Answer is: the mass of the oxygen is 2.37 grams.

Balanced chemical reaction: 2Mg + O₂ → 2MgO.

m(Mg) = 3.6 g; mass of magnesium.

n(Mg) = m(Mg) ÷ M(Mg).

n(Mg) = 3.6 g ÷ 24.3 g/mol

n(Mg) = 0.149 mol.; amount of the magnesium.

n(O₂) = ?

From chemical reaction: n(Mg) : n(O₂) = 2 : 1.

n(O₂) = n(Mg) ÷ 2.

n(O₂) = 0.149mol ÷ 2.

n(O₂) = 0.075 mol; amount of the oxygen.

m(O₂) = m(O₂) · M(O₂).

m(O₂) = 0.075 mol · 32 g/mol.

m(O₂) = 2.37 g; mass of the oxygen.

A 13.5g sample of gold is heated, then placed in a calorimeter containing 60g of water. The temperature of water increases from

sweet-ann [11.9K]

Answer:

$T_i~=163.1$ ºC

Explanation:

We have to start with the variables of the problem:

Mass of water = 60 g

Mass of gold = 13.5 g

Initial temperature of water= 19 ºC

Final temperature of water= 20 ºC

Initial temperature of gold= Unknow

Final temperature of gold= 20 ºC

Specific heat of gold = 0.13J/gºC

Specific heat of water = 4.186 J/g°C

Now if we remember the heat equation:

$Q_H_2_O=m_H_2_O*Cp_H_2_O*deltaT$

$Q_A_u=m_A_u*Cp_A_u*deltaT$

We can relate these equations if we take into account that all heat of gold is transfer to the water, so:

$m_H_2_O*Cp_H_2_O*deltaT=~-~m_A_u*Cp_A_u*deltaT$

Now we can put the values into the equation:

$60~g*4.186~J/g{\circ}C*(20-19)~{\circ}C=-(13.5~g*0.13~J/g{\circ}C*(20-T_i)~{\circ}C)$

Now we can solve for the initial temperature of gold, so:

$T_i~=(\frac{60~g*4.186~J/g{\circ}C*(20-19)~{\circ}C}{13.5~g*0.13~J/g{\circ}C})+20$

$T_i~=163.1$ ºC

I hope it helps!

Give the electron confiuration of Chromium (Cr), atomic number 24.

nadezda [96]

Chromium is a transition metal and it has 24 electrons and here is the orbital diagram. If we're going to make this short hand and make the electron configurationfor this we would make this 1s2, 2s2, 2p6, 3s2, 3p6, 4s2, 3d4 okay from now on every time you see 3d4 you're going to change it, we do not like 3d4.

Two different compounds are obtained by combining nitrogen with oxygen. the first compound results from combining 46.7 g of n wi

kondaur [170]

First:

46.7 g of N with 53.3 g of O,

=> mass ratio O to N = 53.3 / 46.7 = 1.1413

Second

17.9 g of N and 82.0 g of O.

mass ratio of O to N = 82.0 / 17.9 = 4.5810

Third

Ratio of the mass ratio of O to N in the second compound to the mass ratio of O to N in the first compound =

= 4.5810 / 1.1413 = 4.013 ≈ 4

Answer: 4
