Answer:
Total worth of gold in the ocean = $5,840,000,000,000,000
Explanation:
As stated in the question above, 4.0 x 10^-10 g of gold was present in 2.1mL of ocean water.
Therefore, In 1 L of ocean water there will be,
(4.0 x 10^-10)/0.0021
= 1.9045 x 10^-7 g of gold per Liter of ocean water.
So in 1.5 x 10^-21 L of ocean water, there will be
(1.9045 x 10^-7) * (1.5 x 10^-21)
= 2.857 x 10^14 g of gold in the ocean.
1 gram of gold costs $20.44, that is 20.44 dollars/gram. The total cost of the gold present in the ocean is
20.44 * (2.857 x 10^14)
= $5,840,000,000,000,000
The percent composition of this compound :
Mg = 72.182%
N = 27.818%
<h3>Further explanation</h3>
Given
9.03 g Mg
3.48 g N
Required
The percent composition
Solution
Proust stated the Comparative Law that compounds are formed from elements with the same Mass Comparison so that the compound has a fixed composition of elements
Total mass of the compound :
= 9.03 g + 3.48 g
= 12.51 g
The percent composition :
Mg : 9.03/ 12.51 g x 100% = 72.182%
N : 3.48 / 12.51 g x 100% = 27.818%
The correct answer would be equation 4, because there are 4 Hydrogens and 2 Oxygens on each side of the equation making it balanced.
The force that accelerates objects towards Earth is gravity.
