Zinc and magnesium metal each reacts with hydrochloric acid to make chloride salts of the respective metals, and hydrogen gas. a

11.20-g mixture of zinc and magnesium produces 0.6854 g of hydrogen gas upon being mixed with an excess of hydrochloric acid. determine the percent magnesium by mass in the original mixture.

M=11.20 g
m(H₂)=0.6854 g
M(H₂)=2.016 g/mol
M(Mg)=24.305 g/mol
M(Zn)=65.39 g/mol
w-?

m(Mg)=wm
m(Zn)=(1-w)m

Zn + 2HCl = ZnCl₂ + H₂
m₁(H₂)=M(H₂)m(Zn)/M(Zn)=M(H₂)(1-w)m/M(Zn)

Mg + 2HCl = MgCl₂ + H₂
m₂(H₂)=M(H₂)m(Mg)/M(Mg)=M(H₂)wm/M(Mg)

m(H₂)=m₁(H₂)+m₂(H₂)
m(H₂)=M(H₂)(1-w)m/M(Zn)+M(H₂)wm/M(Mg)=M(H₂)m{(1-w)/M(Zn)+w/M(Mg)}

m(H₂)=M(H₂)m{(1-w)/M(Zn)+w/M(Mg)}

(1-w)/M(Zn)+w/M(Mg)=m(H₂)/{M(H₂)m}

1/M(Zn)-w/M(Zn)+w/M(Mg)=m(H₂)/{M(H₂)m}

w(1/M(Mg)-1/M(Zn))=m(H₂)/{M(H₂)m}-1/M(Zn)

w=[m(H₂)/{M(H₂)m}-1/M(Zn)]/(1/M(Mg)-1/M(Zn))

w=0.583 (58.3%)

How much kinetic energy does a 2kg object have if it is traveling at a velocity of 2m/s?
Kazeer [188]

Answer:

Given, Mass of an object, m = 2kg

velocity, v = 2m/s

We have,

KE = 1/2 m v²

= 1/2 × 2 (2)²

= 1/2 × 8

= 4J

Hence, 4J is the required Kinetic energy.

What do the Roman numerals in a cation's name indicate?
Agata [3.3K]
The Roman numerals in a cation's name indicate: THE POSITIVE CHARGE ON THE CATION

Cations are metallic atoms that loosely hold it electrons, making it easy to lose electrons.

The Roman numerals in a cation's name not only indicates the charge on the cation but it makes it easier to distinguish cations that share the same metal name.

Calculate the % composition of the unknown liquid using your most precise result. It is a mixture of ethanol (D[ETOH] = 0.7890 g
Rufina [12.5K]

% composition of ethanol = 34.51%

% composition of water  = 65.49%

<h3>What is density?</h3>

A material's density is defined as its mass per unit volume.

Given data:

The density of ethanol = 0.7890 g/mL

The density of water = 0.9982 g/mL

The density of mixture = 0.926 g/mL

Let the % composition of ethanol = x

Let the % composition of water = 100-x

Now density of the mixture

\frac{Mass}{Volume}

Mass = \frac{percent  \;of  \;ethanol  \;X  \;density  \;of  \;ethanol  \;+  \\ \;percent  \;of  \;water X  \;density  \;of  \;water}{100}

0.926 = \frac{x X  0.7890 g/mL  \;+  (100-x) X  0.9982 g/mL}{100}

x= 34.51 %

Hence,

% composition of ethanol = 34.51%

% composition of water = 65.49%
