41.38 % Mg

55.17 % O

3.45 % H

Explanation:

What is the percent composition of magnesium hydroxide Mg(OH)₂?

To find the percent composition we follow the next algorithm.

First we calculate the molar mass of Mg(OH)₂:

molar mass of Mg(OH)₂ = molar mass of Mg × 1 + molar mass of O × 2 + molar mass of H × 2

molar mass of Mg(OH)₂ = 24 × 1 + 16 × 2 + 1 × 2 = 58 g/mole

Now we devise the next reasoning:

if in         58 g of Mg(OH)₂ there are 24 g of Mg, 32 g of O and 2 g of H

then in   100 g of Mg(OH)₂ there are X g of Mg, Y g of O and Z g of H

X = (100 × 24) / 58 = 41.38 % Mg

X = (100 × 32) / 58 = 55.17 % O

X = (100 × 2) / 58 = 3.45 % H

dangina [55]

Answer:

1g of bromobenzene = 3.84× 10^21 molecules

Explanation:

Molar mass of bromobenzene (C6H5Br)= 79.9+(12×6)+ 5= 156.9

156.9g(1mole) has 6.023×10^23 molecules

This implies that 1g will contain 6.023×10^23/156.9 = 3.84×10^21 molecules

koban [17]

Answer:

(a) X electrode

(b) Y electrode

(c) Y electrode

(d) X electrode

(e) Y electrode

Explanation:

<em>A galvanic (voltaic) cell has the generic metals X and Y as electrodes. X is more reactive than Y, that is, X more readily reacts to form a cation than Y does.</em>

In the X electrode occurs the oxidation whereas in the Y electrode occurs the reduction.

Oxidation: X(s) → X⁺ⁿ(aq) + n e⁻

Reduction: Y⁺ˣ(aq) + x e⁻ → Y(s)

<em>Classify the descriptions by whether they apply to the X or Y electrode. </em>

<em>(a) anode.</em> Is where the oxidation takes place (X electrode).

<em>(b) cathode.</em> Is where the reduction takes place (Y electrode).

<em>(c) electrons in the wire flow toward.</em> Electrons in the wire flow toward the cathode (Y electrode).

<em>(d) electrons in the wire flow away.</em> Electrons in the wire flow away from the anode (X electrode).

<em>(e) cations from salt bridge flow toward.</em> Cations from the salt bridge flow toward the cathode (Y electrode) to maintain the electroneutrality.

Ad libitum [116K]

Answer:

Los elementos de la tabla periódica se distribuyen sobre la base de similitudes.

Explicación:

Los diferentes tipos de elementos se distribuyen en 8 grupos de tabla periódica en función de sus propiedades. Los elementos que tienen propiedades similares se colocan en el mismo grupo. Por ejemplo, el primer grupo de la tabla periódica son los metales alcalinos. Todos los metales alcalinos tienen algunas propiedades similares, es decir, un electrón en su capa más externa, alta reactividad y forma metálica, mientras que, por otro lado, los ocho elementos del grupo son gases nobles que tienen una capa más externa completa y no tienen reactividad.

The compound tyrosine contains 59.66% C, 6.12% H, 7.73% N, and 26.49% O by mass. What is the empirical formula of tyrosine?
Bezzdna [24]

Answer: C9H11O3N

Explanation:

The percentage by mass of each element is divided by its relative atomic mass. The lowest ratio is now observed. Each ratio is now divided by this lowest ratio and approximated to whole numbers. All these are shown in detail in the image attached.
