Answer:

70.0 %

Explanation:

Step 1: Given data

  • Mass of nitrogen (mN): 74.66 g
  • Mass of the compound (mNxOy): 250 g

Step 2: Calculate the mass of oxygen (mO) in the compound

The mass of the compound is equal to the sum of the masses of the elements that form it.

mNxOy = mN + mO

mO = mNxOy - mN

mO = 250 g - 74.66 g = 175 g

Step 3: Determine the percent composition of oxygen in the sample

We will use the following expression.

%O = mO / mNxOy × 100%

%O = 175 g / 250 g × 100% = 70.0 %

<u>Chemistry</u>

<u>Atomic Structure</u>

  • Reading a Periodic Table
  • Using Dimensional Analysis
<h3>Explanation:</h3>

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

30 g SiO₂ (sand)

<u>Step 2: Identify Conversions</u>

Molar Mass of Si - 28.09 g/mol

Molar Mass of O - 16.00 g/mol

Molar Mass of SiO₂ - 28.09 + 2(16.00) = 60.09 g/mol

<u>Step 3: Convert</u>

  1. Set up:                                \displaystyle 30 \ g \ SiO_2(\frac{1 \ mol \ SiO_2}{60.09 \ g \ SiO_2})
  2. Multiply/Divide:                  \displaystyle 0.499251 \ mol \ SiO_2

<u>Step 4: Check</u>

<em>Follow sig figs and round. We are given 2 sig figs.</em>

0.499251 mol SiO₂ ≈ 0.50 mol SiO₂

Predict the formula of the ionic compound that would result from combining the monatomic ions formed by each pair of elements. M
skad [1K]

Answer:

E - Be and O

A - Mg and N

E - Li and Br

F - Ba and Cl

B - Rb and O

Explanation:

Be and O

Be is a metal that loses 2 e⁻ to form Be²⁺ and O is a nonmetal that gains 2 e⁻ to form O²⁻. For the ionic compound to be neutral, it must have the form BeO (E-MX).

Mg and N

Mg is a metal that loses 2 e⁻ to form Mg²⁺ and N is a nonmetal that gains 3 e⁻ to form O³⁻. For the ionic compound to be neutral, it must have the form Mg₃N₂ (A-M₃X₂).

Li and Br

Li is a metal that loses 1 e⁻ to form Li⁺ and Br is a nonmetal that gains 1 e⁻ to form Br⁻. For the ionic compound to be neutral, it must have the form LiBr (E-MX).

Ba and Cl

Ba is a metal that loses 2 e⁻ to form Ba²⁺ and Cl is a nonmetal that gains 1 e⁻ to form Cl⁻. For the ionic compound to be neutral, it must have the form BaCl₂ (F-MX₂).

Rb and O

Rb is a metal that loses 1 e⁻ to form Rb⁺ and O is a nonmetal that gains 2 e⁻ to form O²⁻. For the ionic compound to be neutral, it must have the form Rb₂O (B-M₂X).

Answer asap with at least 3 or more sentences!
mixas84 [53]

Answer:

no.

Explanation:

The reason this has

never happened is due to the source of magnetic fields:  moving electric

charges.  When electric charges (e.g. electrons) move in circles, they

produce a magnetic field.  In a piece of iron, it is very easy to line up

these circles, getting all the little magnets to work together as one big

magnet.

For each of these circles, one side is the north pole and one side is the

south pole.  Since each circle has two sides, each circle has a north and a

south pole.  Even the smallest possible magnets (spinning electrons) have a

north and a south pole.
