Explanation:

Cr=35.880/51=0.73≈0.7

P=21.076/31=0.67≈0.7

O=43.543/16=2.71

Divide each by 0.7 u get

Cr=1 ,P =1, O=4

Empirical formula is CrPO4

How many liters of hydrogen gas will be produced at STP from the reaction of 7.179×10^23 atoms of magnesium with 54.219g of phos
Alexeev081 [22]

Answer: The volume of hydrogen gas produced will be, 12.4 L

Explanation : Given,

Mass of H_3PO_4 = 54.219 g

Number of atoms of Mg = 7.179\times 10^{23}

Molar mass of H_3PO_4 = 98 g/mol

First we have to calculate the moles of H_3PO_4 and Mg.

\text{Moles of }H_3PO_4=\frac{\text{Given mass }H_3PO_4}{\text{Molar mass }H_3PO_4}

\text{Moles of }H_3PO_4=\frac{54.219g}{98g/mol}=0.553mol

and,

\text{Moles of }Mg=\frac{7.179\times 10^{23}}{6.022\times 10^{23}}=1.19mol

Now we have to calculate the limiting and excess reagent.

The balanced chemical equation is:

3Mg+2H_3PO_4\rightarrow Mg(PO_4)_2+3H_2

From the balanced reaction we conclude that

As, 3 mole of Mg react with 2 mole of H_3PO_4

So, 0.553 moles of Mg react with \frac{2}{3}\times 0.553=0.369 moles of H_3PO_4

From this we conclude that, H_3PO_4 is an excess reagent because the given moles are greater than the required moles and Mg is a limiting reagent and it limits the formation of product.

Now we have to calculate the moles of H_2

From the reaction, we conclude that

As, 3 mole of Mg react to give 3 mole of H_2

So, 0.553 mole of Mg react to give 0.553 mole of H_2

Now we have to calculate the volume of H_2  gas at STP.

As we know that, 1 mole of substance occupies 22.4 L volume of gas.

As, 1 mole of hydrogen gas occupies 22.4 L volume of hydrogen gas

So, 0.553 mole of hydrogen gas occupies 0.553\times 22.4=12.4L volume of hydrogen gas

Therefore, the volume of hydrogen gas produced will be, 12.4 L

6 How many moles are in a 321 g sample of magnesium?
Tatiana [17]

Answer:

13.4mol of Mg

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of magnesium = 321g

Unknown:

Number of moles  = ?

Solution:

The number of moles of a substance is given as;

  Number of moles  = \frac{mass}{molar mass}  

 Molar mass of Mg = 24g/mol

 Insert the parameters and solve;

        Number of moles  = \frac{321}{24}   = 13.4mol of Mg

Explain, in terms of particles, why liquid<br> iodine does not conduct electricity.
drek231 [11]

Answer:

Because iodine is a liquid, it has no melting point. Iodine is not an electrical conductor because each molecule consists of two iodine atoms connected by a covalent bond that cannot be stimulated sufficiently to transmit electrical energy.
