Chemistry

boyakko [2]2 years ago

Answer:

see explanation below

Explanation:

In this case, we have the following reaction:

Mg + 1/2O₂ -------> MgO

Now, according to this reaction we want to know the percent composition of MgO. The problem is not providing the mass of the initial reactants and the product, so we can use the atomic weights of the components, to do this

The molecular weight of Mg is 24.305 g/mol, and O is 15.999 g/mol, so, let's calculate the molar mass of MgO:

MM MgO = 24.305 + 15.999 = 40.304 g/mol

Now with this weight, let's see the percent composition of this compound:

%Mg = 24.305 / 40.304 * 100 = 60.304 %

%O = 15.999 / 40.304 * 100 = 39.696 %

And this would be the percent composition of MgO

How much ice (in grams) would have to melt to lower the temperature of 354 ml of water from 26 ?c to 6 ?c? (assume the density o
Anit [1.1K]
Heat gained in a system can be calculated by multiplying the given mass to the specific heat capacity of the substance and the temperature difference. It is expressed as follows:<span>

Heat = mC(T2-T1) 

When two objects are in contact, it should be that the heat lost is equal to what is gained by the other. From this, we can calculate things. We do as follows:

<span>Heat gained = Heat lost</span>
mC(T2-T1) = - mC(T2-T1) 

C(liquid water) = 4.18 J/gC
C(ice) = 2.11 J/gC

</span><span>(354 mL)(1.0 g/mL)(4.18 J/gC)(26 C - 6 C) = m(2.11 J/gC)(6 - 0C) </span><span>
m = 2337.63 g of ice

Give the nuclear symbol for the isotope of beryllium for which a=10? enter the nuclear symbol for the isotope (e.g., 42he).
galben [10]
An isotope is defined as an element that has the same number of protons as the common element but different number of neutrons. In this case, a beryllium atom has a molar weight of 10 amu. Thus, there are 4 protons and 6 neutrons. The nuclear symbol of Be-10 is 4 Be10
