22.5 g of silver nitrate reacts with excess magnesium bromide, determine the mass
Setler [38]

Answer:

9.82 g of Mg(NO₃)₂

Explanation:

Let's determine the reaction:

2AgNO₃  +  MgBr₂  → Mg(NO₃)₂  +  2AgBr

2 moles of nitrate silver reacts with MgBr₂ in order to produce 1 mol of magnesium nitrate and silver bromide.

We determine the moles of AgNO₃

22.5 g . 1mol / 169.87g = 0.132 moles

Ratio is 2:1.

2 moles of silver nitrate can produce 1 mol of magnesium nitrate

Then, our 0.132 moles may produce (0.132 . 1)/ 2 = 0.0662 moles

We convert moles to mass:

0.0662 mol . 148.3 g/ mol = 9.82 g

What do you think explains why the larger elements are able to form in a supernova explosion? Use evidence from the Supernova 10
lubasha [3.4K]

Larger elements are able to form in a supernova explosion because the star releases very large amounts of energy as well as neutrons, which allows elements heavier than iron to be produced.

<h3>What is Supernova?</h3>

This is referred to the explosion of a star and it resulting in larger elements being formed through a process known as nucleosynthesis and is usually accompanied by an increase in the brightness of the star.

The elements produced are usually larger than elements such as iron and examples include uranium, gold etc.

This is therefore the reason why it was chosen as the most appropriate choice.

Which of the following statements explains why atoms are always neutral in charge
laila [671]

Answer:

D. They have the same number of protons as electrons.

Explanation:

Protons are found in the nucleus of the atom and have a positive charge while electrons orbit around the nucleus and have a negative charge. Usually, in a neutral atom of an element, the number of protons is equal to the number of electrons. This is why the atom has no charge because the positive and negative charges cancel out. When an atom loses an electron its charge turns positive while when it gains an electron its charge turns negative.

Use your understanding of the terms "soluble" and "insoluble" to explain why you must shake a bottle of salad dressing made with
tekilochka [14]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

In chemistry, the idea of "like dissolves like" is of utmost importance. A substance is only soluble in another with which it can effectively interact.

We must note that to be "soluble" means that the solute actually interacts effectively (dissolves) in the solvent.

However, vinegar is a polar substance while oil is a non polar substance hence the two can not effectively interact. That is, the vinegar can not dissolve in oil.

The two will separate into two phases upon standing. Therefore, the bottle of salad dressing made with oil and vinegar must be shaken in order to mix the two thoroughly before it is used.
