Answer:

15.38 g is the mass for M in the 329 g of sample

Explanation:

Mineral's formula: MS

Our sample weighs 44.9 g

Mass of M: 2.1 g

Our new sample weighs 329 g

We may solve this by a rule of three:

44.9 g of sample contain 2.1 g of M

329 g of sample will contain (329 . 2.1) / 44.9 = 15.38 g

Answer:

In a 329 grams mineral, we have 15.4 grams of metal M

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of the sample = 44.9 grams

The mineral contains: 2.1 grams of M

Step 2: Calculate mass % of M

mass % of M = (mass M / total mass sample) * 100 %

mass % of M = (2.1 grams / 44.9 grams) *100 %

mass % of M = 4.677 %

Step 3: Calculate the mass of M in a 329 grams

Mass % = (4.677 grams / 100 % ) * 329 grams

Mass % = 0.04677 * 329 grams

Mass % =  15.4 grams

In a 329 grams mineral, we have 15.4 grams of metal M

What volume (in milliliters) of oxygen gas is required to react with 4.03 g of Mg at STP?
BigorU [14]
Mg reaction with O₂ gas will produce MgO so the equation will be
2Mg+O₂⇒2MgO. (You have to find the equation in order two figure out the number of moles of O₂ that will react with 1 mole of MgO).

The first step is to find the number of moles of Mg in 4.03g of Mg.  You can do this by dividing 4.03g Mg by its molar mass (which is 24.3g/mol) to get 0.1658mol Mg.  Then you have to find the number of moles of O₂ that will react with 0.1658mol Mg.  To do this you need to use the fact that 1mol O₂ will react with 2mol Mg (this reatio is from the chemical equation) so you have to multiply 0.1658mol Mg by (1mol O₂)/(2mol Mg) to get 0.0829mol O₂.  From here you would usually use PV=nRT and solve for V However, the question tells us that we are at STP, that means you can use the fact that 22.4L of gas is 1 mol of gas at STP.  Using that information we can find the volume of O₂ gas by mulitlying 0.0829mol O₂ by 22.4L/mol to get 1.857L which equals 1857mL.
therefore, 1857mL of O₂ gas will react with 4.03g of Mg.

I hope this helps. Let me know in the comments if anything is unclear.

Which of these compounds has the correct chemical formula? 1. ba3po4 2. (nh4)2so4 3. mg2oh 4. lif2 5. caoh?
sergiy2304 [10]
Ba3PO4 is not neutral, it is positive.  (NH4)2SO4 is neutral, the charges cancel.
Mg2OH is not neutral, it is positive.  LiF2 is not neutral, it is negative.  CaOH is not neutral, it is positive.  The answer is (NH4)2SO4, correct ions will have a neutral charge.
