Answer:
9.82 g of Mg(NO₃)₂
Explanation:
Let's determine the reaction:
2AgNO₃ + MgBr₂ → Mg(NO₃)₂ + 2AgBr
2 moles of nitrate silver reacts with MgBr₂ in order to produce 1 mol of magnesium nitrate and silver bromide.
We determine the moles of AgNO₃
22.5 g . 1mol / 169.87g = 0.132 moles
Ratio is 2:1.
2 moles of silver nitrate can produce 1 mol of magnesium nitrate
Then, our 0.132 moles may produce (0.132 . 1)/ 2 = 0.0662 moles
We convert moles to mass:
0.0662 mol . 148.3 g/ mol = 9.82 g
Since you know the ratio of atoms, you can start to put a formula togeter. The formula might look like:<span>
X<span>H2.67
</span></span>but since atoms can't come in fractional amounts, we have to multiply the formula by some number in order to turn 2.67 into a whole #, while still maintaining the ratio. Multiplying 2.67 by 3 yields 8, so the most likely ratio in the molecule is
X3H8<span>so the ratio of 1:2.67 is still maintained. The mass percent tells you that out of every 100g of compound, 91.26g is element X, so the other 8.74g must be H. Dividing each mass by the number of moles in the formula gets us the molar mass of each element (approximately). DIviding 8.74g by 8 gets 1.09, roughly the molar mass of hydrogen. Dividing 91.26g by 3 gets us 30.4, roughly the molar mass of phosphorus. Element X is most likely phosphorus</span>
<span>Which of the following is NOT true about "yield"? a. The value of the actual yield must be given in order for the percent yield to be calculated. b. The percent yield is the ratio of the actual yield to the theoretical yield. c. The actual yield may be different from the theoretical yield because reactions do not always go to completion. d. The actual yield may be different from the theoretical yield because insufficient limiting reagent was used.
The correct answer is:
</span><span> d. The actual yield may be different from the theoretical yield because insufficient limiting reagent was used.</span>
