First, we determine the mass of each element from the data collected. We can get the mass of molybdenum Mo from the difference between the mass of crucible and molybdenum and the mass of crucible:
Mass of molybdenum = 39.52 – 38.26 = 1.26 g Mo
We can calculate for the mass of molybdenum oxide from the difference between the mass of crucible and molybdenum oxide and the mass of crucible:
Mass of molybdenum oxide = 39.84 – 38.26 = 1.58g
We can now compute for the mass of oxygen O by subtracting the mass of molybdenum from the mass of molybdenum oxide:
Mass of oxygen in molybdenum oxide = 1.58 – 1.26 = 0.32g O
To convert mass to moles, we use the molar mass of each element.
1.26 g Mo * 1 mol Mo / 95.94 g Mo = 0.0131 mol Mo
0.32 g O * 1 mol O / 15.999 g O = 0.0200 mol O
0.0131 mol is the smallest number of moles. We divide each mole value by this number:
0.0131 mol Mo / 0.0131 = 1
0.0200 mol O / 0.0131 = 1.53
Multiplying these results by 2 to get the lowest whole number ratio,
0.0131 mol Mo / 0.0131 = 1 * 2 = 2
0.0200 mol O / 0.0131 = 1.5 * 2 = 3
Thus, we can write the empirical formula as Mo2O3.
Answer:
magnesium + hydrochloric acid → hydrogen gas + magnesium chloride
explanation:
the nitrogen in HNO3 is in the +5 oxidation state and is easily reduced. The reduction would result in the oxidation of the hydrogen gas, forming the water once again.The sulfur in H2SO4 is also in its highest oxidation state, +6.

Reactivity of non-metals depend on their ability to gain electrons. So, smaller is the size of a non-metal more readily it will attract electrons because then nucleus will be more closer to valence shell. ... Hence, Br is the non-metal which will be more reactive than At.
<span>More surface area --> more molecules of the solute in contact with the solvent --> more chance for a solvent molecule to collide with the solute molecules --> dissolves faster
