The percent composition of this compound :

Mg = 72.182%

N = 27.818%

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

9.03 g Mg

3.48 g N

Required

The percent composition

Solution

Proust stated the Comparative Law that compounds are formed from elements with the same Mass Comparison so that the compound has a fixed composition of elements

Total mass of the compound :

= 9.03 g + 3.48 g

= 12.51 g

The percent composition :

Mg : 9.03/ 12.51 g x 100% = 72.182%

N : 3.48 / 12.51 g x 100% = 27.818%

How does the understanding of the structure of the atom help you see both unity and diversity in forms of matter?

gtnhenbr [62]

<span>How does understanding the structure of the atom help you see both unity and diversity in forms of matter?</span><span>

Understanding the structure of the atom helps to understand unity in matter because all matter is made up of those very similar atoms. Understanding the structure of the atom helps to understand diversity in matter because matter can be different (solid, liquid, gas, hard, soft, etc) and knowing the structure of the atom can explain these differences.

Hope This Helps! :3</span>

For each of the following compounds, state whether it is ionic or covalent, and if it is ionic, write the symbols for the ions i

kupik [55]

Answer :

Covalent compound : It is defined as the compound which is formed by the sharing of electrons between the atoms forming a compound.

The covalent compound are usually formed when two non-metals react.

Ionic compound : It is defined as the compound which is formed when electron gets transferred from one atom to another atom.

All the polyatomic ions always form an ionic compound.

Polyatomic ions : It is a charged species that composed of two or more atoms and these charged species are bonded by the covalent bond.

For the given options:

Option A: $KClO_4$

This compound is formed by the combination of potassium, $K^+$ which is a metal and $ClO_4^-$ ion which is a polyatomic ion. Thus, it will form an ionic compound.

Option B: $Mg(C_2H_3O_2)_2$

This compound is formed by the combination of magnesium, $Mg^{2+}$ which is a metal and $C_2H_3O_2^{-}$ ion which is a polyatomic ion. Thus, it will form an ionic compound.

Option C: $H_2S$

Hydrogen and sulfur, both are non-metals and they will form a covalent compound.

Option D: $Ag_2S$

This compound is formed by the combination of silver, $Ag^{+}$ which is a metal and sulfur, $S^{2-}$ which is a non-metal. Thus, it will form an ionic compound.

Option E: $N_2Cl_4$

Nitrogen and chlorine, both are non-metals and they will form a covalent compound.

Option F: $Co(NO_3)_2$

This compound is formed by the combination of cobalt, $Co^{2+}$ which is a metal and $NO_3^{-}$ ion which is a polyatomic ion. Thus, it will form an ionic compound.

What is the mass of 5.3 litres of carbon dioxide gas at STP

mylen [45]

Answer:

Explanation:

given volume =5.3 litres

as we know that 1 litre =1 dm3

therefore 5.3 litres =5.3 dm3

now moles =given mass /molar mass

so mass =moles*molar mass

in order to find mass of carbon we need to find moles

therefore moles=given volume/standard volume standard volume at STP is 22.4 dm3

moles= 5.3/22.4

moles=0.236=0.24

now mass of carbon dioxide =moles*molar mass

mass = 0.24*44

mass=10.56kg
