Answer:

The answer to your question is  MgSO₄ 5H₂O

Explanation:

Data

mass of MgSO₄ = 2.86 g

mass of H₂O = 2.14 g (5 - 2.86)

Process

1.- Calculate the molecular mass of the compounds

MgSO₄ = 24 + 32 + (16 x 4) = 120

H₂O = 16 + 2 = 18

2.- Convert the grams obtain to moles

                        120 g of MgSO₄  --------------- 1 mol

                         2.8 g                  ----------------  x

                         x = (2.8 x 1)/120

                        x = 0.024 moles

                         18 g of H₂O --------------------- 1 mol

                         2.14 g           -------------------- x

                         x = (2.14 x 1)/18

                         x = 0.119

3.- Divide by the lowest number of moles

MgSO₄  = 0.024/0.024 = 1

H₂O = 0.119/ 0.024 = 5

4.- Write the molecular formula

                   MgSO₄5H₂O

The table shows the number of reactants and products present during two separate chemical reactions.
finlep [7]

Answer:

Chemical reaction B, because the product is a compound

Explanation:

A synthesis or combination reaction is that reaction that involves combination of two or more reactants to form a single product. The two or more reactants are often elements that chemically combine to form a single compound.

In this question, two chemical reactions are involved in which chemical reaction A has 1 reactants and 3 products while chemical reaction B has 2 reactants and 1 product. Based on the explanation above, the reaction B correctly identifies the synthesis reaction because the single product is a compound.

How many grams are there in 2.00 moles of copper (ii) oxide
tatuchka [14]

Answer: 159 grams

Explanation:

Copper (ii) oxide has the chemical formula CuO.

Now given that:

Mass of CuO in grams = ? (let unknown value be Z)

Number of moles = 2.00 moles

Molar mass of CuO = ?

For the molar mass of CuO: Atomic mass of Copper = 63.5g ; Oxygen = 16g

= 63.5g + 16g

= 79.5 g/mol

Apply the formula:

Number of molecules = (mass in grams/molar mass)

2.00 moles = (Z / 79.5 g/mol)

Z = 79.5 g/mol x 2.00 moles

Z = 159g

Thus, there are 159 grams in 2.00 moles of copper (ii) oxide
