The answer is 60.3% magnesium, 39.7% oxygen.
Solution:
The chemical equation for the reaction is 2 Mg + O2 → 2 MgO.
Since magnesium reacts completely with oxygen, it is the limiting reactant in the reaction. Hence, we can use the number of moles of magnesium to get the mass of MgO produced:
     moles of magnesium = 14.7g / 24.305g mol-1
                                       = 0.6048 mol

     mass of MgO = 0.6048mol Mg(2 mol MgO/2mol Mg)(40.3044g MgO/1 mol MgO) 
                           = 24.376g MgO

We can now solve for the percentage of magnesium:
     % Mg = (14.7g Mg / 24.376g MgO)*100% = 60.3%

We also use the number of moles of magnesium to get the mass of oxygen consumed in the reaction:
     mass of O2 =  0.6048 mol Mg (1mol O2 / 2mol Mg) (31.998g / 1mol O2) 
                        = 9.676g

The percentage of oxygen is therefore
     % O2 = (9.676g O2 / 24.376g MgO)*100%
               = 39.7%
Notice that we can just subtract the magnesium's percentage from 100% to get 
     % O2 = 100% - 60.3% = 39.7%

The partial pressure of N2 in the air is 593 mm Hg at 1 atm. What is the partial pressure of N2 in a bubble of air a scuba diver
Evgen [1.6K]

Answer: Partial pressure of N_{2} at a depth of 132 ft below sea level is 2964 mm Hg.

Explanation:

It is known that 1 atm = 760 mm Hg.

Also,   P_{N_{2}} = x_{N_{2}}P

where,    P_{N_{2}} = partial pressure of N_{2}

                 P = atmospheric pressure

            x_{N_{2}} = mole fraction of N_{2}

Putting the given values into the above formula as follows.

      P_{N_{2}} = x_{N_{2}}P

    593 mm Hg = x_{N_{2}} \times 760 mm Hg

       x_{N_{2}} = 0.780

Now, at a depth of 132 ft below the surface of the water where pressure is 5.0 atm. So, partial pressure of N_{2} is as follows.

         P_{N_{2}} = x_{N_{2}}P

                  = 0.78 \times 5 atm \times \frac{760 mm Hg}{1 atm}

                  = 2964 mm Hg

Therefore, we can conclude that partial pressure of N_{2} at a depth of 132 ft below sea level is 2964 mm Hg.

Please Help! It says fill in the blanks to complete the Punnett square below to show the results of a cross between a homozygous
makkiz [27]

Answer:

Genotypes: Homozygous (GG)=50%, Heterozygous (Gg)=50%.

Phenotypes: Homozygous gray (GG)=50%, Heterozygous gray (Gg)=50% or just Gray=100%

Explanation:

Hello,

The Punnett square for this cross turns into:

\left[\begin{array}{ccc}&G&g\\G&GG&Gg\\G&GG&Gg\end{array}\right]

It means that the genotypes and phenotypes are:

Genotypes: Homozygous (GG)=50%, Heterozygous (Gg)=50%.

Phenotypes: Homozygous gray (GG)=50%, Heterozygous gray (Gg)=50% or just Gray=100%

Best regards.

What is the amplitude of the above wave?
Alinara [238K]

Answer:Amplitude in a longitudinal wave

Explanation:Wave amplitude of a longitudinal wave is the distance between particles of the medium where it is compressed by the wave. Wave amplitude is determined by the energy of the disturbance that causes the wave. A wave caused by a disturbance with more energy has greater amplitude.
