Answer:

The sun radiates energy in all directions.

Explanation:

Most of it dissipates into space, but the tiny fraction of the sun's energy that reaches Earth is enough to heat the planet and drive the global weather system by warming the atmosphere and oceans

A solution contains an unknown amount of dissolved magnesium. Addition of

Scrat [10]

Taking into account the reaction stoichiometry, 2.13 grams of magnesium was dissolved in the solution.

<h3>Reaction stoichiometry</h3>

In first place, the balanced reaction is:

Mg²⁺(aq) + Na₂CO₃(aq) → MgCO₃(s) + 2 Na⁺(aq)

By reaction stoichiometry (that is, the relationship between the amount of reagents and products in a chemical reaction), the following amounts of moles of each compound participate in the reaction:

Mg²⁺: 1 mole
Na₂CO₃: 1 mole
MgCO₃: 1 mole
Na⁺: 2 moles

The molar mass of the compounds is:

Mg²⁺: 24.3 g/mole
Na₂CO₃: 106 g/mole
MgCO₃: 84.3 g/mole
Na⁺: 23 g/mole

Then, by reaction stoichiometry, the following mass quantities of each compound participate in the reaction:

Mg²⁺: 1 mole ×24.3 g/mole= 24.3 grams
Na₂CO₃: 1 mole ×106 g/mole= 106 grams
MgCO₃: 1 mole ×84.3 g/mole=84.3 grams
Na⁺: 2 moles ×23 g/mole= 46 grams

<h3>Mass of magnesium dissolved</h3>

The following rule of three can be applied: If by reaction stoichiometry 1 mole of Na₂CO₃ react with 24.3 grams of magnesium, 0.0877 moles of Na₂CO₃ react with how much mass of magnesium?

$mass of magnesium=\frac{0.0877 moles of Na_{2}C O_{3}x24.3 grams of magnesium }{1 mole of Na_{2}C O_{3}}$

<u><em>mass of magnesium= 2.13 grams</em></u>

Finally, 2.13 grams of magnesium was dissolved in the solution.

Answer these questions based on 234. 04360 as the atomic mass of thorium-234. The masses for the subatomic particles are given.

nikdorinn [45]

The mass defect for the isotope thorium-234 if given mass is 234.04360 amu is 1.85864 amu.

<h3>How do we calculate atomic mass?</h3>

Atomic mass (A) of any atom will be calculated as:

A = mass of protons + mass of neutrons

In the Thorium-234:

Number of protons = 90

Number of neutrons = 144

Mass of one proton = 1.00728 amu

Mass of one neutron = 1.00866 amu

Mass of thorium-234 = 90(1.00728) + 144(1.00866)

Mass of thorium-234 = 90.6552 + 145.24704 = 235.90224 amu

Given mass of thorium-234 = 234.04360 amu

Mass defect = 235.90224 - 234.04360 = 1.85864 amu

Hence required value is 1.85864 amu.

Which bond has the greatest ionic character? A) H-Cl B) H-F c) H-O d) H-N

Len [333]

I really hope that this helps. H-F because the difference in electronegativity is the greatest, about 1.9 on the Pauling scale. The term means which bond has the greatest polarity and is thus most similar to an ionic bond, which involves the transfer of an electron (in opposition to covalent bonds, which share electrons). It is H-F because out of all the atoms here bonded with H, ie hydrogen, F is the most electronegative which means it can pull the bonded electrons to itself more than can Cl, O, and N. <span>That means a stronger polarization of the electron cloud forming the bond with hydrogen and therefore a stronger ionic character.</span>

Type the correct answer in the box. Express your answer to two significant figures. An industrial vat contains 650 grams of soli

SashulF [63]

88.98 %

The Balance Chemical Equation is as follow,

2 HCl + Pb(NO₃)₂ → 2 HNO₃ + PbCl₂

According to equation,

331.2 g (1 mole) Pb(NO₃)₂ produces = 278.1 g (1 mole) PbCl₂

So,

870 g of Pb(NO₃)₂ will produce = X g of PbCl₂

Solving for X,

X = (870 g × 278.1 g) ÷ 331.2 g

X = 730.5 g of PbCl₂

Therefore,

Theoretical Yield = 730.5 g

Also as given,

Actual Yield = 650 g

So using following formula for percentage yield,

%age Yield = (Actual Yield / Theoretical Yield) × 100

Putting values,

%age Yield = (650 g / 730.5 g) × 100

%age Yield = 88.98 %
