Answer:
Explanation:
Given parameters:
number of moles magnesium = 6.80mol
number of moles of chlorine = 13.56mol
To find the complete chemical formula, we should obtain the formula of the compound.
Mg Cl
Number of
moles 6.8 13.56
Dividing
by the smallest 6.8/6.8 13.56/6.8
1 2
The formula of the compound is MgCl₂
This is an ionic compound in which Magnesium loses two electrons that would be gained by Cl atoms requiring just an electron each to complete their octet.
Oxidation reaction
In ---> In³⁺ + 3e ---1)
reduction reaction
Cd²⁺ + 2e ---> Cd ---2)
when balancing the reactions, electrons have to be balanced. to balance the electrons multiple 1st reaction by 2 and 2nd reaction by 3
1) x 2
2) x 3
2In ---> 2In³⁺ + 6e
3Cd²⁺ + 6e ---> 3Cd
add the 2 equations to obtain the overall reaction
2In + 3Cd²⁺ ---> 2In³⁺ + 3Cd
Answer:
29.41% of Calcium and 47.04% of Oxygen
Explanation:
The percent composition of an atom in a molecule is defined as 100 times the ratio between the mass of the atom and the mass of the molecule.
The mass of the molecule of the problem (Ore) is 46.28g. That means the percent composition of Calcium is:
13.61g / 46.28g * 100 = 29.41% of Calcium
And percent composition of Oxygen is:
21.77g / 46.28g * 100 = 47.04% of Oxygen
I think it would be Kriptonite
