Answer:

The answer to your question is 280 g of Mg(NO₃)₂

Explanation:

Data

Efficiency = 30.80 %

Mg(NO₃)₂ = ?

Magnesium = 147.4 g

Copper (II) nitrate = excess

Balanced Reaction

                     Mg  +   Cu(NO₃)₂    ⇒    Mg(NO₃)₂   +   Cu

                  Reactants           Elements            Products

                         1                          Mg                     1

                         1                          Cu                      1

                         2                          N                       2

                         6                          O                       6

Process

1.- Calculate the theoretical yield

Molecular weight Mg = 24

Molecular weight Mg(NO₃)₂ = 24 + (14 x 2) + (16 x 6)

                                              = 24 + 28 + 96

                                              = 148 g

                           24 g of Mg  --------------------  148 g of Mg(NO₃)₂

                          147.4 g of Mg -------------------   x

                            x = (147.4 x 148) / 24

                            x = 908.96 g of Mg(NO₃)₂

2.- Calculate the Actual yield

yield percent = \frac{actual yield}{theoretical yield}

Solve for actual yield

Actual yield = Yield percent x Theoretical yield

Substitution

Actual yield = \frac{30.8}{100} x 908.96

Actual yield = 279.95 ≈ 280g

If 20.0g of MgSO4⋅7H2O is thoroughly heated, what mass of anhydrous magnesium sulfate will remain?
alina1380 [7]

Answer: 9.8g

Explanation:

The calculation is based on the fact that all the water in the molecule will be removed.

i will, then, calculate the mass of water removed and then subtract it from the original 20.0 g of sample.

You can do that following these steps.

1) Calculate the number of moles of the hydrated magnsium sulfate, MgSO₄⋅7H₂O

number of moles = mass in grams / molar mass

The molar mass of MgSO₄⋅7H₂O is calcualted from the atomic mass of each atom times the number of atoms in the formula:

molar mass = 24.305 g/mol + 32.065 g/mol + 4×15.999g/mol + 7×2×1.008g/mol + 7×15.999 g/mol = 246.471 g/mol

⇒ moles of MgSO₄⋅7H₂O = 20.0g / 246.471 g/mol = 0.0811 moles

2) Calculate the number of moles of water, using the ratio from the chemical formula:

7 moles H₂O / 1 mol MgSO₄⋅7H₂O = x / 0.0811 mols MgSO₄⋅7H₂O

⇒ x = 0.0811 × 7 moles H₂O = 0.568 moles H₂O

3) Convert moles of H₂O to grams:

number of moles = mass in grams × molar mass = 0.568 moles × 18.015 g/mol = 10.2 g

4) Hence the mass remaining is 20.0g - 10.2g = 9.8g

Which statement explains why low temperature and high pressure are required to liquefy chlorine gas?
Leona [35]
4 is correct. Since gases are made of rapidly moving molecules with a relatively high amount of kinetic energy, the molecules have a hard time coming together to form a liquid. You must lower their kinetic energy with a low temperature and force the molecules together with high pressure.
