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>

pentagon [3]
In the equation given above, there is conservation of MASS, CHARGE AND ENERGY.
These three parameters are usually conserved during the course of chemical reactions. When any of these parameter experience a reduction during the course of chemical reaction, such loss is always gained by other elements involved in the same reaction, so that at the end of the day, they are not considered as lost.

Calculate the pressure (in kpa) of 1.5 mole of helium gas at 354 k when it occupies a volume of 16.5l.
3241004551 [841]

Answer:

267.57 kPa

Explanation:

Ideal gas law:

PV = n RT        R = 8.314462    L-kPa/K-mol

P (16.5) = 1.5 (8.314462)(354)       P = 267.57 kPa

A student collects 350 mL of a vapor at a temperature of 67°C. The atmospheric pressure at the time of collection is 0.900 atm.
Fed [463]

Answer:

Explanation:

This problem is very similar to the other that you put before, so, we'll use the same principle here.

The ideal gas equation: PV = nRT

Where:

P: pressure in atm

V: volume in L

T: Temperature in K.

n: moles

R: Gas constant (In this case, we'll use 0.082 L atm/K)

to get the molar mass of the gas, we need to know the moles, and with the mass, we can know the molar mass. However we can put the ideal gas expression with the molar mass in this way:

we know that n is mole so:

n = g/MM

If we put this in the idea gases expression we have:

PV = gRT/MM

Solving for MM we have:

MM = gRT/PV

Now, let's convert the temperature and volume to K and L respectively:

T = 67 + 273 = 340 K

V = 350 / 1000 = 0.35 L

Now all we have to do is put all the data into the expression:

MM = 0.79 * 0.082 * 340 / 0.9 * 0.35

MM = 22.0252 / 0.315 = 69.92 g/mol rounded 70 g/mol

Now, the closest answer of your options would be 72 g/mol. This could be easily explained because we do not use all the significant figures of all numbers, including the gas constant of R. However, all the work, calculations and procedure is correct and fine, and we only have a minimum range of 2 units.
