Answer:

39.7 %

Explanation:

magnesium + oxygen ⟶ magnesium oxide

   10.57 g         6.96 g               17.53 g

According to the <em>Law of Conservation of Mass</em>, the mass of the product must equal the total mass of the reactants.

Mass of MgO = 10.57 + 6.96

Mass of MgO = 17.53 g

The formula for mass percent is

% by mass = Mass of component/Total mass × 100 %

In this case,

% O = mass of O/mass of MgO × 100 %

Mass of O = 6.96 g

Mass of MgO = 17.53 g

% O = 6.96/17.53 × 100

% O = 0.3970 × 100

% O = 39.7 %

Calculate the ph of a solution with a [H3O+]=5.6x10-9M
Kisachek [45]

Answer:

               pH  =  8.25

Explanation:

                   The acidity or basicity of a solution is measured by its pH. The pH scale ranges from 0 to 14. Solutions having pH from 0-6.9 are considered acidic, at 7 neutral and basic when ranging from 7.1-14.

pH is calculated as,

                                 pH  =  - log [H⁺]   ---- (1)

Where;

            [H⁺]  =  concentration of Acid

Also, for bases pH i calculated using following formula,

                                 pH  =  14 - pOH

Therefore, Putting value of H⁺ in equation 1,

                                 pH  =  - log [5.6 × 10⁻⁹]

                                pH =  8.25

The solution provided is basic in nature.
