A compound consists of 72.2% magnesium and 27.8% nitrogen by mass. what is the empirical formula

1 answer:

8 0

MgThe empirical formula is calculated as follows
fin the moles of each element
moles = % composition/ molar mass

magnesium(Mg) = 72.2/24 = 3moles
Nitrogen(N) = 27.8/14 = 1.986 moles

find the moles ration by dividing each mole by the smallest mole ( 1.986 moles)

that is

magnesium)Mg) = 3/1.986 = 1.5
Nitrogen (N)= 1.986/1.986 =1
multiply both the mole ratio to remove the decimal

magnesium (Mg) = 1.5 x2 = 3
nitrogen (N)= 1 x2 =2

therefore the empirical formula = Mg3N2

15. Ammonium nitrate, NH4NO3, and aluminum powder react explosively producing nitrogen gas, water vapor and aluminum oxide. Writ

Lunna [17]

Answer:

$2Al_(_S_) ~+~3NH_4NO_3_(_a_q_) ->3N_2_(_g_) ~+~6H_2O_(_g_) ~+~Al_2O_3_(_S_)$

$Entalpy=-2861.9~KJ$

Explanation:

In this case, we have to start with the reagents:

$Al~+~NH_4NO_3$

The compounds given by the problem are:

-) Nitrogen gas = $N_2$

-) Water vapor = $H_2O$

-) Aluminum oxide = $Al_2O_3$

Now, we can put the products in the reaction:

$Al_(_S_) ~+~NH_4NO_3_(_aq_) ->N_2_(_g_) ~+~H_2O_(_g_) ~+~Al_2O_3_(_S_)$

When we balance the reaction we will obtain:

$2Al_(_S_) ~+~3NH_4NO_3_(_a_q_) ->3N_2_(_g_) ~+~6H_2O_(_g_) ~+~Al_2O_3_(_S_)$

Now, for the enthalpy change, we have to find the standard enthalpy values:

$Al_(_S_)=0~KJ/mol$

$NH_4NO_3_(_a_q_)=-132.0~KJ/mol$

$N_2_(_g_)=0~KJ/mol$

$H_2O_(_g_)=~-~241.8~KJ/mol$

$Al_2O_3_(_S_)=~-~1675.7~KJ/mol$

With this in mind, if we multiply the number of moles (in the balanced reaction) by the standard enthalpy value, we can calculate the energy of the reagents:

$(0*2)~+~(-132*3)=~-396~KJ$

And the products:

$(0*3)~+~(-241.8*6)~+~(-1675.7*1)=-3125.9~KJ$

Finally, for the total enthalpy we have to subtract products by reagents :

$(-3125.9~KJ)-(-396~KJ)=-2729.9~KJ$

I hope it helps!

Para formar bronce, se mezclan 150g de cobre a 1100°C y 35g de estaño a 560°C. Determine la temperatura final del sistema.

jek_recluse [69]

Answer:

La temperatura final del sistema es 1029,346 °C.

Explanation:

Asumamos que el sistema conformado por el cobre y el estaño no tiene interacciones con sus alrededores. Por la Primera Ley de la Termodinámica, el cobre cede calor al estaño con tal de alcanzar el equilibrio térmico. El cobre se encuentra inicialmente en su punto de fusión, mientras que el estaño está por encima de ese punto, de modo que la transferencia de calor es esencialmente sensible:

$m_{Cu}\cdot c_{Cu}\cdot (T-T_{Cu}) = m_{Sn}\cdot c_{Sn}\cdot (T_{Sn}-T)$

$(m_{Cu}\cdot c_{Cu} + m_{Sn}\cdot c_{Sn})\cdot T = m_{Sn}\cdot c_{Sn}\cdot T_{Sn} + m_{Cu}\cdot c_{Cu}\cdot T_{Cu}$

$T = \frac{m_{Sn}\cdot c_{Sn}\cdot T_{Sn}+m_{Cu}\cdot c_{Cu}\cdot T_{Cu}}{m_{Cu}\cdot c_{Cu}+m_{Sn}\cdot c_{Sn}}$ (1)

Donde:

$m_{Sn}$ - Masa del estaño, en gramos.

$m_{Cu}$ - Masa del cobre, en gramos.

$c_{Sn}$ - Calor específico del estaño, en calorías por gramo-grados Celsius.

$c_{Cu}$ - Calor específico del cobre, en calorías por gramo-grados Celsius.

$T_{Sn}$ - Temperatura inicial del estaño, en grados Celsius.

$T_{Cu}$ - Temperatura inicial del cobre, en grados Celsius.

Si sabemos que $m_{Cu} = 150\,g$ , $m_{Sn} = 35\,g$ , $c_{Cu} = 0,093\,\frac{cal}{g\cdot ^{\circ}C}$ , $c_{Sn} = 0,060\,\frac{cal}{g\cdot ^{\circ}C}$ , $T_{Sn} = 560\,^{\circ}C$ y $T_{Cu} = 1100\,^{\circ}C$ , entonces la temperatura final del sistema es:

$T = \frac{(35\,g)\cdot \left(0,060\,\frac{cal}{g\cdot ^{\circ}C} \right)\cdot (560\,^{\circ}C)+(150\,g)\cdot \left(0,093\,\frac{cal}{g\cdot ^{\circ}C} \right)\cdot (1100\,^{\circ}C)}{(35\,g)\cdot \left(0,060\,\frac{cal}{g\cdot ^{\circ}C} \right)+(150\,g)\cdot \left(0,093\,\frac{cal}{g\cdot ^{\circ}C} \right)}$

$T = 1029,346\,^{\circ}C$

La temperatura final del sistema es 1029,346 °C.

pantera1 [17]

Answer:

The correct answer would be - lose their native habitats are forced to migrate into new areas in search of shelter and food.

Explanation:

The removal of trees or deforestation to build a housing or city planning or development impact the birds and other animals of that area. Cutting most of the trees from the area will result in a decrease in available food, shelter, and breeding habitat.

It causes complete removal of bird species and forced them to migrate to a new place in search of places that will provide a source of shelter and food for birds.
