The  mass  of  MgO  needed to produce 4.8 tonnes of Mg   is
 8 tonnes  or 2,000 Kg  or 2,000 ,000 g

      calculation
Si  + 2 MgO  =  SiO2  +2 Mg


   step  1 :find the moles  of Mg


moles  =  mass/molar  mass
mass =  4.8 tonnes =  480,000  g
molar mass =  24 g/mol

moles  is therefore = 480,000 g/24g/mol = 200,000  moles

   then by use  of  mole  ratio  between   MgO to Mg  which is  1:1 therefore the moles  of MgO  is also = 200,000 moles

mass  of  MgO  =  moles of MgO x molar mass of MgO
molar mass  of MgO =  24 + 16 =40 g/mol

therefore the mass = 200,000 moles  x 40 g/mol  = 8,000,000 grams  or 8,000,000/1000= 8,000 Kg   or    8,000/1000  =  8  tonnes

Which of the following chemical reactions is an oxidation-reduction reaction?
3241004551 [841]
C. N₂ + 3H₂ → 2NH₃
In a redox, or oxidation-reduction, reaction, one of the reactants must be reduced, which means its oxidation number decreases, while the other reactant must be oxidized, which means its oxidation number increases. The oxidation number of nitrogen in the reactants is 0 and is -3 in the products, so it is reduced. Similarly, the oxidation number of hydrogen is 0 in the reactants but it is +1 in the products.

in order to find the molar mass of an unknown compound, a research scientist prepared a solution of 0.930 g of an unknown in 125
PtichkaEL [24]

Answer:

Molar mass→ 0.930 g / 6.45×10⁻³ mol = 144.15 g/mol

Explanation:

Let's apply the formula for freezing point depression:

ΔT = Kf . m

ΔT = 74.2°C - 73.4°C → 0.8°C

Difference between the freezing T° of pure solvent and freezing T° of solution

Kf = Cryoscopic constant → 5.5°C/m

So, if we replace in the formula

ΔT = Kf . m → ΔT / Kf = m

0.8°C / 5.5 m/°C = m → 0.0516 mol/kg

These are the moles in 1 kg of solvent so let's find out the moles in our mass of solvent which is 0.125 kg

0.0516 mol/kg . 0.125 kg = 6.45×10⁻³ moles. Now we can determine the molar mass:

Molar mass (mol/kg) → 0.930 g / 6.45×10⁻³ mol = 144.15 g/mol
