Answer:

=14.8 grams

Explanation:

The remaining amount is normally calculated using the formula:

Remaining mass= 1/2ⁿ × Original mass where n is the number of half-lives.

Therefore, original mass= Remaining mass × 2ⁿ

Remaining mass= 2.2 grams

Number of half lives= 2.75 half lives

Original mass= 2.2g × 2²·⁷⁵

=14.8 grams

1. Write the balanced chemical equation for the synthesis of magnesium phosphide from its elements, including the word “energy”
Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

3Mg(s) +2P(s) -------> Mg3P2(s) + energy

Keq= [Mg3P2]/[Mg]^3 [P]^2

Explanation:

The equation for the formation of magnesium phosphide from its elements is;

3Mg(s) +2P(s) -------> Mg3P2(s) + energy

Hence we can see that three moles of magnesium atoms combines with two moles of phosphorus atoms to yield one mole of magnesium phosphide. The equation written above is the balanced chemical reaction equation for the formation of the magnesium phosphide.

The equilibrium expression for the reaction K(eq) will be given by;

Keq= [Mg3P2]/[Mg]^3 [P]^2
