Give a theoretical reason why lithium and oxygen combine in the ratio 2:1

1 answer:

4 0

Lithium is in the first column of the periodic table and thus can only form one bond with another atom (its ion is Li+)

Oxygen can form two bonds (as in the dioxygen O2).

Hence if you conbine Li and O it has to be Li2O.

What led Marie Curie to draw the following conclusions? (b) A highly radioactive element, aside from uranium, occurs in pitchble

AVprozaik [17]

Making repeated separations of the various substances in the pitchblende, Marie and Pierre used the Curie electrometer to identify the most radioactive fractions. They thus discovered that two fractions, one containing mostly bismuth and the other containing mostly barium, were strongly radioactive.

<h3>What was surprising about pitchblende?</h3>

Since it was no longer appropriate to call them “uranic rays,” Marie proposed a new name: “radioactivity.”

Even more surprising, Marie next found that a uranium ore called pitchblende contained two powerfully radioactive new elements: polonium, which she named for her native Poland, and radium.

<h3>Why is radium more radioactive than uranium?</h3>

It is 2.7 million times more radioactive than the same molar amount of natural uranium (mostly uranium-238), due to its proportionally shorter half-life.

Molarity to percent by mass. Convert 1.672 mol/L MgCl2(aq) solution to percent by mass of MgCl2 in the solution. The solution de

nignag [31]

Answer:

$\%m/m=14\%$

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, since the molarity of magnesium chloride (molar mass = 95.211 g/mol) is 1.672 mol/L and we know the density of the solution, we can first compute the concentration in g/L as shown below:

$[MgCl_2]=1.672\frac{molMgCl_2}{L}*\frac{95.211gMgCl_2}{1molMgCl_2}=159.2\frac{gMgCl_2}{L}$

Next, since the density of the solution is 1.137 g/mL, we can compute the concentration in g/g as shown below:

$[MgCl_2]=159.2\frac{gMgCl_2}{L}*\frac{1L}{1000mL}*\frac{1mL}{1.137g}=0.14$

Which is also the by-mass fraction and in percent it turns out:

$\%m/m=0.14*100\%\\\\\%m/m=14\%$

Best regards!
