Answer:

Percentage composition = 14.583%

Explanation:

In chemistry, the emprical formular of a compound is the simplest formular a compound can have. It shows the simplest ratio in which the elements are combined in the compound.

Percentage composition by mass of Nitrogen

Nitrogen = 14g/mol

In one mole of the compound;

Mass of Nitrogen = 1 mol * 14g/mol = 14g

Mass of compound = 1 mol * 96.0 g/mol = 96

Percentage composition of Nitrogen = (Mass of Nitrogen /  Mass of compound) * 100

percentage composition = 14/96   * 100

Percentage composition = 0.14583 * 100

Percentage composition = 14.583%

The mineral magnesite contains magnesium carbonate, MgCO3 (molar mass= 84 g/mol), and other impurities. When a 1.26-g sample of
Leviafan [203]

The answer is 33.33 %


The explanation:


According to the reaction equation:


MgCO3(s) + 2HCl (aq) --> MgCl2(aq) + H20(l) + CO2(g)


we can see that 1 mole of MCO3 will produce → 1 mole of CO2


-Now we need o get number of mole of CO2:


and when we have 0.22 g of CO2, so number of mole = mass / molar mass


moles = 0.22 g / 44 g/mol = 0.005 mole


∴ moles of Mg = moles of CO2 = 0.005 mole


∴ mass of Mg = moles * molar mass


= 0.005 * 84 /mol = 0.42 g


∴ Percent of MgCO3 by mass of Mg = 0.42 g / 1.26 * 100


= 33.33 %

Answer:

See Explanation

Explanation:

An endothermic reaction is one in which energy is absorbed and the change in enthalpy for the reaction is positive.

If we look at the reaction 2HgO + 45kcal ----> 2Hg + O2; we will notice that

i) 45kcal of energy was taken in (absorbed) for the reaction to occur

ii) The value of the reaction enthalpy is positive

For these two reasons, the reaction is an endothermic reaction as written.
