Since the compound is 72.2% Mg then there would be 27.8% N. Then you can just change it to 72.2 g Mg and 27.8 g N.
then convert to moles by dividing by molecular mass.
72.2÷24.31=2.96 moles Mg
27.8÷14.01=1.98 moles N
then divided by the lowest number.
2.96÷1.98=1.5
Since it is 1.5 you multiply by 2. so you have 3 Mg
1.98÷1.98=1 N
so the empirical formula is Mg3N

Which type of change is represented?
pentagon [3]
The correct answer is A. The image shows a nuclear fission. This takes place in any of the heavy nuclei after capture of a neutron. This is the opposite of nuclear fusion. In this case, nuclei are broken down into two.

how many grams of calcium sulfate are produced from 10 grams of calcium nitrate and how many grams of calcium sulfate are produc
AlekseyPX

Answer:  8.30 g of calcium sulfate are produced from 10 grams of lithium sulfate.

Explanation:

To calculate the moles :

\text{Moles of solute}=\frac{\text{given mass}}{\text{Molar Mass}}    

\text{Moles of} Ca(NO_3)_2=\frac{10g}{164g/mol}=0.061moles

\text{Moles of} Li_2SO_4=\frac{10g}{110g/mol}=0.091moles

Ca(NO_3)_2+Li_2SO_4\rightarrow 2LiNO_3+CaSO_4  

According to stoichiometry :

1 mole of Ca(NO_3)_2 require = 1 mole of Li_2SO_4

Thus 0.061 moles of Ca(NO_3)_2 will require=\frac{1}{1}\times 0.061=0.061moles  of Li_2SO_4

Thus Ca(NO_3)_2 is the limiting reagent as it limits the formation of product and Li_2SO_4 is the excess reagent.

As 1 mole of Ca(NO_3)_2 give = 1 mole of CaSO_4

Thus 0.061 moles of Ca(NO_3)_2 give =\frac{1}{1}\times 0.061=0.061moles  of CaSO_4

Mass of CaSO_4=moles\times {\text {Molar mass}}=0.061moles\times 136g/mol=8.30g

Thus 8.30 g of calcium sulfate are produced from 10 grams of lithium sulfate.

What is the main difference between electron configuration and orbital notation?
8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

Orbital Notation is more specific on where exactly the electron is placed.

Explanation:

When writing an electron configuration for an atom, rather than writing out the occupation of each and every orbital specifically, you instead lump all the core electrons together and designate it with a symbol of the corresponding noble gas on the Periodic Table.

the arrangement of electrons in the orbitals of an atom or molecule

While Orbital Notation is a visual transformation of the electron configuration. It shows you where each specific electron is placed and what its "spin" is.

Glad I could help!

Net ionic equation for Calcium hydroxide reacting with ammonium Chloride?
VMariaS [17]

Answer:

Ca(OH)₂ (aq) + 2NH₄Cl (aq) → CaCl₂ (aq) + 2NH₃ (g) + 2H₂O (l)

Ca²⁺ + 2OH⁻ + 2NH₄⁺ + 2Cl⁻ → Ca⁺² + 2Cl⁻ + 2NH₃ (g) + 2H₂O (l)

2OH⁻ + 2NH₄⁺ → 2NH₃ (g) + 2H₂O (l)

What kind of intermolecular forces act between a hydrogen cyanide (HCN) molecule and a carbon monoxide molecule?
Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:

Dispersion forces

Dipole-Dipole interaction

Explanation:

The London dispersion force refers to the temporary attractive force that acts between the electrons in two adjacent atoms when the atoms develop temporary dipoles. Dispersion forces act between any two molecules even when other intermolecular forces are in operation as long as the molecules are in close proximity to each other.

Now, CO is polar and the HCN is also polar molecule. Hence, dipole - dipole interaction forces  are also in operation and acts between the two molecules in close proximity to each other.
