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

Identify each of the following mixtures as either homogeneous or heterogeneous and as a solution, a suspension, or a colloid.
Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Blood.

<span>Blood is heterogeneous because it has corpuscles (blood cells and platelets) physically suspended in blood plasma.   Blood plasma and the corpuscles have different properties and can be separated by methods such as centrifugation. Also, blood is considered a colloid suspension because it has the properties of both a colloid and a suspension. This is because the blood plasma acts as a colloid. More so, if blood was left to settle,then the blood cells would collect at the bottom hence taking the characteristic of a suspension. </span>

<span>Salad dressing.</span>

<span>Depending on the type of salad, it can either be a heterogeneous or homogeneous mixture. If the salad dressing is only of vinegar or any other oil, then it is a homogenous mixture. However, if it involves a mixture of vinegar and other oils, pepper, herbs, and etcetera, then it is a heterogeneous mixture</span>
