A mixture of MgCl2 and NaCl has an initial mass of 0.4015 g. Excess AgNO3(aq) was added and 1.032 g of precipitate, AgCl(s), was

recovered. How many moles of MgCl2 were in the original mixture?

Answer:

8.909*10^-4 moles

Explanation:

The mixture contains MgCl_{2} and NaCl with a total mass of 0.4015 g. The mass of precipitate AgCl(aq) is 1.032 g and it has a molar mass of 143.32 g/mol. Therefore, the moles of the precipitate is:

n = 1.032/143.32 = 7.2007*10^-3 moles

Molar mass of NaCl = 58.44 g/mol and the molar mass of MgCl_{2} is 95.21 g/mol. Let the mass (g) of MgCl_{2}  in the original mixture be 'x'. Thus:

7.2007*10^-3 = (0.4015-x)/58.44 + 2x/95.21

(7.2007*10^-3)*58.44*95.21 = 95.21(0.4015-x) + 2x(58.44)

40.06505 = 38.227 -95.21x + 116.88x

40.06505 - 38.227 = -95.21x + 116.88x

1.83805 = 21.67x

x = 1.83805/21.67 = 0.0848 g

moles of MgCl_{2} = 0.0848g/95.21 g/mol = 8.909*10^-4 moles

What examples does<br> - Making Materials<br> - Moving Materials<br> - Removing Waste
Sidana [21]

Answer:

You remove waste as a gas (carbon dioxide), as a liquid (urine and sweat), and as a solid. Excretion is the process of removing wastes and excess water from the body. Recall that carbon dioxide travels through the blood and is transferred to the lungs where it is exhaled

Moving Materials include aluminum foil tape, shipping tape, box tape and duct tape. Moving labels take the guesswork out of the moving process.

Consider the balanced chemical equation for the combustion of methane (CH4).
Mrac [35]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

                  89.6 L of O₂

<h3>Solution:</h3>

The balanced chemical equation is as,

                                CH₄  +  2 O₂    →    CO₂  +  2 H₂O

As at STP, one mole of any gas (Ideal gas) occupies exactly 22.4 L of Volume. Therefore, According to equation,

             44 g ( 1 mol) CO₂ is produced by  =  44.8 L (2 mol) of O₂

So,

                  88 g CO₂ will be produced by  = X L of O₂

Solving for X,

                        X = (88 g × 44.8 L) ÷ 44 g

                        X = 89.6 L of O₂

I need help with these two
bearhunter [10]

Answer:

6. d,  7. a

Explanation:

6. Molarity is a number of moles solute in 1 L solution.

7. 1 L solution - 2.5 mol K2CO3

 20 L             - x mol K2CO3

x  =20*2.5/1 = 50 mol K2CO3

Molar mass(KCO3) = M(K) + M(C) + 3M(O)= 39 +12 +3*16= 99 g/mol

99 g/mol *50 mol = 4950 g KCO3 Closest answer is A.

Actually KCO3 does not exist, in reality it should be K2CO3.
