A sample of the compound magnesium oxide is synthesized as follows. 60. g of magnesium is burned and produces 100. g of magnesiu

m oxide, indicating that the magnesium combined with 40. g of oxygen in the air. If 30. g of magnesium had been used, what mass of oxygen would have combined with it? What law of chemistry is used in solving this problem?

Answer:

30 g of magnesium would be combined with 20 g of oxygen. The law used solving this problem is the Lavoisier Law of conservation of mass.

Explanation:

If 60 g of magnesium combines with 40 g of oxygen to make 100 g of magnesium oxide, then 30 g of magnesium will combine with 20 g of oxygen to make 50 g of magnesium oxide.

This happens because in a chemical reaction there is no creation or descruction of atoms, only a rearrangement. Therefore, the mass of reactants should be equal to the mass of products.

The following equation represents the proportions of the substances:

Mg + 1/2O₂ → MgO

How do particles in matter change when a substance becomes hotter, cool down, or changes state?
Nana76 [90]

Answer:

When heat is added to a substance, the molecules and atoms vibrate faster. As atoms vibrate faster, the space between atoms increases. The motion and spacing of the particles determines the state of matter of the substance. The end result of increased molecular motion is that the object expands and takes up more space.

hope this helps!!!!!!

Chemists use the periodic table to organize the elements. What are some ways in which this organization is useful? Select all th
max2010maxim [7]

Answer: Another useful feature of the periodic table is that most tables provide all the information you need to balance chemical reactions at a glance. The table tells each element's atomic number and usually its atomic weight. The typical charge of an element is indicated by its group.

How many moles of nitrogen gas are there in 16.8 L of this gas at STP?
sweet-ann [11.9K]
According to Avogadro's Law, same volume of any gas at standard temperature and pressure will occupy same volume. And one mole of any Ideal gas occupies 22.4 dm³ (1 dm³ = 1 L).

Data Given:

                  n = moles = ?
                  V = Volume = 16.8 L

Solution:
               
As 22.4 L volume is occupied by one mole of gas then the 16.8 L of this gas will contain....

                           = ( 1 mole × 16.8 L) ÷ 22.4 L
                    
                           = 0.75 moles

Result:
           
16.8 L of Nitrogen gas will contain 0.75 moles at standard temperature and pressure.

A pycnometer is a precisely weighted vessel that is used for highly accurate density determinations. Suppose that a pycnometer h
dexar [7]

Answer:

5.758  is the density of the metal ingot in grams per cubic centimeter.

Explanation:

1) Mass of pycnometer = M = 27.60 g

Mass of pycnometer with water ,m= 45.65 g

Density of water at 20 °C = d =998.2 kg/m^3

1 kg = 1000 g

1 m^3=10^6 cm^3

998.2 kg/m^3=\frac{998.2 \times 1000 g}{10^6 cm^3}=0.9982 g/cm^3

Mass of water ,m'= m - M = 45.65 g -  27.60 g =18.05 g

Volume of pycnometer = Volume of water present in it = V

Density=\frac{Mass}{Volume}

V=\frac{m'}{d}=\frac{18.05 g}{0.9982 g/cm^3}=18.08 cm^3

2) Mass of metal , water and pycnometer = 56.83 g

Mass of metal,M' =  9.5 g

Mass of water when metal and water are together ,m''= 56.83 g - M'- M

56.83 g - 9.5 g - 27.60 g = 19.7 g

Volume of water when metal and water are together = v

v=\frac{m''}{d}=\frac{19.7 g}{0.9982 g/cm^3}=19.73 cm^3

Density of metal = d'

Volume of metal = v' =\frac{M'}{d'}

Difference in volume will give volume of metal ingot.

v' = v - V

v'=19.73 cm^3-18.08 cm^3=

v'=1.65 cm^3

Since volume cannot be in negative .

Density of the metal =d'

=d'=\frac{M'}{v'}=\frac{9.5 g}{1.65 cm^3}=5.758 g/cm^3
