Magnesium Peroxydisulphate with formula of MgS₂O₈.

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

The question clearly stands on the concept of molarity and atomic weights.

The atomic weight of magnesium = 24.

The atomic weight of sulphur = 32.

The atomic weight of oxygen = 16.

The amount of magnesium present = 0.248 g

The amount of sulphur present = 0.665 g.

The amount of oxygen present = 1.31g.

So, moles of magnesium present = 0.01 moles.

Moles of sulphur present = 0.02 moles.

Moles of oxygen present = 0.08 moles.

So, mole ratio of the compound as magnesium : sulphur : oxygen = 1:2:8.

So the compound is Magnesium Peroxydisulphate with formula of MgS₂O₈.

The following three equations represent reactions done in this lab exercise. Classify each reaction by their type. Note there ma
gulaghasi [49]

Answer: 1. Cu(s)+4HNO_3(aq)rightarrow Cu(NO_3)_2(aq)+2NO_2(g)+2H_2O(l) : oxidation reduction

2. Cu(NO_3)_2(aq)+2NaOH(aq)\rightarrow Cu(OH)_2(s)+2NaNO_3(aq) : precipitation

3. CuO(s)+2HCl(aq)\rightarrow CuCl_2(aq)+H_2O(l) : Double displacement

Explanation:

Oxidation-reduction reaction or redox reaction is defined as the reaction in which oxidation and reduction reactions occur simultaneously.

Oxidation reaction is defined as the reaction in which a substance looses its electrons. The oxidation state of the substance increases.Reduction reaction is defined as the reaction in which a substance gains electrons. The oxidation state of the substance gets reduced.

Cu(s)+4HNO_3(aq)rightarrow Cu(NO_3)_2(aq)+2NO_2(g)+2H_2O(l)

Double displacement reaction is defined as the reaction where exchange of ions takes place. Double displacement reaction in which one of the product remain in solid form are represented by (s) after their chemical formulas. Such double displacement reaction are called as precipitation reaction.

Cu(NO_3)_2(aq)+2NaOH(aq)\rightarrow Cu(OH)_2(s)+2NaNO_3(aq)

Double displacement reaction is defined as the reaction where exchange of ions takes place.

CuO(s)+2HCl(aq)\rightarrow CuCl_2(aq)+H_2O(l)

Single displacement reaction is defined as the reaction where more reactive element displaces a less reactive element from its chemical reaction.

Decomposition reaction is defined as the reaction where a single substance breaks down into two or more simpler substances.

Synthesis/Combination reaction is defined as the reaction where substances combine in their elemental state to form a single compound.

30 Points! What is the difference between an atom and an ion
ValentinkaMS [17]
Atom is a neutral element found in nature without any charge. In other words, it has same number of Protons and electrons, whereas ion is a charged thing, either positive or negative. We can find their charge by:

Charge = Number of Protons - Number of Electrons

Hope this helps!

An element's atomic mass does not include the mass of its <br> Electrons <br> Protons <br> Neutrons
klio [65]
  Mass  of  electrons  are not  included when  calculating  the  atomic  mass  of   element.  Atomic  mass  of  the   element  is  equal  to   proton  +  neurons.  Example  the    the  mass  number  of  Nitrogen can   be  calculated as      7 protons  +  7  neutrons  to  give 14 .  thus  nitrogen  has  a  mass  number  of  14
