Answer:

The required mass of oxygen to react with 4 moles of Mg is 64 grams

Explanation:

You know the reaction where magnesium is burned with oxygen to form magnesium oxide:

2Mg + O_{2} --> 2MgO

Oxygen is required to react completely (that is, sufficient oxygen must be present for the reaction to occur) with 4 moles of Mg. For that you observe the stoichiometry of the reaction, the amount of reagents needed. Stoichiometry in this case tells you that in order for 2 moles of Mg to react, you need 1 mole of O_{2}. Taking this into account, you apply a rule of three: if to react with two moles of Mg you need 1 mole of O_{2}, how many moles of O_{2} do you need to react with 4 moles of Mg?

moles of O_{2} =\frac{4 molesMg*1molO_{2} }{2 molesMg}

<em>moles of O_{2} =2 moles</em>

To know the mass of O_{2} that reacts, you must take into account <em>the molar mass of oxygen</em>, which is <em>32 grams / mol</em> and you can apply another rule of three: if in a mole of O_{2} there are 32 grams, how many grams are in 2 moles of oxygen?

mass of oxygen=\frac{2 moles* 32 grams}{1mol}

<em>mass of oxygen= 64 grams</em>

<em>Then, the required mass of oxygen to react with 4 moles of Mg is 64 grams</em>

<span>B.) 2Mg + 02 --> 2MgO. According to stoichiometry, 2 moles of Mg reacts with 1 mole of O2. Therefore 4 moles of Mg will react with 2 moles of O2. Therefore mass of O2 required = moles of O2 x molar mass of O2 = 2 x 32 = 64 grams.</span>

What gives bases their properties?
svp [43]
Bases are iconic compounds that produce negative hydroxide ions (OH-) when dissolved in water. Bases taste bitter, feel slippery, and conduct electricity when dissolved in water.... Bases turn red litmus paper blue. The strength of bases is measured on the pH scale.

A saturated solution of baso4 has a concentration of 0.5mol/l. a 55ml sample is taken by you. what is the mass of baso4 in the s
SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

6.4 g BaSO₄

Explanation:

You have been given the molarity and the volume of the solution. To find the mass of the solution, you need to (1) find the moles BaSO₄ (via the molarity ratio) and then (2) convert moles BaSO₄ to grams BaSO₄ (via the molar mass). It is important to arrange the conversions in a way that allows for the cancellation of units (the desired unit should be in the numerator). The final answer should have 2 sig figs to reflect the sig figs of the given values.

Molarity (mol/L) = moles / volume (L)

(Step 1)

55 mL / 1,000 = 0.055 L

Molarity = moles / volume                             <----- Molarity ratio

0.5 (mol/L) = moles / 0.055 L                        <----- Insert values

0.0275 = moles                                             <----- Multiply both sides by 0.055

(Step 2)

Molar Mass (BaSO₄): 137.33 g/mol + 32.065 g/mol + 4(15.998 g/mol)

Molar Mass (BaSO₄): 233.387 g/mol

0.0275 moles BaSO₄          233.387 g
---------------------------------  x  -------------------  =  6.4 g BaSO₄
                                                1 mole

Use the following scenario to answer the question: A cell has an antiport protein on its apical surface. The cell is placed in a
balu736 [363]

Answer:

The correct answer is "Secondary active transport".

Explanation:

Secondary active transport is a form of across the membrane transport that involves a transporter protein catalyzing the movement of an ion down its electrochemical gradient to allow the movement of another molecule or ion uphill to its concentration/electrochemical gradient. In this example, the transporter protein (antiporter), move 3 Na⁺ into the cell in exchange for one Ca⁺⁺ leaving the cell. The 3 Na⁺ are the ions moved down its electrochemical gradient and the one Ca⁺⁺ is the ion moved uphill its electrochemical gradient, because Na+ and Ca⁺⁺are more concentrated in the solution than inside the cell. Therefore, this scenario is an example of secondary active transport.
