The answer is A
Hide the Oxygen for a minute
Mass of elements:
Be:9.012
Mg:24.305
Ca:40.078
Sr:87.62
Out of all these choices, Be is the lightest

Answer: BeO

Explanation:

percent by mass of oxygen=\frac{\text {mass of oxygen}}{\text {Total mass of substance}}\times 100\%

percent by mass of oxygen in BeO=\frac{16g}{25.01g/mol}\times 100=63.97\%

percent by mass of oxygen in MgO=\frac{16g}{40.30g/mol}\times 100=39.70\%

percent by mass of oxygen in CaO=\frac{16g}{56.08g/mol}\times 100=28.53\%

percent by mass of oxygen in SrO=\frac{16g}{103.62g/mol}\times 100=15.44\%

A pure substance melts at 88 degrees celsius and does not conduct electricity in either the solid state or the liquid state. it
scoundrel [369]

Answer:

The answer to your question is: Covalent compounds.

Explanation:

In chemistry there are two kinds of compounds:

Ionic compounds are composed by a metal and a nonmetal, and some are

                              good conductors of electricity in solid state or when they

                              dissolve in water.

Covalent compounds are composed by to nonmetals, their melting point is

                                      lower compare to ionic compounds and are not

                                      conductors of electricity in solid state or when are

                                      dissolve in water.

Lostsunrise [7]

Answer: a) 0.070 moles of oxygen were produced.

b) New pressure due to the oxygen gas is 2.4 atm

Explanation:

According to ideal gas equation:

PV=nRT

P = pressure of gas = 2.7 atm

V = Volume of gas = 700 ml = 0.7 L

n = number of moles = ?

R = gas constant =0.0821Latm/Kmol

T =temperature = 329 K

n=\frac{PV}{RT}

n=\frac{2.7atm\times 0.7L}{0.0821 L atm/K mol\times 329K}=0.070moles

Thus 0.070 moles of oxygen were produced.

When the 700 mL flask cools to a temperature of 293K.

PV=nRT

P=\frac{nRT}{V}

P=\frac{0.070\times 0.0821\times 293}{0.7}

P=2.4atm

The new pressure due to the oxygen gas is 2.4 atm
