Magnesium hydroxide has the chemical formula Mg(OH)2 and the molecular weight of 58.3197 g/mol. Its CAS number is 1309-42-8 and its density is 2.345 g/cm3. It decomposes when heated to 360 °C and forms the oxide, MgO.

Determine the number of atoms in 41.0 grams of calcium, Ca. (The mass of one mole of calcium is 40.08 g.)

Dovator [93]

Hi there!

Let me know if you have questions about my answer:

6.15 × 10²⁴

Explanation:

To find the number of atoms, divide the mass of calcium (m) by its molar mass (MM). This will give you the number of moles of calcium (n).

$n = m/MM$ Start with a formula

$=\frac{41.0g}{40.08g/mol}$ Substitute values from the question

$= \frac{41.0g*1mol}{40.08g}$ Simplify

$= \frac{41.0mol}{40.08}$ Cancel out the units "g"

$= 1.022...mol$ Number of moles of calcium, with 4 significant figures

Then, multiply the number of moles of calcium (n) by Avogadro's number ( $N_{A}$ ) to find the number of calcium atoms.

$Number.of.Ca=n*N_{A}$ Start with a formula

$= 1.022mol*\frac{6.022*10^{23}Ca}{1mol}$ Substitute values from the question

$= \frac{1.022mol*6.022*10^{23}Ca}{1mol}$ Simplify

$= 1.022*(6.022*10^{23}Ca)$ Cancel out the units "mol"

$= 6.154*10^{24} Ca$ Multiply, leave one extra digit to help round. "4" tells you to round down.

$= 6.15*10^{24} Ca$ Final answer to 3 significant figures*

*When multiplying and dividing numbers, your final answer will have the same number of significant figures as the number with the least number of significant figures in the question.

40.08 has 4 significant figures. 41.0 has 3 significant figures. So, you want 3 significant figures in your final answer.

I hope this helps!

Balance the 2 chemical equation below: 1) _____H2 + _____02 ---> _____H20 2) _____CH4 + _____Cl2 ---> _____CCl4 + _____HCl

sergij07 [2.7K]

Answer:

1.) 2H2 + O2 ---> 2H2O

2.) CH4 + 4Cl2 ---> CCl4 + 4HCl

Explanation:

In order to balance the equation, you have to make sure there are the same amount of each element on both sides.

Ex (#1). By adding the coefficients infront of H2 and H20, You now have 4 hydrogen's and 2 oxygens on the left side as well as 4 hydrogens and 2 oxygens on the right side.

Sorry if that's confusing, but hope this helps! :)

For what reasons would modern scientists accept dalton's atomic theory but not the idea of an atom proposed by the greek philoso

soldi70 [24.7K]

Solution:

The idea of an atom proposed by the Greek philosophers because:

According to Greek Philosopher, matter is composed of small and indivisible particles called atoms. He introduced atoms as too small to be seen, unchangeable, completely solid without internal structure. He proposed that atoms are of variety of shapes and sizes which is responsible for different types of matter.

But according to Dalton’s atomic theory, chemical elements have atoms, which are identical in weight. The different elements have different atoms of different weight. Atoms can combine in whole-number ratios to form compounds. These observations are already introduced by Greek philosopher, but the idea of atomic weight is introduced by Dalton. He introduced the list of 21 elements with their atomic weights and, he was the first to propose the element’s symbol.

How many grams of oxygen can be obtained from 250. grams of KCIO3?

guapka [62]

Answer:

Keep it simple. If all the oxygen contained in the 200 grams of potassium chlorate is produced in the decomposition, then all we have to do is find out how many grams of oxygen are there in the 200 grams. This we can do by calculating the ratio of oxygen mass to the whole. Using 39.1 for potassium, 35.45 for chlorine and 3 times 16, or 48 for the oxygen, we get a total of 122.55 grams per mole for potassium chlorate, of which 48 grams are oxygen. This ratio is 48/122.55. This ratio times the original 200 grams of the compound, gives us 78.34 grams of oxygen produced.
