The law of conservation of mass states that mass is neither created nor destroyed during a chemical reaction. This can be gleane

d from the third postulate in Dalton's series. Magnesium oxide decomposes into magnesium and oxygen. If 16.12 g of magnesium oxide decomposes to form 9.72 g of magnesium, what mass of oxygen gas is also released in the reaction?

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

An energy of 6.8 x 10^-19 J/atom is required to cause an aluminum atom on a metal surface to lose an electron.
Nana76 [90]

Wavelength of the light is 2.9 × 10⁻⁷ m.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Planck - Einstein equation shows the relationship between the energy of a photon and its frequency, and they are directly proportional to each other and  it is given by the equation as E = hν,

where E is the energy of the photon

h is the Planck's constant = 6.626 × 10⁻³⁴ J s

ν is the frequency

From the above equation, we can find the frequency by rearranging the equation as,

ν = $ \frac{E}{h} = $ \frac{6.8 \times 10^{-19}}{6.626\times10^{-34}} = 1.03\times10^{15} s^{-1}

Now the frequency and the wavelength are in inverse relationship with each other.

ν × λ = c

It can be rearranged to get λ as,

λ = c / ν

 = $\frac{3\times 10^{8} ms^{-1}}{1.03\times10^{15}s^{-1}} = 2.9\times 10^{-7} m

So wavelength is 2.9 × 10⁻⁷ m.

What is a base?
aliya0001 [1]
The correct answer is A
its not D because a low pH is a acid
its not C because a base releases OH- ions
its not B because it donates and releases OH- ions

Answer:

V2 = 600ml

Explanation:

dilution principle formula

M1V1 = M2V2

C1V1 = C2V2

3 X 20 = 0.1 x V2

60 = 0.1 x V2

V2 = 60/0.1

V2 = 600ml

pls give brainliest
