Show your work and include answer with units. How many atoms in 55 grams of magnesium

Chemistry
1 answer:
Georgia [21]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

1.38 x 10^{24} atoms

Explanation:

To get grams to atoms/molecules/particles we need to first convert grams > moles > atoms. This also applies in the other direction, where you have moles as that stepping stone.

Some key information we need:

Magnesium's molar mass= 24g/mol

Avogadro's Number= 6.022 x 10^{23} atoms

Where there is 1 mol per 6.022 x 10^{23}  atoms

*This maybe be something you want to memorize.

Grams to moles using molar mass , then to atoms using avogadro's number.

55g Mg x \frac{1 mol}{24g/mol} x \frac{6.022 x 10^{23} atoms }{1 mol} = 1.38 x 10^{24} atoms

How much volume would 0.450 mol CO2 gas occupy?
umka21 [38]

Answer:

10.08 L.

Explanation:

  • If we assume that CO₂ gas behaves ideally at STP (standard T(0.0 °C) and P(1.0 atm)):

<em>It is known that 1.0 mole of ideal gas occupies 22.4 L at STP conditions.</em>

<em></em>

<u><em>Using cross multiplication:</em></u>

1.0 mole of CO₂ gas occupies → 22.4 L.

0.45 mole of CO₂ gas occupies → ??? L.

<em>∴ The volume occupied by 0.45 mole of CO₂ gas </em>= (0.45 mol)(22.4 L)/(1.0 mol) = <em>10.08 L.</em>

In the reaction Mg(s) + 2H2O(l) --&gt; Mg(OH)2(s) + H2(g), what is the oxidation state of each H in H2(g)? A. +2 and –2 B. –1 an
chubhunter [2.5K]
The oxidation state of the atoms of any molecule in the element state equals zero. H2 is is the element state, therefore the oxidation state of the whole molecule equals zero and the oxidation states of the atoms also equals zero. Answer letter D is the correct answer. 
Magnesium has an oxidation state = zero before it undergoes the reaction and is oxidized. The oxidations state of the magnesium in Mg(OH)2 is +2.

What do blizzards consist of? (Select all that apply)
Maru [420]

Answer:

Heavy Snowfall

High Winds

Extremely Low Temperatures

Reasoning:

Lots of snow, kinda self explanatory

high winds are needed to carry the snow that fast

its has to be below freezing for snow to even form

A gas balloon has a volume of 80.0 mL at 300K, and a pressure of 50.0 kPa. If the pressure changes to 80 kPa and the temperature
fomenos

Answer:  The new volume is 53.3 ml

Explanation:

The combined gas equation is,

\frac{P_1V_1}{T_1}=\frac{P_2V_2}{T_2}

where,

P_1 = initial pressure of gas =  50.0 kPa

P_2 = final pressure of gas = 80.0 kPa

V_1 = initial volume of gas = 80.0 ml

V_2 = final volume of gas = ?

T_1 = initial temperature of gas = 300K

T_2 = final temperature of gas = 320K

Now put all the given values in the above equation, we get:

\frac{50.0\times 80.0}{300}=\frac{80.0\times V_2}{320}

V_2=53.3ml

The new volume is 53.3 ml

Which models of the atom in task 1 are not supported by the results of the hydrogen gas experiment? For each of these models, ex
kramer

Answer:

Thomson  placed two magnets on either side of the tube, and observed that this magnetic field also deflected the cathode ray. The results of these experiments helped Thomson determine the mass-to-charge ratio of the cathode ray particles, which led to a fascinating discovery, minus the mass of each particle was much, much smaller than that of any known atom. Thomson repeated his experiments using different metals as electrode materials, and found that the properties of the cathode ray remained constant no matter what cathode material they originated from. From this evidence, Thomson made the following conclusions:

The cathode ray is composed of negatively-charged particles.

The particles must exist as part of the atom, since the mass of each particle is only ~1/2000 the mass of a hydrogen atom.

These subatomic particles can be found within atoms of all elements.

While controversial at first, Thomson's discoveries were gradually accepted by scientists. Eventually, his cathode ray particles were given a more familiar name: electrons. The discovery of the electron disproved the part of Dalton's atomic theory that assumed atoms were indivisible. In order to account for the existence of the electrons, an entirely new atomic model was needed.
