What mass of oxygen reacts with 3.6 g of magnesium to form magnesium oxide?

Chemistry
1 answer:
levacccp [35]3 years ago
3 0

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.

1.Which element would most likely lose electrons to form positive ions when bonding with other elements?
wariber [46]

1) The element that will most likely lose electrons to form positive ions when bonding with other elements is rubidium (Rb).

2) The correct statement about sodium atoms is; "The sodium atom transfers electrons to the chlorine atoms to form ionic bonds."

3) Based on their location in the periodic table, nitrogen (N) and oxygen (O) are most likely to form covalent bonds with each other

4) Electronegativity is best described by the phrase; "the relative strength with which an element attracts electrons in a chemical bond"

Metals of group 1 and 2 are highly electropositive and are more likely to loose electrons in a bonding situation. Therefore, the element that will most likely lose electrons to form positive ions when bonding with other elements is rubidium (Rb).

Sodium chloride is an ionic compound. It is formed by transfer of electrons from sodium to chlorine. Sodium is highly electropositive while chlorine is highly electronegative. Therefore, sodium chloride is formed when sodium atom transfers electrons to the chlorine atoms to form ionic bonds.

Covalent bonds are formed between two nonmetals. Nitrogen and oxygen are non metals hence they form covalent bonds.

According to Linus Pauling, electronegativity refers to the ability of an element in a compound to draw electrons towards itself.

Compare rutherford's expected outcome of the gold-foil experiment with the actual outcome.
iragen [17]
Rutherford was one of the early scientists who worked on the atomic model. Before his discovery of the nucleus, the widely accepted theory was J.J Thomson's Plum Pudding Model. In this model, all the protons, electrons and neutrons are in the nucleus. But the electrons are more in number such that the electrons act as the 'pudding' and the proton and nucleus the 'plum'. This was Rutherford's hypothesis in his gold foil experiment. In order to test the Plum Pudding model, he hypothesized that when a beam of light is aimed at the atom, it would not diffract because the charges in the nucleus are well-distributed. However, his experiment disproved Thomson's model. Some light indeed passed through but a few was diffracted back to the source. He concluded that this was because there is a dense mass inside the atom called nucleus. Thus, from there on, he proposed the model that the electrons are orbiting around the nucleus.

What is the mass of a 1.68-l sample of a liquid that has a density of 0.921g/ml?
Gwar [14]
Hey there!

Volume in mL :

1.68 L  * 1000 => 1680 mL

Density = 0.921 g/mL

Therefore:

Mass = density * Volume

Mass = 0.921 * 1680

Mass = 1547.28 g
