Answer:

This question is incomplete. The completed question is below

Which expression represents the percent by mass of nitrogen in NH4NO3?

A) 14 g N/80 g NH₄ NO₃ ₓ 100%

B) 28 g N/80 g NH₄ NO₃ ₓ 100%

C) 80 g NH₄ NO₃ /14 g N ₓ 100%

D) 80 g NH₄ NO₃ /28 g N ₓ 100%

The correct option is B

Explanation:

To calculate the percentage by mass of nitrogen in the compound, the formula will be

total mass of nitrogen/total mass of compound × 100

Atomic mass of nitrogen (N) is 14 g/mol

There are 2 nitrogen atoms present in the compound as highlighted below

<u><em>Total mass of nitrogen</em></u> (N) present in NH₄ NO₃ = 14 × 2 = 28g

Atomic mass of hydrogen (H) is 1 g/mol. There are 4 hydrogen atoms present in the compound, NH₄NO₃.

Atomic mass of oxygen (O) is 16 g/mol. There are 3 oxygen atoms present in the compound, NH₄NO₃

<u><em>Total mass of the compound</em></u> =

(14 × 2) + (1 ×4) + (16 × 3) = 80g

Hence, the percentage by mass of nitrogen in the compound (as shown in the formula earlier) is

28g of N/80g of NH₄NO₃ × 100%

W(N)={2M(N)/M(NH₄NO₃)}*100%

w(N)={2*14.0 g/mol/80.0 g/mol}*100% = 35%

How do you determine the chemical reactivity for metals by using the periodic table?

vesna_86 [32]

Answer:

Chemical reactivity increases down a group and decreases from left to right of a period.

Explanation:

The higher the ionization energy is, the lower the reactivity is. Since the ionization energy is highest in the top right corner of the periodic table, we can assume that the most reactive elements are in the opposite bottom left corner. This is because the electrons that react are farther away from the nucleus thus experience less attraction to the nucleus (called nuclear shielding). Therefore their electrons are more easily removed than elements that don't ecperience nuclear shielding.

It takes 2,500,00 Liters of Helium to fill the Goodyear Blimp. How many moles is this?

Valentin [98]

Answer:

102.26 moles of helium were required to Fill the Goodyear Blimp

Explanation:

To solve this question we need to use combined gas law:

PV = nRT

<em>Where P is pressure, V is volume of gas (2500L), n are moles of gas (Our incognite), R is gas constant (0.082atmL/molK) and T is absolute temperature</em>

<em />

Assuming atmospheric condition we can write P = 1atm and T = 25°C = 298.15K

Replacing:

PV/RT = n

1atm*2500L / 0.082atmL/molK*298.15K = n

<h3>102.26 moles of helium were required to Fill the Goodyear Blimp</h3>

How many Mg atoms are presented in 3.00 moles of MgCl2

ella [17]

Answer:

1.81 x 10²⁴ atoms

Explanation:

To find the number of atoms in the given number of moles, we need to understand that every substance contains the Avogadro's number of particles.

More appropriately, a mole of any substance will contain the Avogadro's number of particles which is 6.02 x 10²³ atoms

So;

If 1 mole of a substance = 6.02 x 10²³ atoms;

3 mole of MgCl₂ will contain 3 x 6.02 x 10²³ = 1.81 x 10²⁴ atoms

Use the van der waals equation to calculate the pressure exerted by 1.335 mol of cl2 in a volume of 4.920 l at a temperature of

nika2105 [10]

<span>Van der waal or ideal eqn is given by PV = NRT; P = NRT/ V. Where N = 1.335 is the number of moles. T = 272K is temperature. V = 4.920L is the volume. And R = 0.08205L. Substiting the values into the eqn; we have, P = (1.331* 0.08205 * 272)/ 4.920 = 29.7047/ 4.920 = 6.03atm.</span>
