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 amount (moles) is represented by each of these samples?
Zinaida [17]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

                  a)  Moles of Caffeine  =  1.0 × 10⁻⁴ mol

                  b) Moles of Ethanol   =  4.5 × 10⁻³ mol

<h3>Solution:</h3>

Data Given:

                  Mass of Caffeine  =  20 mg  =  0.02 g

                  M.Mass of Caffeine  =  194.19 g.mol⁻¹

                  Molecules of Ethanol  =  2.72 × 10²¹

Calculate Moles of Caffeine as,

                               Moles  =  Mass ÷ M.Mass

Putting values,

                               Moles  =  0.02 g ÷ 194.19 g.mol⁻¹

                                Moles  =  1.0 × 10⁻⁴ mol

Calculate Moles of Ethanol as,

                                                         As we know one mole of any substance contains 6.022 × 10²³ particles (atoms, ions, molecules or formula units). This number is also called as Avogadro's Number.

The relation between Moles, Number of Particles and Avogadro's Number is given as,

                          Number of Moles  =  Number of Molecules ÷ 6.022 × 10²³

Putting values,

                          Number of Moles  =  2.72 × 10²¹ Molecules ÷ 6.022 × 10²³

                          Number of Moles  =  4.5 × 10⁻³ Moles

Magnesium has three naturally occurring isotopes with masses of 23.99 amu, 24.99 amu, and 25.98 amu and natural abundances of 78
mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:24.31

Explanation:Contribution made by isotope of mass 23.99= 23.99×78.99=1894.97

Contribution made by isotope of mass 24.99=24.99×10.00=249.9

Contribution made by isotope of mass 25.98=25.98×11.01=286.04

Total contribution=1894.97+249.9+286.04=2430.91

Average mass=2430.91÷100

=24.31

Please show some work For the reaction: NO(g) + 1/2 O2(g) → NO2(g) ΔH°rxn is -114.14 kJ/mol. Calculate ΔH°f of gaseous nitrogen
uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

148.04 kJ/mol

Explanation:

Let's consider the following thermochemical equation.

NO(g) + 1/2 O₂(g) → NO₂(g)      ΔH°rxn = -114.14 kJ/mol

We can find the standard enthalpy of formation (ΔH°f) of NO(g) using the following expression.

ΔH°rxn = 1 mol × ΔH°f(NO₂(g)) - 1 mol × ΔH°f(NO(g)) - 1/2 mol × ΔH°f(O₂(g))

ΔH°f(NO(g)) = 1 mol × ΔH°f(NO₂(g)) - ΔH°rxn - 1/2 mol × ΔH°f(O₂(g)) / 1 mol

ΔH°f(NO(g)) = 1 mol × 33.90 kJ/mol - (-114.14 kJ) - 1/2 mol × 0 kJ/mol / 1 mol

ΔH°f(NO(g)) = 148.04 kJ/mol
