Please, What is the mass of oxygen in 72.0g of water? [ H= 1.0; O = 16.0]

1 answer:

5 0

Convert 72g of water into moles of water using molecular weights.

So water is H2O so add up those molecular weights (H=1 and O=16)

2(1)+(16) = 18 g/mol

Then convert so 72g / (18 g/mol) = 4 mol

Now you can convert mol of water to mol of oxygen. So 4 mol of water is 4 mol of oxygen. Then use oxygen molecular weight to find grams again.

4 mol oxygen * 16 g/mol = 64g of oxygen

If we were doing hydrogen instead of oxygen there would be 8 mol hydrogen in 4 mol of water (2 H’s in every H2O molecule) and since we have 74 grams and oxygen is 64 grams, Hydrogen should be 8 grams. Math to check below

8 mol hydrogen * 1 g/mol = 8g of hydrogen

It all adds to 72 so we are correct.

Classify..use the periodic table to classify the elements potassium, bromine a d argon according to how likely their atoms lose

iren2701 [21]

Answer:

Classification will be Potassium, Bromine, and Argon

Explanation:

Potassium is more likely to lose electrons and form positive ion
Bromine actually gain electrons and forms negative ion
Argon does not lose or gain electrons

Sodium chloride can be produced by the reaction of sodium metal with chlorine gas. Which is the limiting reactant if 6.70 moles

Alecsey [184]

Answer:

Chlorine gas.

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, the undergoing chemical reaction is:

$2Na+Cl_2\rightarrow 2NaCl$

Thus, given the moles of reacting both sodium and chlorine, we compute the moles of sodium chloride yielded by each reactant by considering the 2:2 and 1:2 mole ratios:

$n_{NaCl}^{by\ Na}=6.70molNa*\frac{2molNaCl}{2molNa}=6.70molNaCl \\\\n_{NaCl}^{by\ Cl_2}=3.20molCl_2*\frac{2molNaCl}{1molCl_2}=6.40molNaCl$
