Answer:

Explanation:

Given parameters:

number of moles magnesium = 6.80mol

number of moles of chlorine = 13.56mol

To find the complete chemical formula, we should obtain the formula of the compound.

Mg Cl

Number of

moles 6.8 13.56

Dividing

by the smallest 6.8/6.8 13.56/6.8

1 2

The formula of the compound is MgCl₂

This is an ionic compound in which Magnesium loses two electrons that would be gained by Cl atoms requiring just an electron each to complete their octet.

1. A container holds four times as many moles of CO2 as O2. If the total pressure in the container is 20. atm,

Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

Partial pressure of CO2 = 16 atm

Explanation:

Total number of moles of gases = 4+1 = 5 moles

Mole fraction of CO2 = 4/5

Partial pressure of CO2 = mole fraction of CO2 × total pressure

Partial pressure of CO2 = (4/5) × 20

Partial pressure of CO2 = 16 atm

The Nutrition Facts label for crackers states that one serving contains 19 g of carbohydrate, 4 g of fat, and 2 g of protein. Wh

Answer: The amount of kilocalories contained in the given serving of crackes is 0.120 kCal

Explanation:

As per the USDA:

Carbohydrates provide 4 calories per gram, protein provides 4 calories per gram, and fat provides 9 calories per gram

We are given:

Mass of fat in the crackers = 4 g

Mass of carbohydrates in the crackers = 19 g

Mass of protein in the crackers = 2 g

Conversion factor used: 1 kCal = 1000 Cal

Applying unitary method:

For Fat:

1 gram of fat provides 9 calories

So, 4 gram of fat will provide = $\frac{9}{1}\times 4=36Cal=0.036kCal$

For Carbohydrates:

1 gram of carbohydrates provides 4 calories

So, 19 gram of carbohydrates will provide = $\frac{4}{1}\times 19=76Cal=0.076kCal$

For Proteins:

1 gram of proteins provides 4 calories

So, 2 gram of fat will provide = $\frac{4}{1}\times 2=8Cal=0.008kCal$

Total kilocalories per serving = [0.036 + 0.076 + 0.008] kCal = 0.120 kCal

Hence, the amount of kilocalories contained in the given serving of crackes is 0.120 kCal
