Magnesium (Mg) has two electrons in its outer shell. Mg will _____.

1 answer:

7 0

1.Magnesium (Mg) has two electrons in its outer shell. Mg will <span>try to give two electrons to another atom (because the Mg is metal).

</span>2. When an atom loses electrons, it becomes <span>positively charged because its protons outnumber its electrons. ( In an atom, number of protons = number of electrons, when electrons are lost, the number of protons >the number of electrons.)</span>

a 1.912 g samplw of calcium chloride is decomposed and found to contain 0.690 g of Ca and 1.222 g of Cl. Calculate the mass perc

adoni [48]

Answer:

36.09% is the mass percent composition of calcium in calcium chloride

Explanation:

Mass percent is defined as one hundred times the ratio between the mass of a compound (In this case, Calcium), and the total mass of the sample:

<em>Mass Percent = Mass compound / Total mass of the sample × 100</em>

<em />

Computing the values of the problem:

Mass Percent = 0.690g / 1.912g * 100

Mass percent =

<h3>36.09% is the mass percent composition of calcium in calcium chloride</h3>

What is the mass of CO2 lost at 20 min from the limestone sample?

harkovskaia [24]

Answer:

The mass, CO2 and CO3 from the limestone sample is discussed below in details.

Explanation:

(A) mass loss of sample of limestone after 20 min

= 0.8437g-0.5979g = 0.2458 g

From the given reaction of limestone, 2 mol of the sample gives 2 moles of CO 2.

Therefore

184.4 g ( molar mass of limestone) gives2× 44 g of carbon dioxide.

1 g of sample gives 88/184.4 g of carbon dioxide

Hence 0.2458 g sample gives

= 88/184.4 × 0.2458 g = 0.117 g carbon dioxide

(B) mole of CO 2 lost = weight/ molar mass

= 0.117 g / 44 g/mol =0.0027 mole

(C). 1 mol of limestone contain 2 mol of carbonate ion

From the reaction we know that carbonate ion of limestone is converted into carbondioxide

Hence lost carbonate ion = 0.2458 g

(D) we know that

1 mol limestone contain 1mol CaCO 3

Hence in sample present CaCO 3

= 1mole / 184.4 g × 0.8437 g= 0.00458 mol CaCO3

A 6.1-kg solid sphere, made of metal whose density is 2600 kg/m3, is suspended by a cord. When the sphere is immersed in a liqui

deff fn [24]

Answer:

Density of the liquid = 1470.43 kg/m³

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of solid sphere(m) = 6.1 kg

Density of the metal = 2600 kg/m³

Thus volume of the liquid :

$Volume(V)=\frac{Mass(m)}{Density (\rho)}$

Volume of the sphere = 6.1 kg/2600 kg/m³ = 0.002346 m³

The volume of water displaced is equal to the volume of sphere (Archimedes' principle)

Volume displaced = 0.002346 m³

Buoyant force = $\rho\times gV$

Where

$\rho$ is the density of the fluid

g is the acceleration due to gravity

V is the volume displaced

The free body diagram of the sphere is shown in image.

According to image:

$mg=\rho\times gV+T$

Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 ms⁻²

Tension force = 26 N

Applying in the equation to find the density of the liquid as:

$6.1\times 9.81=\rho\times 9.81\times 0.002346+26$

$33.841=\rho\times 9.81\times 0.002346$

$\rho=\frac{33.841}{9.81\times 0.002346}$

$\rho=1470.43 kgm^3$

<u>Thus, the density of the liquid = 1470.43 kg/m³</u>
