Answer:

58.0 g/mol

Explanation:

The reaction that takes place is:

  • MCl₂ + 2AgNO₃ → 2AgCl + M(NO₃)₂

First we <u>calculate how many moles of silver chloride</u> were produced, using its <em>molar mass</em>:

  • 6.41 g AgCl ÷ 143.32 g/mol = 0.0447 mol AgCl

Then we <u>convert AgCl moles into MCl₂ moles</u>, using the <em>stoichiometric ratio</em>:

  • 0.0447 mol AgCl * \frac{1molMCl_2}{2molAgCl} = 0.0224 mol MCl₂

Now we<u> calculate the molar mass of MCl₂</u>, using the original<em> mass of the sample</em>:

  • 2.86 g / 0.0224 mol = 127.68 g/mol

We can write the molar mass of MCl₂ as:

  • Molar Mass MCl₂ = Molar Mass of M + (Molar Mass of Cl)*2
  • 127.68 g/mol = Molar Mass of M + (35.45 g/mol)*2

Finally we<u> calculate the molar mass</u> of M:

  • Molar Mass of M = 57 g/mol

The closest option is 58.0 g/mol.

Does density of water depend on the amount of water present ?
Nitella [24]
<span>No, the denisty of any substance/liquid is always constant, no matter what the volume or mass is. Once the mass g/ volume mL is taken into consideration, the effect of the ammount of liquid given is canceled out. Thus, no matter what your sample is, the density of water will always be 1 g/mL</span>

A megamole of titanium contains __________ moles of titanium.
Gala2k [10]
Answer is: 1 megamole is equal to 1000000 (one million) mole or 10⁶<span> moles</span>.
The SI base unit for amount of substance is the mole. The SI prefix "mega" represents a factor of 10⁶, or in exponential notation, 1E6.
<span>The mole is the amount of substance of a system which contains as many elementary entities as there are atoms in 12 grams of carbon C-12.</span>

19) The nuclear symbol of helium,
Amiraneli [1.4K]

Answer:

Alpha particle

Explanation:

The helium symbol is also used to represent he alpha particles.

For example:

The americium with atomic wight  224 undergo alpha decay and produce

₉₃Np²³⁷ . The alpha particle emitted is also called helium nuclei. During this decay some gamma radiations also produce as a byproduct.

₉₅Am²²⁴   →    ₉₃Np²³⁷ + ₂He⁴

Properties of alpha radiation:

Alpha radiations are emitted as a result of radioactive decay. The atom emit the alpha particles consist of two proton and two neutrons. Which is also called helium nuclei. When atom undergoes the alpha emission the original atom convert into the atom having mass number 4 less than and atomic number 2 less than the starting atom.

Alpha radiations can travel in a short distance.

These radiations can not penetrate into the skin or clothes.

These radiations can be harmful for the human if these are inhaled.

These radiations can be stopped by a piece of paper.
