Exposure to small amounts of lead over a long period of time is called chronic toxicity. Lead is particularly dangerous because once it gets into a person's system, it is distributed throughout the body just like helpful minerals such as iron, calcium, and zinc. And lead can cause harm wherever it lands in the body.

Lead exposure can adversely affect nearly every system in the body. And because it often occurs with no obvious symptoms, it frequently goes undiagnosed until it's too late. Children younger than age 6 are especially vulnerable to lead poisoning, which can severely affect mental and physical development.

Calculate the number of moles of magnesium, chlorine, and oxygen atoms in 5.90 moles of magnesium perchlorate, Mg(ClO4)2.

Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer:

5.90, 11.8, 47.2

Explanation:

Let’s remove the parentheses and write the formula as MgCl₂O₈.

We see that 1 mol Mg(ClO₄)₂ contains 1 mol Mg atoms, 2 mol Cl atoms, and 8 mol O atoms.

∴ $\text{Moles of Mg atoms} = \text{5.90 mol Mg(ClO}_{4})_{2} \times \frac{\text{1 mol Mg atoms}} {\text{1 mol Mg(ClO}_{4})_{2}} = \text{5.90 mol Mg atoms}$

$\text{Moles of Cl atoms} = \text{5.90 mol Mg(ClO}_{4})_{2} \times \frac{\text{2 mol Cl atoms}} {\text{1 mol Mg(ClO}_{4})_{2}} = \text{11.8 mol Cl atoms}$

$\text{Moles of O atoms} = \text{5.90 mol Mg(ClO}_{4})_{2} \times \frac{\text{8 mol O atoms}} {\text{1 mol Mg(ClO}_{4})_{2}} = \text{47.2 mol O atoms}$

∴ Mg, Cl, O = 5.90, 11.8, 47.2

The density of no2 in a 4.50 l tank at 760.0 torr and 25.0 Â°c is ________ g/l.

kap26 [50]

From ideal gas equation that is PV=nRT
n(number of moles)=PV/RT
P=760 torr
V=4.50L
R(gas constant =62.363667torr/l/mol
T=273 +273=298k
n is therefore (760torr x4.50L) /62.36367 torr/L/mol x298k =0.184moles
the molar mass of NO2 is 46 therefore density= 0.184 x 46=8.464g/l
