 mole of He contains → 6.022 x 10²³ atoms.

??? mole of He contains → 8.84 x 10²⁴ atoms.

<em>∴ The no. of moles of He contains (8.84 x 10²⁴ atoms) </em>= (1.0 mol)(8.84 x 10²⁴ atoms)/(6.022 x 10²³ atoms) =<em> 14.77 mol.</em>
