10. When a 13.6 g sample of a compound containing only magnesium and oxygen is decomposed, 5.4 g of oxygen is obtained. What is

the percent of
magnesium in this sample?
• 5.4 g / 13.6 g * 100
• (13.6 g- 5.4g) / 13.6 g x 100
• (13.6 g- 5.4g) x 100
• 5.4g/ (13.6 g-5.4g) x 100

Answer: • (13.6 g- 5.4g) / 13.6 g x 100 is the correct option

Explanation:

Total mass of the sample containing only magnesium and oxygen is 13.6 grams. This means that the sum of the mass of oxygen and the mass of magnesium is 13.6 grams.

On decomposition of the sample, 5.4 g of oxygen is obtained. This means that the mass of magnesium that was obtained would be

13.6 - 5.4 = 8.2 grams of magnesium. Therefore, the percentage of magnesium in this sample would be

8.2/13.6 × 100 = 60.294%

-Lithium: Lithium got 3 protons, so it atomic number is 3. It is located on the first column of the periodic table, and belonging to the alkali metal. So lithium is a metal. Lithium is highly reactive.
-Neon: It is located on the 18th column of the periodic table, and belong to the noble gases. So Neon is a nonmetal. Neon's reactivity is very low.
-Fluorine: Located on the 17th column of the periodic metal, fluorine is a nonmetal, and belong to the halogen family. Fluorine's reactivity is high.

-Vertical columns of the periodic table are called columns. There is 18 column in the periodic table, and each one represent a chemical family.
-Horizontal rows of the periodic table care called periods. There is 7 periods in the periodic table.
-The number of protons in an atom is that element's atomic number. And since the atom is electrically neutral, the number of protons is equal to the number of electrons. So if you have the number of electrons, you can still find the atomic number.
-The total of protons and neutrons in an atom is that element's atomic mass. Based on the formula A = Z + N, where A represents the atomic mass, Z the atomic number (number of protons) and N the number of neutrons.
-The elements in group 1 are the most reactive metals. This group is called the Alkali metals. They only have 1 electron in their outer shell which makes them always ready to lose an electron in an ionic bonding.
-The elements in group 17 are the most reactive nonmetals. This group is called the Halogens, with 7 electrons in their outer shell which makes them always ready to win an electron in an ionic bonding.
-The elements in group 18 are the most unreactive elements. This group is called the Noble gases. Their outer shell is always full, so it can't do reactions.

Hope this Helps! :)

What are the components of an electromagnet and how do they get connected?
Dmitriy789 [7]
Well I'm sure many a time you've seen on some science experiment someone wrap a copper wire around a nail well thats generally the idea for electromagnets you get a solid piece of iron which is the only metal that is magnetic and you wrap a copper wire around it and the idea is to make two opposing magnetic poles by aligning the molecules with a electrical charge (a battery) so now with all three pieces assembles you have a copper wire attached to two sides of a battery and wrapped around a nail

A mixture of methane and carbon dioxide gases contains methane at a partial pressure of 431 mm Hg and carbon dioxide at a
KatRina [158]

Answer:

XCH₄ = 0.461

XCO₂ = 0.539

Explanation:

Step 1: Given data

  • Partial pressure of methane (pCH₄): 431 mmHg
  • Partial pressure of carbon dioxide (pCO₂): 504 mmHg

Step 2: Calculate the total pressure in the container

We will sum both partial pressures.

P = pCH₄ + pCO₂

P = 431 mmHg + 504 mmHg = 935 mmHg

Step 3: Calculate the mole fraction of each gas

We will use the following expression.

Xi = pi / P

XCH₄ = pCH₄/P = 431 mmHg/935 mmHg = 0.461

XCO₂ = pCO₂/P = 504 mmHg/935 mmHg = 0.539
