Answer:
Explanation:
Firstly, we have to determine the mass of metal X. We can do that by interpreting the first and second statement mathematically.
Metal X can form 2 oxides (A and B).
A + B = 3g
The mass of oxygen in A is 0.72g and the mass of oxygen in B is 1.16g.
The mass of metal X in the two oxides will be the same because it's the same metal.
Thus, we represent the mass of the metal in the two oxides as 2X.
2X + 0.72 + 1.16 = 3
2X + 1.88 = 3
2X = 3 - 1.88
2X = 1.12
X = 0.56
<u>Thus, 0.56 g of the metal combines with 0.72g of oxygen in A and 1.16 g of oxygen in B.</u>
Thus, mass of metal (X) in 1g of oxygen in A is
0.56g ⇒ 0.72g
X ⇒ 1
X = 1 × 0.56/0.72
X = 0.78 g
Hence, 0.78g of the metal will combine with 1g of oxygen for A
Also, mass of metal (X) in 1g of oxygen in B is
0.56g ⇒ 1.16g
X ⇒ 1g
X = 1×0.56/1.16
X = 0.48 g
Thus, 0.48g of the metal will combine with 1g of oxygen for B
Answer:
oxidation:Ti to Ti Reduction:O2 toO2
Explanation:
<em>oxidation loses electron while Reduction gains electron</em>
he total number of each of the atoms on the left and the right are the same thus the reaction equation is balanced.
<h3>What is the law of conservation of mass?</h3>
The law of conservation of mass states that, mass can neither be created nor destroyed. In view of the law of conservation of mass, the total mass of the reactants on the left-hand side must be the same as the total mass of products at the right hand side.
Thus is the total mass of the reactants and the products are not the same, it then follows that the reaction does not demonstrate the law of conservation of mass. In this case, the total number of each of the atoms on the left and the right are the same thus the reaction equation is balanced.
