Answer:

The answer is

The percentage by mass of Aluminium is 62.479% Al

The percentage by mass of Magnesium is 37.52% Mg

Explanation:

The solution to this can be found by listing out the known variables

mass of alloy = 9.87 grams

Mass of hydrogen gas produced = 0.998 grams

Molar mass of Al  = 26.98 g/mol

Molar mass of Mg = 24.3 g/mol

Molar mass of H₂(g) = 2.016 g/mol

The reaction between aluminium, magnesium and HCl aare as follows

2Al(s) + 6HCl(aq) → 2AlCl₃(aq) + 3H₂(g)

Mg(s) + 2HCl(aq) → MgCl₂(aq) + H₂(g)

From the quation for the reactions, it is seen that 2 moles of Al produces 3 moles of H₂(g) thus if the mass of aluminium in the alloy is say x we have

2×x/26.98 moles  of Aluminium produces  3×x/26.98 moles of H₂

or one mole produces 0.0555967x moles H₂ (g)

Also 1 mole of magnesium produces 1 mole of H₂(g)

hence since the mass of magnesium in the sample is (9.87 - x) grams, we have

(9.87-x)/24.3 moles of Mg produces (9.87 - x)/24.3 moles of H₂(g)

However the number of moles of H₂ actually produced = 0.998/2.016 = 0.495 moles H₂

Therefore 0.0555967x moles + (9.87 - x)/24.3 moles = 0.495 moles

or 0.0555967x + 0.4062 - 0.04115x = 0.495

0.0144x = 0.0888 , Terefore x = 6.16 grams

and the percentage by mass of Al in the alloy is

6.16/9.87 × 100 = 62.479% Al and

(100 - 62.47) or 37.52% Mg

The percentage by mass of Aluminium is 62.479% Al

The percentage by mass of Magnesium is 37.52% Mg

217 mL of neon gas at 551 celsius is brought to standard temperature (0 celsius) while the pressure is held constant. What is th
pantera1 [17]

Answer: The new volume is 72 ml

Explanation:

To calculate the final volume of the system, we use the equation given by Charles' Law. This law states that volume of the gas is directly proportional to the temperature of the gas at constant pressure.

Mathematically,

\frac{V_1}{T_1}=\frac{V_2}{T_2}

where,

V_1\text{ and }T_1 are the initial volume and temperature of the gas.

V_2\text{ and }T_2 are the final volume and temperature of the gas.

We are given:

V_1=217ml\\T_1=551^oC=(551+273)K=824K\\V_2=?\\T_2=0^0C=(0+273)K=273K

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\frac{217ml}{824K}=\frac{V_2}{273K}\\\\V_2=72ml

Thus the new volume is 72 ml

Which processes produce solute ions in a solution?
bonufazy [111]

The answer for this question is B) Ionization and Dissociation because Dissociation happens, charged particles form (ions), and since the ions didn't exist before the substance was dissolved, this process is called IONIZATION.   It is the process that involves the formation of ions, a conversion of a substance into ions.

A 1.2516 gram sample of a mixture of caco3 and na2so4 was analyzed by dissolving the sample and completely precipitating the ca
Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer:

0.009725 moles of H2C2O4

0.009725 moles CaCO3

Mass percentage =  77.77%

Explanation:

<u>Step 1</u>: The balanced equation

2MnO4- +5C2H2O4+6H+ →2Mn2+ +10CO2+8H2O

We can see that for 2 moles of Mno4- consumed , there is 5 moles of C2H2O4 needed and 6 moles H+ to produce 2 moles Mn2+, 10 moles of CO2 and 8 moles of H2O

<u>Step 2</u>: Calculate moles of MnO4-

Molarity = Moles/volume

Moles of Mno4- = Molarity of MnO4- * Volume of Mno4-

Moles of Mno4- = 0.1092M * 35.62 *10^-3 L

Moles of MnO4- = 0.00389 moles

<u>Step 3</u>: Calculate moles of H2C2O4

Since there is needed 5 moles of C2H2O4 to consume 2 moles of MnO4-

then for 0.00389 moles of MnO4-, there is 5/2 *0.00389 = <u>0.009725 moles of H2C2O4</u>

<u />

<u>Step 4:</u> Calculate moles of CaCO3

moles of H2C2O4 = moles CaCO3, therefore, 0.009725 moles H2C2O4 = 0.009725 moles CaCO3

<u>Step 5</u>: Calculate mass of CaCO3

Molar mass of CaCO3 = 100.09 g/mole

Mass of CaCO3 = moles of CaCO3 * Molar mass of CaCO3

Mass of CaCO3 = 0.009725 moles * 100.09 g/mole = 0.9734 g

<u>Step 6</u>: Calculate percentage by weight of CaCO3

Mass of CaCO3 = 0.9734g

Mass of original sample = 1.2516g

Mass percentage = 0.9734/1.2516 *100% = 77.77%
