Answer:
16 g/mol
Explanation:
In CO2, it means we have 1 mole of carbon and 2 moles of oxygen.
However, we want to find the molar mass of just a single mole of oxygen.
Now, from tables of values of elements in electronic configuration, the molar mass of oxygen is usually approximately 16 g/mol.
In essence the molar mass is simply the atomic mass in g/mol
Answer:
Percentage lithium by mass in Lithium carbonate sample = 19.0%
Explanation:
Atomic mass of lithium = 7.0 g; atomic mass of Chlorine = 35.5 g; atomic mass of carbon = 12.0 g; atomic mass of oxygen = 16.0 g
Molar mass of lithium chloride, LiCl = 7 + 35.5 = 42.5 g
Percentage by mass of lithium in LiCl = (7/42.5) * 100% = 16.4 % aproximately 16%
Molar mass of lithium carbonate, Li₂CO₃ = 7 * 2 + 12 + 16 * 3 =74.0 g
Percentage by mass of lithium in Li₂CO₃ = (14/74) * 100% = 18.9 % approximately 19%
Mass of Lithium carbonate sample = 2 * 42.5 = 85.0 g
mass of lithium in 85.0 g Li₂CO₃ = 19% * 85.0 g = 16.15 g
Percentage by mass of lithium in 85.0 g Li₂CO₃ = (16.15/85.0) * 100 % = 19.0%
Percentage lithium by mass in Lithium carbonate sample = 19.0%
Full question options;
(Fe, Pb, Mg, or Ca)
Answer:
Iron - Fe
Explanation:
We understand tht metals pretty much form bonds by losing their valence (outermost electrons). But this question specifically asks for metals that lose beyond their outermost electrons; next to outermost principal energy levels.
Pb, Mg, and Ca only lose their outermost electrons to form the following ions;
Pb2+, Mg2+, and Ca2+.
This is because their ions have achieved a stable octet configuration - the dreamland of atoms where they are satisfied and don't need to go into reactions again.
Iron on the other hand has the following electronic configurations;
Fe: [Ar]4s2 3d6
Fe2+: [Ar]4s0 3d6
Fe3+: [Ar]4s0 3d5
This means ion can lose both the ooutermost electrons (4s) and next to outermost principal energy levels (3d). So correct option is Iron.
