Answer:
One of the errors for low percentage of magnesium could be because not all the magnesium may have reacted.
Explanation:
During the heating process, if the magnesium have not reacted completely, it can lead to low percentage of magnesium in the oxide formed. The product may still look a bit greyish rather than whitish after the heating process.
Answer:
% composition O = 19.9%
% composition Cu = 80.1%
Explanation:
Given data:
Total mass of compound = 3.12 g
Mass of copper = 2.50 g
Mass of oxygen = 3.12 - 2.50 = 0.62 g
% composition = ?
Solution:
Formula:
<em>% composition = ( mass of element/ total mass)×100</em>
% composition Cu = (2.50 g / 3.12 g)×100
% composition Cu = 0.80 ×100
% composition Cu = 80.1%
For oxygen:
<em>% composition = ( mass of element/ total mass)×100</em>
% composition O = (0.62 g / 3.12 g)×100
% composition O = 0.199 ×100
% composition O = 19.9%
Answer:
A - NaCl is a product
D - Cl2 is a gas
Explanation:
Based on the chemical reaction;
2Na(s) + Cl2(g) → 2NaCl2
- Sodium metal reacts with chlorine gas to form sodium chloride. Sodium is in solid state, chlorine is in gaseous state and Sodium chloride is in solid state.
- In the chemical reaction, sodium and chlorine are reactants while sodium chloride is the product.
- Additionally the chemical reaction above is balanced so as to obey the law of conservation of mass.
The correct option is FLUORINE AND COPPER.
An ionic compound is usually formed by the combination of a metal and a non metal, the metal usually act as an electron donor while the non metal act as an electron acceptor. Thus, in ionic compounds, there is total transfer of electrons from the metal to the non metal. In the question given here, copper is the metal while the fluorine is the non metal.<span />
