It would have to be 40.0 only because it wouldn’t add up
Answer:
9.82 g of Mg(NO₃)₂
Explanation:
Let's determine the reaction:
2AgNO₃ + MgBr₂ → Mg(NO₃)₂ + 2AgBr
2 moles of nitrate silver reacts with MgBr₂ in order to produce 1 mol of magnesium nitrate and silver bromide.
We determine the moles of AgNO₃
22.5 g . 1mol / 169.87g = 0.132 moles
Ratio is 2:1.
2 moles of silver nitrate can produce 1 mol of magnesium nitrate
Then, our 0.132 moles may produce (0.132 . 1)/ 2 = 0.0662 moles
We convert moles to mass:
0.0662 mol . 148.3 g/ mol = 9.82 g
Answer is: 0,275 moles of oxygen are consumed.
Chemical reaction: 2Mg + O₂ → 2MgO.
n(Mg) = 0,550 mol.
n(O₂) = ?
from chemical reaction: n(Mg) : n(O₂) = 2 : 1.
0,550 mol : n(O₂) = 2 : 1.
2n(O₂) = 0,550 mol.
n(O₂) = 0,275 mol.
n - amount of substance.
Answer:
D) How many valence electrons the atom contains.
This is the only closest one
because the number of electrons in the outermost shell is the correct answer
