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 %

There are many minerals which contain silver. A 2.00 g sample of one of these, stephanite, is placed in water and all of its sil
Nata [24]

Answer:

68.3%

Explanation:

First, let us look at the equation of reaction involving silver and magnesium chloride:

2Ag + MgCl2 ----> 2AgCl + Mg

1 mole of MgCl2 is required to precipitate 2 moles of Ag completely from the solution. That is a ratio of 1 to 2.

Now, mole of MgCl2 used to precipitate all the Ag

             = molarity x volume

                      = 2.19 M x 2.89/1000

                         = 0.0063291 mole

Since 1 mole of MgCl2 would always require 2 moles of Ag, 0.0063291 mole will therefore require:

      0.0063291 x 2 = 0.0126 mole of Ag

This means that 0.0126 mole of Ag is present in stephanie.

Mass of silver in stephanie = mole x molar mass

                              = 0.0126 x 107.8682

                                      = 1.365 g

Thus, 1.365 g of silver is present in 2.00 g sample of stephanie.

Mass percent of silver in stephanie = 1.365/2.00 x 100

                                         = 68.25% = 68.3% to the correct number of significant figure.

how can you make the gravitational force between two 50kg objects less than the gravitational force between two 5kg objects
Paraphin [41]

Explanation:

The gravitational force between two 50kg objects could be less than the gravitational force between a 50kg and a 5kg object if the two 50kg objects are much farther apart.
