Answer:

CeO₂

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, since we are given the mass of both cerium and the cerium oxide, we can first compute the moles of cerium and the moles of oxygen as shown below:

n_{Ce}=4.2gCe*\frac{1molCe}{140.12gCe}=0.03molCe\\

m_O=5.16g-4.2g=0.96gO\\\\n_O=0.96g*\frac{1molO}{16.0gO} =0.06molO

Now, we simply divide each moles by 0.03 as the fewest moles in the formula to obtain the simplest formula (empirical formula) of this oxide:

Ce=\frac{0.03}{0.03}=1\\\\O =\frac{0.06}{0.03}=2

Thus, the formula turns out:

CeO_2

Regards!

Let’s assume that you put a balloon into the freezer. Initially,the balloon had 3.0liters of gas at a pressure of 400kPa and was
EastWind [94]
Here, we should use combined gas law which can be derived from combined gas law, “PV=nRT”. Rearranging, we can get PV/T=nR. Then we can set the two states in the problem together to get

P1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2

Then just plug in and solve algebraically.

Hope this helps

What is the relationship between the concentration and the rate of the reaction?
zalisa [80]

Answer:

When the concentration of all the reactants increases, more molecules or ions interact to form new compounds, and the rate of reaction increases. When the concentration of a reactant decreases, there are fewer of that molecule or ion present, and the rate of reaction decreases.

Someone please help me and answer my question asap. i need to turn my assignment in soon... please.
Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer:

Explanation:

a. the salt produced would be Mg3N2(magnesium nitride)

b. magnesium loses 2 electron to form Mg2+ ion and nitrogen gains 3 electron to form n3-

when several of these ions come together 3 Mg2+ ion combine with 2 n3- ion to form Mg3N2 thus Mg getting six electron from nitrogen to form a ionic bond.

c. the reaction is not balanced Mg + N2 = Mg3n2

to make it balanced the reaction should be 3 Mg + N2 = Mg3N2.

the reaction was not balanced before because the number of Mg on both side of the reaction was not equal.

d. magnesium nitrate has formula Mg(NO3)2 is formed when Mg combines with nitrogen and oxygen Mg + N2 + o2
