Magnesium oxide is 60.3% magnesium by mass. What is the mass fraction of magnesium in magnesium oxide?

Chemistry

Answer:

A. 0.603

Explanation:

Mass fraction of an element in a substance = mass of that element / total mass of the substance.

Mass of magnesium = 24.3g/mol

Mass of oxygen = 16g/mol

Total mass of MgO = 24.3+16 = 40.3g/mol

Hence, the mass fraction of magnesium in Magnesium oxide =

24.3/40.3

= 0.6029

= 0.603

Another way is to divide the percentage by mass of magnesium by 100 i.e. 60.3% = 60.3/100

= 0.603

An atom has 3 protons, two electrons and 1 neutrons. Describe this atom using as many vocabulary words
andre [41]

Answer: This is a very unstable atom. It is a cation, meaning it is positively charged. This atom doesn't have an equal amount of neutrons to protons, so it is extremely unstable. It has a charge of +1 because it is missing a negatively charged particle, making a positive charge.

Compare and contrast diffusion and osmosis. Include at least one similarity and one difference between the two processes.
Softa [21]
Osmosis is the diffusion of water <span>across a semipermeable membrane (usually cell membrane) from a region of low solute concentration to a more concentrated solution so it can reach equilibrium (balance). 

D</span>iffusion is <span>a spontaneous movement of particles from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration.

Both results in particles moving and help balance out the concentrations.
Also, in osmosis, the water molecules are moving. In diffusion, it is the solutes moving.

I hope this helps and explains well.</span>

When 3.00 g of sulfur are combined with 3.00 g of oxygen, 6.00 g of sulfur dioxide (SO2) are formed. What mass of oxygen would b
Drupady [299]
Actually, we can answer the problem even without the first statement. All we have to do is write the reaction for the production of sulfur trioxide.

2 S + 3 O₂ → 2 SO₃

The stoichiometric calculations is as follows:

7 g S * 1 mol/32.06 g S = 0.218 mol S
Moles O₂ needed = 0.218 mol S * 3 mol O₂/2 mol S = 0.3275 mol O₂
Since the molar mas of O₂ is 32 g/mol,
Mass of O₂ needed = 0.3275 mol O₂ * 32 g/mol = 10.48 g O₂
