Magnesium is obtained from sea water. Ca(OH)2 is added to sea water to precipitate Mg(OH)2. The precipitate is filtered and reac

ted with HCl to produce MgCl2. The MgCl2 is electrolyzed to produce Mg and Cl2. If 185 g of magnesium are recovered from 962 g of MgCl2, what is the percent yield for this reaction? Answer in units of percent

Answer is: <span>the percent yield for this reaction is 75,37%.
</span>m(MgCl₂) = 962 g.
n(MgCl₂) = m(MgCl₂) ÷ M(MgCl₂).
n(MgCl₂) = 962 g ÷ 95,21 g/mol.
m(MgCl₂) = 10,1 mol.
n(MgCl₂) : n(Mg) = 1 : 1.
n(Mg) = 10,1 mol.
m(Mg) = 10,1 mol · 24,3 g/mol.
m(Mg) = 245,43 g.
ω(Mg) = 185 g ÷ 245,43 g · 100% = 75,37%.

Answer:

The percentage yield of magnessium is 19.231 %

Explanation:

The magnesium from sea water is added to Ca(OH)2 to precipitate Mg(OH)2. This magnesium hydroxide is then reacted with HCl as follows ;

Mg(OH)2 + 2HCl → MgCl2 + 2H2O

molar mass of MgCl2 = 24.305 + 35.453 × 2 =  24. 305 + 70.906 = 95.211 g

The equation is balanced now . And 1 mole or 95.11 g of MgCl2 was produced . The magnesium chloride was electrolyzed   to produce Mg and Cl2.

The total mass of MgCl2 obtained = 962 grams

mass of the Mg obtained  = 185 grams

The percentage yield for the magnesium  = 185 / 962 × 100 = 18500/962

The percentage yield for the magnesium  = 185 / 962 × 100 = 19.231 %

The percentage yield of magnessium is 19.231 %

When 1.5 grams of magnesium burns, how many grams of magnesium oxide will be formed?
SashulF [63]
The balanced chemical reaction for this would be written as:

2Mg + O2 = 2MgO

We use this reaction and the amount of the reactant given to calculate for the amount of magnesium oxide that is produced. We do as follows:

1.5 g Mg (1 mol / 24.31 g) ( 2 mol MgO / 2 mol Mg ) (40.30 g /1 mol ) = 2.49 g MgO produced

A boy found a solid metal box in his backyard. The box had been buried for so long, it was difficult to determine from what the
Alex777 [14]

Answer:

Box is made up of <em>copper</em>, because density is <em>8.96  g/cm³.</em>

Explanation:

Given data:

Volume of box = 17.63 cm³

Mass of box = 158 g

Which metal box is this = ?

Solution:

First we will calculate the density of box then we will compare it with the density value of given metals.

d = m/v

d = 158 g/ 17.63 cm³

d = 8.96  g/cm³

The calculated density is similar to the given density value of copper thus box is made up of copper.

Sulfur dioxide is a main component of: photochemical smog, thermal inversion, industrial smog.
DedPeter [7]
The correct answer is industrial smog. This type of smog exists in coal power plants which creates smoke and sulfur dioxide which may mix with fog creating a thick blanket of haze. Sulfur dioxide is one primary component of an industrial smog.
