The key principle here is to find the mole ratio of each element to know the empirical formula. First we need to convert the mass to moles by using the molar mass of each element. The molar mass of S is 32 and O is 16 grams/mole. The moles of S and O given the mass is 0.03125 and 0.09375 moles, respectively. The compound would need 3 moles of O per S. the compound is SO3

Volume well in the picture the fish tank seems to be a rectangle, so you would do V=length x width x height. So V=5x3x3=45

hi:) anyone able to explain no.2 of what happens to particles of a solid that is heated until it melts? I don’t understand it. T
Viefleur [7K]
In a solid the particles are all really close together and stuck like that. As the solid melts and becomes a liquid the particles spread out. A solid won’t easily change its shape because the particles are bound together but in a liquid the shape is more fluid, take water when you pour it into a container it will change to fit the shape of a container this is because the particles aren’t as close and can move around. The particles of a solid change when it melts because it is changing states to a liquid.

4. Magnesium and oxygen undergo a chemical reaction to
erastovalidia [21]

Answer:

About 16.1 grams of oxygen gas.

Explanation:

The reaction between magnesium and oxygen can be described by the equation:
\displaystyle 2\text{Mg} + \text{O$_2$} \longrightarrow 2\text{MgO}

24.4 grams of Mg reacted with O₂ to produce 40.5 grams of MgO. We want to determine the mass of O₂ in the chemical change.

Compute using stoichiometry. From the equation, we know that two moles of MgO is produced from every one mole of O₂. Therefore, we can:

  1. Convert grams of MgO to moles of MgO.
  2. Moles of MgO to moles of O₂
  3. And moles of O₂ to grams of O₂.

The molecular weights of MgO and O₂ are 40.31 g/mol and 32.00 g/mol, respectively.

Dimensional analysis:

\displaystyle 40.5\text{ g MgO} \cdot \frac{1\text{ mol MgO}}{40.31\text{ g MgO}} \cdot \frac{1\text{ mol O$_2$}}{2\text{ mol MgO}} \cdot \frac{32.00\text{ g O$_2$}}{1\text{ mol O$_2$}} = 16.1\text{ g O$_2$}

In conclusion, about 16.1 grams of oxygen gas was reacted.

You will obtain the same result if you compute with the 24.4 grams of Mg instead:

\displaystyle 24.4\text{ g Mg}\cdot \frac{1\text{ mol Mg}}{24.31\text{ g Mg}} \cdot \frac{1\text{ mol O$_2$}}{1\text{ mol Mg}} \cdot \frac{32.00\text{ g O$_2$}}{1\text{ mol O$_2$}} = 16.1\text{ g O$_2$}
