Five valence electrons for one nitrogen and 10 valence electrons for two nitrogens
Okay
Mr (H2O)= 18g
therefore moles of H2O
is 720.8/18= 40.04mol
the ratio of H2 to O2 to H2O is
2 : 1 : 2
so moles of H2 is same as H2O here
H2= 40.04moles
moles of O2 is half
so 40.04 x 0.5
20.02moles
grams of O2 is
its moles into Mr of O2
that's 20.02 x 32 = 640.64g
The piece of unknown metal is in thermal equilibrium with water such that Q of metal is equal to Q of the water. We write this equality as follows:
-Qm = Qw
Mass of metal (Cm)(ΔT) = Mass of water (Cw) (ΔT)
where C is the specific heat capacities of the materials.
We calculate as follows:
-(Mass of metal (Cm)(ΔT)) = Mass of water (Cw) (ΔT)
-68.6 (Cm)(52.1 - 100) = 42 (4.184) (52.1 - 20)
Cm = 1.717 -----> OPTION C
As per the rule, oxidation number of alkaline earth metals in their compounds is +2. Oxidation number of oxygen in it's compounds is -2(except peroxides) and the sum of oxidation numbers of all the elements of a neutral compound is zero.
74.62 g of magnesium oxide is formed from 45.00 g magnesium so 74.62-45.00= 29.62 g of oxygen is consumed or in other words a new compound is formed in the burning of magnesium in oxygen with a heavier mass than the pure magnesium.
