Explanation:

Defining law of definite proportions, it states that when two elements form more than one compound, the ratios of the masses of the second element which combine with a fixed mass of the first element will always be ratios of small whole numbers.

A. One of the oxides (Oxide 1) contains 63.2% of Mn.

Mass of the oxide = 100g

Mass of Mn = 63.2 g

Mass of O = 100 - 63.2

= 36.8 g

Ratio of Mn to O = 63.2/36.8

= 1.72

Another oxide (Oxide 2) contains 77.5% Mn.

Mass of oxide = 100 g

Mass of Mn = 77.5 g

Mass of O = 100 - 77.5

= 22.5 g

Ratio of Mn to O = 77.5/22.5

= 3.44

Therefore, the ratio of the masses of Mn and O in Oxide 1 and Oxide 2 is in the ratio 1.72 : 3.44, which is also 1 : 2. So the law of multiple proportions is obeyed.

B.

Oxide 1

Mass of Mn per 1 g of O = mass of Mn/mass of O

= 77.5/22.5

= 3.44 g/g of Oxygen.

Oxide 2

Mass of Mn per 1 g of O = mass of Mn/mass of O

= 77.5/22.5

= 3.44 g/g of Oxygen.

What is the mass of 3.0 x 10^23 atoms of neon
anzhelika [568]


3.0e23 atoms Ne

"E" means 10^

Then we multiply it by a mole of Ne. By the definetion of a mole, it is always 6.022e23 atoms of an element.

So now, we do this:

3.0e23 atoms Ne x (1 mol Ne / 6.022e23 atoms Ne)

After that, we use molar mass. A mole of Neon is equal, in terms of grams, to its avg. atomic mass. This goes true for any element.

It ends up like this:

3.0e23 atoms Ne x (1 mol Ne / 6.022e23 atoms Ne) x (20.1797 g Ne / 1 mol Ne)

Now cancel out the "atoms Ne" and "1 mol Ne"

You end up with a grand total of...
*plugs everything into a calculator*

10.05298... g Ne.

We need to round to 2 sig. figs. (3.0) so now it's....

10 g Ne.

Note that this method can only be used for converting atoms of an element to mass in grams.

How is mercury obtained and separated from other nearby substances?​
VLD [36.1K]

Answer:

Most mercury forms in a sulfide ore called cinnabar, but mercury is also frequently found in small amounts in other ores. A common method for separating mercury from cinnabar is to crush the ore and then heat it in a furnace in order to vaporize the mercury. This vapor is then condensed into liquid mercury form.
