Answer:

One of the errors for low percentage of magnesium could be because not all the magnesium may have reacted.

Explanation:

During the heating process, if the magnesium have not reacted completely, it can lead to low percentage of magnesium in the oxide formed. The product may still look a bit greyish rather than whitish after the heating process.

A mixture of 117.9 g of P and 121.8 g of O, reacts completely to form P4O6 and P4O10. Find the masses of P4O6 and P4O10
Alex17521 [72]

Answer:

Mass of P4O6=103.4

            P4O10=133.48

Explanation:

Balanced reaction is:

8P +8O_{2}  ⇒P_{4} O_{6} +P_{4} O_{10}

Both reactant completely vanishes as equivalent of bot are equal.

Moles of P=\frac{117.9}{31} =3.80

Moles of O_{2} =\frac{117.9}{31} =3.80

No. of moles of formed product are equal and is \frac{1}{8}th of mole of any of reactant.

Thus weight of  P_{4} O_{6} =\frac{3.80}{8}×220 ≈103.41

        weight of  P_{4} O_{10} =\frac{3.80}{8}×284 ≈133.48

The atomic mass is the sum of the number of ________ and ________ in the nucleus of an atom. Choose two answers from the options
iVinArrow [24]

Answer :

The atomic mass is the sum of the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom.

Explanation :

Atomic number : it is defined as the number of protons or number of electrons.

Atomic number = number of protons = number of electrons

Mass number or atomic mass : It is defined as the sum of the number of protons and the number of neutrons.

Mass number or atomic mass = Number of protons + Number of neutrons

For example :

Number of protons in carbon = 6

Number of neutrons in carbon = 6

Mass number or atomic mass = Number of protons + Number of neutrons

Mass number or atomic mass = 6 + 6

Mass number or atomic mass = 12

Thus, the atomic mass is the sum of the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom.

If you start with 30 moles of O2, how many moles of SiO2 can you make?
Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

30moles of SiO₂

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Number of moles of O₂  = 30moles

Unknown:

Number of moles of SiO₂  = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we need to write the reaction expression:

       Si +  O₂  →  SiO₂  

The reaction is balanced;

      1 mole of O₂ will produce 1 mole of SiO₂

     30mole of O₂ will produce 30moles of SiO₂
