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 %

Vanadium (II) oxide with Iron (III) oxide results in Vanadium (V) oxide and Iron (II) oxide. Balance this equation
evablogger [386]

Answer:

2VO + 3Fe2O3 —> V2O5 + 6FeO

Explanation:

The skeletal equation for the reaction is given below below:

VO + Fe2O3 —> V2O5 + FeO

We can balance the equation above by doing the following:

There are 2 atoms of V on the right side and 1 atom on the left side. It can be balance by putting 2 in front of VO as shown below:

2VO + Fe2O3 —> V2O5 + FeO

Now, we have a total of 5 atoms of O on the left and 6 atoms on the right side. We can balance it by putting 3 in front of Fe2O3 and 6 in front of FeO as shown below:

2VO + 3Fe2O3 —> V2O5 + 6FeO

Now, we can see that the equation is balanced

the air pressure from the atmosphere measures 0.5atm at an altitude of 18,000 ft. How much pressure is this in pounds per square
Julli [10]

14.7lb/in²

Explanation:

This is a conversion problem from atm to pounds per square inch

Pressure is the combined force per unit area of substance on another.

Given pressure = 0.5atm

To solve this problem ;

Convert from atm to N/m² to pound per square inch

    1 atm = 101325N/m²

  0.5atm = 0.5 x 101325 = 50,662.5‬N/m²

now we need to convert to pound per square inch;

     1N  = 0.225lb

     1m = 39.37in

Solving;

 101325 Nx \frac{1}{m^{2} }  x \frac{0.225lb}{1N }  x \frac{m^{2} }{39.37in x 39.37in} = 14.7lb/in²

"It is not the union that organizes the employees; it is management."
blsea [12.9K]

The statement<em> "it is not the union that organizes the employees; it is management "</em> means that :

  • The management creates the climate which allows the union to convince employees to accept union representation.

This excerpt shows that although the union helps in the organization of employees for better and easy management of staffs by the management, the management creates an enabling environment by creating stipulations which allows the u ions to convince staffs to join and accept union representation in staff welfare matters.

Hence we can conclude that, the management creates the climate which allows the union to convince employees to accept union representation.
