Answer : The total mass of oxygen gas released in the reaction will be, 12.8 grams

Explanation :

Law of conservation of mass : It states that mass can neither be created nor be destroyed but it can only be transformed from one form to another form.

This also means that total mass on the reactant side must be equal to the total mass on the product side.

The balanced chemical reaction will be,

2MgO\rightarrow 2Mg+O_2

According to the law of conservation of mass,

Total mass of reactant side = Total mass of product side

Total mass of 2MgO = Total mass of 2Mg+O_2

or,

Total mass of 2MgO = Mass of 2Mg  + Mass of O_2

As we are given :

Total mass of MgO = 16.12 grams

The mass of Mg = 9.72 grams

So,

Total mass of 2MgO = Mass of 2Mg  + Mass of O_2

2\times 16.12g=2\times 9.72g+\text{Mass of }O_2

\text{Mass of }O_2=32.24g-19.44g=12.8g

Therefore, the total mass of oxygen gas released in the reaction will be, 12.8 grams

When 4.15 grams of silver nitrate is reacted with 1.11 grams of iron(III) chloride, which best represents the amount of silver c
PolarNik [594]

Answer:

The mass of silver chloride produced = 2.202 g

Explanation:

Equation of the reaction is given below

3AgNO₃(aq) + FeCl₃(aq) ----> 3AgCl(s) + Fe(NO₃)₃(aq)

molar mass of AgNO₃ = 170 g/mol

molar mass of FeCl₃ = 233.5 g/mol

molar mass of AgCl = 143.5 g/mol

3 moles of silver nitrate reacts with 1 mole of iron (iii) chloride to give 3 moles of silver nitrate

4.15 grams of AgNO₃ = 4.15/170 = 0.0244 moles of AgNO₃

1.11 grams of FeCl₃ = 1.11/233.5 = 0.0047 moles of FeCl₃

mole ratio of AgNO₃ to FeCl₃ = 0.0244/0.0047 = 5 : 1

therefore, FeCl₃ is the limiting reactant

0.0047 moles of FeCl₃ reacting will produce 0.0047 *  3 moles of AgCl = 0.0141 moles of AgCl

0.0141 moles of AgCl = 0.0141 * 143.5 g of AgCl = 2.02 g of AgCl =

Therefore mass of silver chloride produced = 2.202 g

Mixtures of benzene and cyclohexane exhibit ideal behavior. A solution was created containing 1.5 moles of liquid benzene and 2.
goblinko [34]

Answer:

Vapour pressure of cyclohexane at 50°C is 490torr

Vapour pressure of benzene at 50°C is 90torr

Explanation:

Using Raoult's law, pressure of a solution is defined by the sum of the product sbetween mole fraction of both solvents and pressure of pure solvents.

P_{solution} = X_{A}P^0_{A}+X_{B}P^0_{B}

In the first solution:

X_{cyclohexane}=\frac{2.5mol}{2.5mol+1.5mol} =0.625

X_{benzene}=\frac{1.5mol}{2.5mol+1.5mol} =0.375

340torr = 0.625P^0_{A}+0.375P^0_{B} <em>(1)</em>

For the second equation:

X_{cyclohexane}=\frac{3.5mol}{3.5mol+1.5mol} =0.700

X_{benzene}=\frac{1.5mol}{3.5mol+1.5mol} =0.300

370torr = 0.700P^0_{A}+0.300P^0_{B}<em>(2)</em>

Replacing (2) in (1):

340torr = 0.625P^0_{A}+0.375(1233.3-2.333P^0_{A})

340torr = 0.625P^0_{A}+462.5-0.875P^0_{A}

-122.5torr = -0.250P°A

P^0_{A} = 490 torr

<em>Vapour pressure of cyclohexane at 50°C is 490torr</em>

And for benzene:

370torr = 0.700*490torr+0.300P^0_{B}

P^0_{B}=90torr

<em>Vapour pressure of benzene at 50°C is 90torr</em>

How much of a sample remains after three half-lives have occurred? 1/16 of the original sample 1/9 of the original sample 1/8 of
Drupady [299]
For this question, assume that you have 1 compound. This compound is divided in half once, so you are left with 0.5. That 0.5 that remains is divided in half again, this is the second half-life, and you are left with 0.25. The final half life involves dividing 0.25 in half, which means you are left with 0.125. For the answer to make sense, you need to know your conversions between decimals and fractions. To make it simple, if you have 0.125 and you times it by 8, you are left with your initial value of 1. Therefore, after three half-lives, you are left with 1/8th of the compound.

scoundrel [369]

Answer:

Increasing substrate concentration also increases the rate of reaction to a certain point. Once all of the enzymes have bound, any substrate increase will have no effect on the rate of reaction, as the available enzymes will be saturated and working at their maximum rate.
