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%

3h2(g)+n2(g)→2nh3(g) what is the theoretical yield of ammonia, in kilograms, that we can synthesize from 5.25 kg of h2 and 32.7
Sergio039 [100]
Answer:
             29.75 Kg of NH₃

Solution:


              In order to calculate the theoretical yield, first we will identify the limiting reactant.
According to equation,

                      6 g (3 moles) H₂ requires  =  28 g (1 mole) N₂
So,
                      5250 g H₂ will require  =  X g of N₂

Solving for X,
                      X  =  (5250 g × 28 g) ÷ 6 g

                      X  =  25433 g of N₂

Hence, it is found that H₂ is the limiting reactant because N₂ is provided in excess (32700 g). Therefore,
As,
                   6 g (3 mole) H₂ produced  =  34 g ( 2 moles) of NH₃
So,
                       5250 g H₂ will produce  =  X g of NH₃

Solving for X,
                     X  =  (5250 g × 34 g) ÷ 6 g

                     X  =  29750 g of NH₃
Or,
                     X  =  29.75 Kg of NH₃

Which of the following statements is true? Fusion breaks apart nuclei; fission puts them together. Fission breaks apart nuclei;
blagie [28]

Answers:

Fission breaks apart nuclei

Fusion puts them together.

======================================================

Explanation:

The term "fission" is related to the term "fissure" which means "a cut or divide", often describing a geologic feature of the earth (eg: a crack in the rock).

Fusion is the idea of putting things together, which is the opposite of fission. The term doesn't have to apply to nuclear fusion. It could be something like the fusing of two ideas to create one new idea.

Olive oil has a density of 0.92g/ml. How much would 1.0 Liter of olive oil weigh in grams?
Julli [10]

Answer:

9.2x10²g

Explanation:

Data obtained from the question include the following:

Density = 0.92g/ml

Volume = 1L = 1 x 1000 = 1000mL

Mass =..?

Density is simply defined as the mass of the substance per unit volume of the substance. Mathematically it can be represented as:

Density = Mass /volume.

Mass = Density x volume

Mass = 0.92 x 1000

Mass = 9.2x10²g.

Therefore, 1L of olive will weigh 9.2x10²g.
