Compare the mass of the Mg ribbon with the mass of the magnesium oxide. Notice that the the mass of the magnesium oxide is great

er than the mass of the Mg. How do you account for this apparent increase in mass?

Answer:

Magnesium oxide is a binary compound of magnesium and oxygen while magnesium ribbon consists only of magnesium atoms.

Explanation:

The burning of magnesium in oxygen is a chemical change. It produces magnesium oxide having greater mass than magnesium ribbon. The greater mass results from the fact that the chemical reaction has added another element to the sample- oxygen. The mass of magnesium ribbon is the mass of magnesium atoms alone but in magnesium oxide, we consider the masses of magnesium and oxygen atoms making magnesium oxide heavier than magnesium ribbon.

What is the mole fraction of NaOH in an aqueous solution that
astraxan [27]

Answer:

The mole fraction of NaOH in an aqueous solution that contain 22.9% NaOH by mass=0.882

Explanation:

We are given that

Aqueous solution that contains 22.9% NaOH by mass means

22.9 g NaOH in 100 g solution.

Mass of NaOH(WB)=22.9 g

Mass of water =100-22.9=77.1

Na=23

O=16

H=1.01

Molar mass of NaOH(MB)=23+16+1.01=40.01

Number of moles =\frac{Given\;mass}{Molar\;mass}

Using the formula

Number of moles of  NaOH(n_B)=\frac{W_B}{M_B}=\frac{22.9}{40.01}

n_B=0.572moles

Molar mass of water=16+2(1.01)=18.02g

Number of moles of water(n_A)=\frac{77.1}{18.02}

n_A=4.279 moles

Now, mole fraction of NaOH

=\frac{n_B}{n_B+n_A}

=\frac{4.279}{0.572+4.279}

=0.882

Hence, the mole fraction of NaOH in an aqueous solution that contain 22.9% NaOH by mass=0.882

2.4 g of a solid is added to 91 g of water. What is the mass % concentration of the solution?
vladimir2022 [97]

Answer:

2.64%

Explanation:

mass percent = (grams of solute / grams of solution) x 100

mass percent = (2.4 / 91) × 100

mass percent = 2.64% to 3sf

If the distance between a point charge and a neutral atom and is multiplied by a factor of 5, by what factor does the force on t
dexar [7]

Given :

The distance between a point charge and a neutral atom and is multiplied by a factor of 5.

To Find :

By what factor does the force on the neutral atom by the point charge change.

Solution :

We know, electrostatic force between two object is directly proportional to product of charge and inversely proportional to distance between them.

Now, charge in neutral atom is 0 C.

So, the electrostatic force between two of them is also 0 N.

Therefore, by changing distance between the charge the forces did no change ( it remains zero).
