Answer:

Option A) Na

Explanation:

From the options given above, sodium (Na) is most likely to lose electron to form ion

Na is a group 1 metal. Metals form ions by losing electron(s).

From the options given above, only Na is a metal and so it is most likely to form ion by losing electron

Calculate the mass of magnesium carbonate ( MgCO3), in grams, required to produce 110.0 g of carbon dioxide using the following

bearhunter [10]

Answer:

$210.7~g~MgCO_3$

Explanation:

We have to start with the reaction:

$MgCO_3~->~MgO~+~CO_2$

We have the same amount of atoms on both sides, so, we can continue. The next step is to find the number of moles that we have in the 110.0 g of carbon dioxide, to this, we have to know the atomic mass of each atom:

C: 12 g/mol

O: 16 g/mol

Mg: 23.3 g/mol

If we take into account the number of atoms in the formula, we can calculate the molar mass of carbon dioxide:

$(12*1)+(16*2)=44~g/mol$

In other words: $1~mol~CO_2=~44~g~CO_2$ . With this in mind, we can calculate the moles:

$110~g~CO_2\frac{1~mol~CO_2}{44~g~CO_2}=25~mol~CO_2$

Now, the molar ratio between carbon dioxide and magnesium carbonate is 1:1, so:

$2.5~mol~CO_2=2.5~mol~MgCO_3$

With the molar mass of $MgCO_3$ ( $(23.3*1)+(12*1)+(16*3)=84.3~g/mol$ . With this in mind, we can calculate the grams of magnesium carbonate:

$2.5~mol~MgCO_3\frac{84.3~g~MgCO_3}{1~mol~MgCO_3}=210.7~g~MgCO_3$

I hope it helps!

What mass of powdered drink mix is needed to make a 0.5 M solution of 100 mL?

Maru [420]

Answer:

There is 17,114825 g of powdered drink mix needed

Explanation:

Step 1 : Calculate moles

As given, the concentration of the drink is 0.5 M, this means 0.5 mol / L

Since the volume is 100mL, we have to convert the concentration,

⇒0.5 / 1 = x /0.1 ⇒ 0.5* 0.1 = x = 0.05 M

This means there is 0.05 mol per 100mL

Step 2 : calculate mass of the powdered drink

here we use the formula n (mole) = m(mass) / M (Molar mass)

⇒ since powdered drink mix is usually made of sucrose (C12H22O11) and has a molar mass of 342.2965 g/mol.

0.05 mol = mass / 342.2965 g/mol

To find the mass, we isolate it ⇒0.05 mol * 342.2965 g/mol = 17,114825g

There is 17,114825 g of powdered drink mix needed
