Answer:

% Mg = 16.2 % ≈ 16 %

%N = 18.9 % ≈ 19 %

% O = 64.9 % ≈ 65 %

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Molar mass Mg(NO3)2 = 148 g/mol

Molar mass Mg = 24 g/mol

Molar mass N = 14 g/mol

Molar mass O = 16 g/mol

Step 2: Calculate the percent composition

% Mg = (24/148) *100%

% Mg = 16.2 % ≈ 16 %

% N = (2*14 / 148) * 100%

%N = 18.9 % ≈ 19 %

% O = (6*16/148) * 100%

% O = 64.9 % ≈ 65 %

A compound is 80.0% carbon and 20.0% hydrogen by mass. assume you have a 100.-g sample of this compound. the molar mass of the c
ch4aika [34]
Basis of the calculation: 100g
 
For Carbon: 
 Mass of carbon = (100 g)(0.80) = 80 g
  Number of moles of carbon = (80 g)(1 mole / 12g) = 20/3

For Hydrogen:
  Mass of hydrogen = (100 g)(0.20) = 20 g
     Number of moles of hydrogen = (20 g)(1 mole / 1 g) = 20

Translating the answer to the formula of the substance,
     C20/3H20

Dividing the answer,
    CH3

The molar mass of the empirical formula is:
    12 + 3 = 15 g/mol

Since, the molar mass given for the molecular formula is 30.069 g/mol, the molecular equation is,
    C2H6

ANSWER: C2H6

d1i1m1o1n [39]

Answer:

In this case, the system doesn't be affected by the pressure change. This means that nothing will happen

Explanation:

We can answer this question applying the Le Chatelier's Principle. It says that changes on pressure, volume or temperature of an equilibrium reaction will change the reaction direction until it returns to the equilibrium condition again.

The results of these changes can define as:

Changes on pressure: the reaction will move depending the quantity of moles on each side of the reaction

Changes on temperature: The reaction will move depending on if it's endothermic or exothermic

Changes on volume: The reaction will move depending the limit reagent  and the quantity of moles on each side of the reaction

In the exercise, they mention a change on pressure of the system at constant temperature (that means the temperature doesn't change). As Le Chatelier Principle's says, we must analyze what happens if the pressure increase or decrease. If pressure increase the reaction will move on the side that have less quantity of moles, otherwise, if the pressure decreases the reaction will move to the side that have more quantity of moles. In this case, we can see that both sides of the equation have the same number of moles (2 for the reactants and 2 for the products). So, in this case, we can conclude that, despite the change on pressure (increase or decrease), nothing will happen.
