1.386 g of Mg ribbon combusts to form 2.309 g of oxide product. The mass percent of oxygen in the oxide is 40.0 %.
Let's consider the reaction for the combustion of Mg.
Mg + 1/2 O₂ ⇒ MgO
1.386 g of Mg combusts to form 2.309 g of MgO. We want to determine the mass of oxygen in MgO. According to Lavoisier's law of conservation of mass, matter is not created nor destroyed over the course of a chemical reaction. Then, the mass of Mg in the reactants is equal to the mass of Mg in MgO. The mass of the magnesium oxide is the sum of the masses of magnesium and oxygen. The <u>mass of oxygen in the oxide</u> is:
We can calculate the mass percent of O in MgO using the following expression.

Explanation:
It is known that formula for the ionization energy of hydrogen atom is as follows.
E = 
or, n = 
The value of energy is given as 0.544 eV. Therefore, we will calculate the value of n as follows.
n =
= 
= 5
Thus, we can conclude that n equals to 5 for a hydrogen atom if 0.544 eV of energy can ionize it.

Carbon (coke) burns in air to form carbon dioxide gas.
(i) C(s) + O2 ↑= CO2 ↑
Answer:
14.434 r.a.m.
Explanation:
- The atomic mass of an element is a weighted average of its isotopes in which the sum of the abundance of each isotope is equal to 1 or 100%.
∵ The atomic mass of N = ∑(atomic mass of each isotope)(its abundance)
∴ The atomic mass of N = (atomic mass of N-14)(abundance of N-14) + (atomic mass of N-16)(abundance of N-16)
atomic mass of N-14 = 14.0 r.a.m, abundance of N-14 = percent of N-14/100 = 78.3/100 = 0.783.
atomic mass of N-16 = 16.0 r.a.m, abundance of N-16 = percent of N-16/100 = 21.7/100 = 0.217.
∴ The atomic mass of N = (atomic mass of N-14)(abundance of N-14) + (atomic mass of N-16)(abundance of N-16) = (14.0 r.a.m)(0.783) + (16.0 r.a.m)(0.217) = 14.434 r.a.m.
