A mixture of MgBr2 and inert material is analyzed to determine the Mg content. First the mixture is dissolved in water. Then all

of the bromide ion is precipitated as AgBr by the addition of an excess of silver nitrate. MgBr2(aq) + 2AgNO3(aq) 2AgBr(s) + Mg(NO3)2(aq) In one experiment, a 0.8107 g sample of the mixture resulted in 1.1739 g of AgBr. Determine the percent (by mass) of Mg in the mixture.

Answer:

9.24% the percent of Mg in the mixture.

Explanation:

Mass of silver bromide = 1.1739 g

Moles of silver bromide = \frac{1.1739 g}{188 g/mol}=0.006244 mol

1 mole of AgBr has 1 mole of bromine atom.Then 0.006244 moles AgBr has 0.006244 mole bromine atom.

Moles of bromine atoms = 0.006244 moles

Magnesium bromide has 2 moles of bromine atom.Then 0.006244 moles of bromine atoms will be in :

\frac{0.006244 mol}{2}=0.003122 mol

Magnesium bromide has 1 mole magnesium atom, then 0.003122 moles of magnesium bromide will have :

1\times 0.003122 mol=0.003122 mol magnesium atom

Mass of 0.003122 moles of magnesium :

0.003122 mol × 24 g/mol = 0.07493 g

Mass of the sample = 0.8107 g

Percentage of magnesium in the sample ;

=\frac{0.07493 g}{0.8107 g}\times 100=9.24\%

9.24% the percent of Mg in the mixture.

If a gas has a volume of 1000 ML at a temperature of 23°C and a pressure of 100 mmhg, what is it’s volume under standard conditi
Colt1911 [192]

Answer:

119.7 mL.

Explanation:

  • From the general law of ideal gases:

<em>PV = nRT.</em>

where, P is the pressure of the gas.

V is the volume of the container.

n is the no. of moles of the gas.

R is the general gas constant.

T is the temperature of the gas (K).

  • For the same no. of moles of the gas at two different (P, V, and T):

<em>P₁V₁/T₁ = P₂V₂/T₂.</em>

  • P₁ = 100.0 mmHg, V₁ = 1000.0 mL, T₁ = 23°C + 273 = 296 K.
  • P₂ = 1.0 atm = 760.0 mmHg (standard P), V₂ = ??? mL, T₂ = 0.0°C + 273 = 273.0 K (standard T).

<em>∴ V₂ = (P₁V₁T₂)/(T₁P₂) </em>= (100.0 mmHg)(1000.0 mL)(273.0 K)/(296 K)(760.0 mmHg) =  121.4 <em>mL.</em>

A bus travels 20km in 30minutes what is the average speed of the bus?
Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Answer:

40km/hr

Explanation:

Speed = Distance ÷ Time and since they both have different units we have to change one of them. Therefore if we change 30 minutes to half an hour we say 20km ÷ ¹/2
