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 %

How many valence electrons does calcium want to gain or lose to have a full outer shell?
grandymaker [24]

Explanation:

For example, Identify the number and type of ions formed in a reaction of calcium and carbon. Step 1: Determine the number of valence electrons for each element and whether the element loses or gains electrons. Calcium has 2 valence electrons and is a metal so it will give up two electrons.

PLZZZZ HELPPPPPPPPPPPP<br><br> Which correctly describes molecule "a" in this diagram
pogonyaev

Answer is: adenosine triphosphate.

ATP is made of three components: the triphosphate (P), the sugar ribose and a nitrogenous base (adenine).

ATP is short for adenosine triphosphate

Adenosine triphosphate converts to either the adenosine diphosphate (ADP) or adenosine monophosphate (AMP), in this process energy is released.

Germanium and chlorine react according to the following chemical equation:
seropon [69]

The mass of GeCl4 that would be formed will be 1.51 g

<h3>Stoichiometric calculations</h3>

From the balanced equation of the reaction:

Ge (s) + 2Cl2 (g) →GeCl4

The mole ratio of Ge and Cl2 is 1:2.

Mole of 1.0 g Ge: 1/72.64

                               = 0.01377 mole

Mole of 1.0 g Cl2 = 1/71

                             = 0.01408 mole

Thus, Cl2 is limiting.

Mole ratio of Cl2 and GeCl4 = 2:1

Equivalent mole of GeCl4 = 0.01408/2

                                       = 0.0070 mole

Mass of 0.0070 mole GeCl4 = 0.0070 x 214.4

                                               = 1.51 g
