A salt contains only magnesium and one of the halide ions. A 0.0776-g sample of the salt was dissolved in water, and an excess o

f sulfuric acid was added to form magnesium sulfate (MgSO4), which was filtered, dried, and weighed. Its mass was found to be 0.150 g. What is the formula of the magnesium halide

Answer:

The formula of the magnesium halide is MgF₂

Explanation:

All halides, X, produce a salt with Mg with the formula:

MgX₂

<em>-There are 2 moles of the halide ion per mole of Mg-</em>

<em />

With the mass of the MgSO₄ we can find moles of magnesium sulfate  = Moles Mg.

With moles of Mg we can know the moles of the halide -1 mole Mg = 2 moles of Halide-

And we can find the mass of Mg in the 0.0776g sample. Subtracting we can find the mass of the halide and, with the mass and moles of the halide we can find its molecular weight and its identity:

<em>Moles MgSO₄ -Molar mass: 120.366g/mol- = Moles Mg:</em>

0.150g * (1mol / 120.366g) = 1.2462x10⁻³ moles Mg

<em>Moles halide:</em>

1.2462x10⁻³ moles Mg * 2 = <em>2.4924x10⁻³ moles Halide</em>

<em>Mass Mg -Molar mass: 24.305g/mol:</em>

1.2462x10⁻³ moles Mg * (24.305g / mol) = 0.0303g Mg

<em>Mass halide:</em>

0.0776g - 0.0303g Mg = <em>0.0473g</em>

<em>Molecular weight of the halide:</em>

0.0473g / 2.4924x10⁻³ moles =

18.98g/mol

This molecular weight is the molecular weight of Fluoride ion, F⁻,

<h3>The formula of the magnesium halide is MgF₂</h3>

Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer: False

Explanation:

4C2H6 + 7O2 --> 6H2O + 4CO2

8 Carbons on the reactant side, but 4 Carbons on the Product

24 Hydrogens on Reactant, 12 H on product

But Oxygen is balanced, 14 on each side

Consider the reaction given below.
Drupady [299]

Answer:

  • <u>K =  0.167 s⁻¹</u>

Explanation:

<u>1) Rate law, at a given temperature:</u>

  • Since all the data are obtained at the same temperature, the equilibrium constant is the same.

  • Since only reactants A and B participate in the reaction, you assume that the form of the rate law is:

        r = K [A]ᵃ [B]ᵇ

<u>2) Use the data from the table</u>

  • Since the first and second set of data have the same concentration of the reactant A, you can use them to find the exponent b:

        r₁ = (1.50)ᵃ (1.50)ᵇ = 2.50 × 10⁻¹ M/s

        r₂ = (1.50)ᵃ (2.50)ᵇ = 2.50 × 10⁻¹ M/s

         Divide r₂ by r₁:     [ 2.50 / 1.50] ᵇ = 1 ⇒ b = 0

  • Use the first and second set of data to find the exponent a:

        r₁ = (1.50)ᵃ (1.50)ᵇ = 2.50 × 10⁻¹ M/s

        r₃ = (3.00)ᵃ (1.50)ᵇ = 5.00 × 10⁻¹ M/s

        Divide r₃ by r₂: [3.00 / 1.50]ᵃ = [5.00 / 2.50]

                                  2ᵃ = 2 ⇒ a = 1

         

<u>3) Write the rate law</u>

  • r = K [A]¹ [B]⁰ = K[A]

This means, that the rate is independent of reactant B and is of first order respect reactant A.

<u>4) Use any set of data to find K</u>

With the first set of data

  • r = K (1.50 M) = 2.50 × 10⁻¹ M/s ⇒ K = 0.250 M/s / 1.50 M = 0.167 s⁻¹

Result: the rate constant is K =  0.167 s⁻¹
