Calculate the mass percentage of the sulfate ion in MgSO4.

Chemistry
1 answer:
andriy [413]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

The answer to your question is 80%

Explanation:

Data

mass percent of SO₄⁻²

molecule  MgSO₄

Process

1.- Calculate the molecular mass of magnesium nitrate

molecular mass = (1 x 24) + (1 x 32) + (4 x 16)

                           = 24 + 32 + 64

                           = 120 g

2.- Calculate the molecular mass of sulfate ion

molecular mass = (1 x 32) + (4 x 16)

                          = 32 + 64

                          = 96

3.- Write a proportion to solve this problem

                    120 g of MgSO₄ ---------------- 100 %

                      96 g of SO₄⁻²   ---------------  x

                      x = (96 x 100) / 120

                      x = 80 %

The molar mass of H2O is 18.01 g/mol. The molar mass of O2 is 32.00 g/mol. What mass of H2O, ins grams, must react to produce 50
Ivan

Answer:

56.28 g

Explanation:

First change the grams of oxygen to moles.

(50.00 g)/(32.00 g/mol) = 1.5625 mol O₂

You have to use stoichiometry for the next part.  Looking at the equation, you can see that for every 2 moles of H₂O, 1 mole of O₂ is produced.  Convert from moles of O₂ to moles of H₂O using this relation.

(1.5625 mol O₂) × (2 mol H₂O/1 mol O₂) = 3.125 mol H₂O

Now convert moles of H₂O to grams.

(3.125 mol) × (18.01 g/mol) = 56.28125 g

Convert to significant figures.

56.28125 ≈ 56.28

Consider the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide reaction. If the rate of decomposition of hydrogen peroxide at a particular temp
Natasha2012 [34]

Answer:

0.049 mol/L.s

Explanation:

The decomposition of hydrogen peroxide is:

H_2O_2 \to H_2O + \dfrac{1}{2}O_2

Rate = -\dfrac{\Delta [H_2O_2]}{\Delta t}= \dfrac{\Delta [H_2O_2]}{\Delta t}= \dfrac{ 2  \Delta [H_2O_2]}{\Delta t}

The rate of decomposition reaction = the rate of formation of H_2O = 0.098 mol/L.s

∴

Rate of formation of O_2 = \dfrac{ rate \ of \ reaction }{2}

= \dfrac{ 0.098 }{2}

= 0.049 mol/L.s
