What is the percent composition by mass of sulfur in the compound mgso4

Chemistry
1 answer:
Margaret [11]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

26.7% is the percent composition by mass of sulfur in a compound named magnesium sulfate.

Explanation:

Molar mass of compound = 120 g/mol

Number of sulfur atom = 1

Atomic mass of sulfur = 32 g/mol

Percentage of element in compound :

=\frac{\text{Number of atoms}\times \text{Atomic mass}}{\text{molar mas of compound}}\times 100

Sulfur :

=\frac{1\times 32 g/mol}{120 g/mol}\times 100=26.7\%

26.7% is the percent composition by mass of sulfur in a compound named magnesium sulfate.

10. Identify the products in the combustion of methane.
Oksanka [162]

Answer:

a. CO2 and H20

Explanation:

Chemically, this combustion process consists of a reaction between methane and oxygen in the air. When this reaction takes place, the result is carbon dioxide (CO2), water (H2O), and a great deal of energy. The following reaction represents the combustion of methane:

CH4[g] + 2 O2[g] -> CO2[g] + 2 H2O[g] + energy

One molecule of methane, (the [g] referred to above means it is gaseous form), combined with two oxygen molecules, react to form a carbon dioxide molecule, and two water molecules usually given off as steam or water vapor during the reaction and energy.

What are the trends and exceptions to the trends in electron affinity
slega [8]

Answer:

Explanation:

Electron affinity is the energy released in adding an electron to a neutral atom in the gas phase.

It is a measure of the readiness of an atom to gain an electron. This property is very peculiar to non-metals. The higher the value, the greater the tendency to accept electrons.

Across a period electron affinity increases due to the increasing nuclear charge not being compensated for.

Down a group, electron affinity decreases  due to the low nuclear charge and the large atomic radii.

The exception to this rule is the stability of half-filled sublevels. For example, nitrogen has a configuration of 2,5 with sublevel notation of 1s²2s²2p³.

The p-sublevel has a degeneracy of three and the three electrons goes in singly. This makes the configuration stable.

We expect such an atom to have a higher electron affinity but its configuration is stable and carbon would have a higher affinity than it across the same period.

Half filled sublevels are exception to the trend of electron affinity.
