Trava [24]3 years ago

Answer:

Some of the physical changes used by the industrial chemist in order to identify it is by scratching it with other metals in order to find the hardness of it. Trying to deform it in order to find the malleability, and to heat it and measure the temperature in order to find the melting point.  

Some of the chemical changes used by the industrial chemist in order to identify it is by inserting it in water to observe that whether it reacts with it or not, if the reaction is violent, then the metal belongs to either group I or group II. The other method is to insert it in acids of distinct strength and to observe its reaction. The metals belonging to the second group react briskly with acids. The other metals react gradually with acids and others are almost inert.

12 g of powdered magnesium oxide reacts with nitric acid to
galben [10]

Answer:

80.8 g

Explanation:

First, let's write a balanced equation of this reaction

MgO + 2HNO₃ → Mg(NO₃)₂ + H₂O

Now let's convert grams to moles

We gotta find the weight of MgO

24 + 16 = 40 g/mol

12/40 = 0.3 moles of MgO

We can use this to find out how much Magnesium Nitrate will be formed

0.3 x 1 MgO / 1 Mg(NO₃)₂ = 0.3 moles of Magnesium Nitrate formed

Convert moles to grams

Find the weight of Mg(NO₃)₂ but don't forget that 2 subscript acts as a multiplier of whatever is inside that parenthesis.

24 + 14 x 2 + 16 x 3 x 2 = 148 g/mol

148 x 0.3 = 80.8 g

A sample of a pure element has a mass of 45.6g and contains 4.19 x 10 23 atoms. Identify the element.
max2010maxim [7]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

    ZINC

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

<em>To identify the element based on the informartion given, we have to find the molar mass since this mass is unique to each element.</em>

            Molar mass = mass ÷ moles

<em>We already know the mass based on the question, as such we now need to find the # of moles.</em>

           Since 1 mole contains 6.02214 × 10²³ atoms

      then let  x moles contain 4.19 × 10²³ atoms <em>(given in the question)</em>

<em>     </em><em> </em>   ⇒   x =  (4.19 × 10²³ atoms  ×  1 mol) ÷ 6.02214 × 10²³ atoms

              x  =  0.69577 mol

<em>Now that we have the moles we can substitute it into the molar mass equation and solve for the molar mass.</em>

           ⇒ molar mass = 45.6 g ÷ 0.69577 mol

           ⇒ molar mass ≈  65.54 g/mol

                    This molar mass is closest to that of ZINC.
