Answer: 0.5 mole Mg
Explanation: solution:
12 g Mg x 1 mole Mg / 24 g Mg
= 0.5 mole Mg
To determine the mass of the sample, first find the volume difference after and before the aluminum was placed, the volume change is equal to the volume of the submerged object, in this case aluminum.
Then knowing volume of aluminum and the density of it, we can solve for the mass.
D = m/v
Dv = m
2.7 g/ml • 8 ml = 21.6 grams.
The solution would be like
this for this specific problem:
<span>Moles of carbon = 58.8 /
12 = 4.9 </span><span>
<span>Moles of hydrogen = 9.8 / 1 = 9.8 </span>
<span>Moles of oxugen = 31.4 / 16 m= 1.96 </span>
<span>Ratio 4.9 / 1.96 = 2.5 9.8 / 1.96 = 5.0 1.96 / 1.96 = 1 </span></span>
Simplest
formula = C5H10<span>
