Answer: a) The density of the jewelry will be
b) The element is silver.
Explanation:
Density is defined as the mass contained per unit volume.
Given : Mass of jewelry = 132.6 grams
Volume of jewelry = volume of water displaced =
Putting in the values we get:
Thus density of the jewelry will be
As density is characteristic of a particular material , the material must be silver which has a density of 10.5 g/ml.
Answer:
0.44g
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Mass of magnesium hydroxide = 0.645g
Solution
The balanced reaction equation is shown below:
Mg(OH)₂ → MgO + H₂O
From the equation above, we see that the number of atoms are conserved.
To find the mass of magnesium oxide produced, we find the number moles of the decomposed magnesium hydroxide first:
Molar mass of Mg(OH)₂ = 24 + 2(16+1) = 58g/mol
Number of moles of Mg(OH)₂ =
=
= 0.011mole
Now, from the balanced equaiton, we know that:
1 mole of Mg(OH)₂ produces 1 mole of MgO
Therefore, 0.011mole of Mg(OH)₂ will produce 0.011mole of MgO
so mass of MgO = number of moles of MgO x molar mass of MgO
Molar mass of MgO = 24 + 16 = 40g/mol
mass of MgO = 0.011 x 40 = 0.44g
