Answer:

False

Explanation:

Atoms only achieve complete outer electron shells if they contain an outer shell with 7 electrons before gaining another electron or an outer shell with 1 electron before losing an electron. This is assuming that the octet-rule can be applied to said atom. In addition, the number of valence electrons varies from atom to atom which is why not ALL atoms achieve complete outer electron shells after gaining or losing just ONE electron.

Niven wants to calculate the mass of mgo that is produced by burning of 28.0g of mg. What is the first step in nivens calculatio

babymother [125]

Answer: -

The experiment Niven is doing is burning of Mg.

The first step would be finding the molar mass of MgO

Atomic mass of Mg = 24 g

Atomic mass of Oxygen = 16 g

Molar mass of MgO = 24 x 1 + 16 x 1 = 40 g

The balanced chemical equation for this reaction is

2 Mg + O2 -- > 2MgO

From the balanced equation we see that

2 Mg gives 2 MgO

2 x24 g of Mg O gives 2 x 40 g of MgO.

28g of MgO gives $\frac{2 x 40 gram x 28 gram }{2 x 24 gram}$

= 46.66 g of MgO.

Suppose there are two known compounds containing the generic elements X and Y. You have a 1.00-g sample of each compound. One sa

Lapatulllka [165]

I think the correct answers are X2Y and X3Y, X2Y5 and X3Y5, and X4Y2 and X3Y, for the following reason:

If you look at the combining masses of X and Y in each of the two compounds,

The first compound contains 0.25g of X combined with 0.75g of Y
so the ratio (by mass) of X to Y = 1 : 3

The second compound contains 0.33 g of X combined with 0.67 g of Y
so the ratio (by mass) of X to Y = 1 : 2

Now, you suppose to prepare each of these two compounds, starting with the same fixed mass of element Y ( I will choose 12g of Y for an easy calculation!)

The first compound will then contain 4g of X and 12g of Y
The second compound will then contain 6g of X and 12g of Y

The ratio which combined the masses of X and the fixed mass (12g) of Y
= 4 : 6
or 2 : 3 

So, the ratio of MOLES of X which combined with the fixed amount of Y in the two compounds is also = 2 : 3

The two compounds given with the plausible formula must therefore contain the same ratio.

Problem PageQuestion Sulfuric acid is essential to dozens of important industries from steelmaking to plastics and pharmaceutica

Feliz [49]

The question is incomplete, here is the complete question:

Sulfuric acid is essential to dozens of important industries from steel making to plastics and pharmaceuticals. More sulfuric acid is made than any other industrial chemical, and world production exceeds 2.0×10¹¹ kg per year.

The first step in the synthesis of sulfuric acid is usually burning solid sulfur to make sulfur dioxide gas. Suppose an engineer studying this reaction introduces 1.8 kg of solid sulfur and 10.0 atm of oxygen gas at 650°C into an evacuated 50.0 L tank. The engineer believes Kp = 0.099 for the reaction at this temperature.

Calculate the mass of solid sulfur he expects to be consumed when the reaction reaches equilibrium. Round your answer to 2 significant digits.

Answer: The mass of solid sulfur that will be consumed is 19. grams

Explanation:

The chemical equation for the formation of sulfur dioxide gas follows:

$S(s)+O_2\rightarrow SO_2(g)$
