Answer:D
Explanation:
The Terrestrial Planets. From top: Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars. The planets Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars, are called terrestrial because they have a compact, rocky surface like Earth's terra firma. The terrestrial planets are the four innermost planets in the solar system.
Answer:
Explanation:
Hello there!
In this case, for the given reactants side, we infer this is a double replacement reaction because all the cations and anions are switched around as a result of the chemical change, we infer that the products side include aluminum with nitrate and magnesium with sulfate as shown below:
However, we need to balance since unequal number of atoms are present at both sides, thus, we do that as shown below:
Thus, we make 6 Al atoms, 3 S atoms, 3 Mg atoms and 30 O atoms on each side in agreement with the law of conservation of mass.
Regards!
Answer:
C
Explanation:
looking at a periodic table X is fluorine and Y is potassium
Fluorine is in group 7 and forms a 1- charge (which gains electrons) and potassium is in group 1 and forms a 1+ charge (which loses electrons)
Fluorine (X) has an electronic structure of 2,7 and needs to gain an electron from Potassium (Y) to have a full outer shell and potassium has an electronic structure of 2,8,8,1 so needs to lose an electron to have a full outer shell as well. This means that the electron that potassium (Y) has lost is given away to fluorine (X), so both elements become stable.
This is known as ionic bonding where metals (like potassium) lose electrons and non-metals (like fluorine) gain electrons to become more stable, forming ions
Any further clarification let me know
Explanation:
When an atom has an equal number of electrons and protons, it has an equal number of negative electric charges (the electrons) and positive electric charges (the protons). The total electric charge of the atom is therefore zero and the atom is said to be neutral. ... Chemically, we say that the atoms have formed bonds.
Answer:
Percentage yield = 85.2%
Explanation:
Given data:
Mass of Mg = 21.3 g
Actual yield of MgO = 30.2 g
Percentage yield = ?
Solution:
Chemical equation:
2Mg + O₂ → 2MgO
Number of moles of Mg = mass/molar mass
Number of moles of Mg = 21.3 g / 24.3 g/mol
Number of moles of Mg = 0.88 mol
Now we will compare the moles of MgO with Mg.
Mg : MgO
2 : 2
0.88 : 0.88
Mass of MgO:
Mass of MgO= moles × molar mass
Mass of MgO= 0.88 mol × 40.3g/mol
Mass of MgO = 35.46 g
Actual yield of MgO = 30.2 g
Percentage yield:
Percentage yield = Actual yield/theoretical yield × 100
Percentage yield = 30.2 g/ 35.46 g × 100
Percentage yield = 85.2%
