<span>Total mass = 2.75g
Mass % of Mg = 1.0g x 100/2.75g = 36.36 %
Mass % of O = 1.75g x 100/2.75g = 63.64 %
Mol of Mg = 36.36/24 = 1.515
Mol of O = 63.64/16 = 3.977
Ratio of Mol of Mg and O in the substance = (1.515 : 3.977) x 2 = 3 : 8
The empirical formula of substance is Mg3O8</span>
Answer:
10.09 grams
Explanation:
First you need to know the number of moles you are dealing with.
If you know that each mole has 6.022x10²³ of something (in this case of atoms), you can divide 3x10²³ atoms of neons by 6.022x10²³ to obtain the number of moles.
You have 0.5 moles of Neon, so then by the periodic table, you see that the molar mass of neon is 20.18g/mol, so by each mole you have 20.18 grams of neon. Multiply 20.18 grams by 0.5 moles and you got 10.09 grams of Neon
