Answer:

The magnesium reacted with the oxygen in the air.

Explanation:

For argument’s sake, let’s say that the mass of magnesium oxide was 3 g and that of the oxide was 5 g.  

The reaction was

            magnesium + oxygen ⟶ magnesium oxide

Mass:           3 g                                          5 g

Mass of oxygen = 5 g – 3 g = 2 g

The 3 g of magnesium must have combined with 2 g of oxygen to form 5 g of magnesium oxide.

If 200 g of benzoyl peroxide are used with 38 Kg of PTFE monomer, calculate the expected molecular weight of the polymer if (i)
den301095 [7]

Explanation:

The molecular weight of benzoyl peroxide is 242.23 g/mol.

Therefore, number of moles present in 200 g of benzoyl peroxide are as follows.

            No. of moles = \frac{mass}{\text{molar mass}}

                                  = \frac{200 g}{242.23 g/mol}

                                  = 0.825 mol

Molecular weight of PTFE is 100 g/mol.Hence, calculate the number of moles of PTFE in 38 kg as follows.

As 1 kg = 1000 g. So, 38 kg = 38000 g.

             No. of moles = \frac{mass}{\text{molar mass}}

                                  = \frac{38000 g}{100 g/mol}

                                  = 380 mol

As it is given that the initiator is 15% active. So, actual number of moles of benzoyl peroxide are as follows.

                        0.15 \times 0.826

                           = 0.124 mol

For combination, 1 mol of benzoyl peroxide produces 1 chain. Therefore, degree of polymerization will be calculated as follows.

                    DP = \frac{380 mol}{0.124 mol}    

                          = 3065.33 mol

Average molecular weight of monomer is as follows.

       \frac{0.124}{0.124 + 380} \times MW_{benzoyl} + \frac{380}{0.124 + 380} \times MW_{PTFE}

       = 100.05 g/mol

Therefore, calculate the expected molecular weight of polymer as follows.

                   3065.33 \times 100.05 g/mol

                     = 306675.23 g/mol

Hence, for disproportion 1 mole benzoyl peroxide produces 2 chains.

                     DP = \frac{2 \times 380}{0.124}

                           = 6129.03

Therefore, calculate the expected polymer weight as follows.

                     6129.03 \times 100.05

                   = 613209.68 g/mol

Thus, we can conclude that the the expected polymer weight is 613209.68 g/mol.

It takes 26.8 mL of a 0.0700 M NaOH standard solution to neutralize a 250 mL sample of lactic acid (C3H6O3). What mass of lactic
Butoxors [25]
There is 1 OH- in 1 molecule of NaOH. 
Also, there is 1 H+ in 1 molecule of lactic acid.

So the reaction is simple.
so just equate the moles
moles of OH- in NaOH = moles of H+ in lactic acid
26.8 x 0.07 = 250 x Mole of lactic
Moles of lactic = 0.0075

so mass = 0.0075 x 90.8 =  0.681 g

Methane (CH4), is said to be the cleanest burning fossil fuel. When burned, it releases carbon dioxide gas and forms water. Usin
LiRa [457]

From the stoichiometry of the balanced reaction equation, the correct statement are;

  • For every 1 molecule of methane CH4 that reacts, 2 molecules of H2O are produced.
  • For every 20 grams of methane (CH4) that reacts, 40 grams of H2O are produced.
  • For every 200 moles of methane (CH4) that reacts, 400 moles of H2O are produced.

<h3>What is combustion?</h3>

The term combustion refers to the burning of fossil fuels for the purpose of energy production. The equation for reaction is CH4 + 2O2 ---> CO2 + 2H2O.

Using this equation as shown, the true statements are;

  • For every 1 molecule of methane CH4 that reacts, 2 molecules of H2O are produced.
  • For every 20 grams of methane (CH4) that reacts, 40 grams of H2O are produced.
  • For every 200 moles of methane (CH4) that reacts, 400 moles of H2O are produced.
