Calculate the percentage composition of Mg3 (Po4)2

1 answer:

7 0

Mg3(PO4)2 - the molar mass would be 262g/mol, which is 100%

Atomic mass of Mg is 24, since we have 3Mg we multiply by 3 and get a mass of 72

262 : 100% = 72 : x%

x = 72*100 / 262

x = 27.5%

And do that for every element — get the molar mass of P and multiply by 2, use a ratio, and get the molar mass of O and multiply by 8 and use ratios :)

Why will a reaction occur between calcium oxalate and platinum?

olga2289 [7]

Answer:

Complex formation

Explanation:

At first sight, one may think that a reaction between calcium oxalate and platinum metal is impossible considering the relative positions of the two metals in the electrochemical series.

However, in solution, calcium oxalate dissociates into calcium and oxalate ions. When platinum is added to this solution, a complex is formed between the platinum ions and the oxalate ions. Hence a reaction occurs for this reason.

Why is heat needed to get a reaction to occur

Ahat [919]

Answer:As temperature increases, reactions take place. Generally, higher temperatures mean faster reaction rates; as molecules move about more quickly, reactant molecules are more likely to interact, forming products.

Write a net ionic equation to show that acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin), hc9h7o4, behaves as a brÃ¸nsted-lowry acid in water.

Thepotemich [5.8K]

By definition, Bronsted-Lowry acid is a proton donor in the acid-base neutralization reaction. When a weak acid like acetylsalicylic acid is reacted with water, the water here acts as the Bronsted-Lowry base. This is possible because water has properties of amphoterism - can act as an acid or base. In this case, acetylsalicylic acid would have to donate its H+ atom to water, so that it would yield a hydronium ion, H₃O⁺. The complete net ionic reaction is shown in the picture.

So, in the reaction, the products yield are the acetylsalicylate ion and the hydronium ion.
