1.386 g of Mg ribbon combusts to form 2.309 g of oxide product. The mass percent of oxygen in the oxide is 40.0 %.
Let's consider the reaction for the combustion of Mg.
Mg + 1/2 O₂ ⇒ MgO
1.386 g of Mg combusts to form 2.309 g of MgO. We want to determine the mass of oxygen in MgO. According to Lavoisier's law of conservation of mass, matter is not created nor destroyed over the course of a chemical reaction. Then, the mass of Mg in the reactants is equal to the mass of Mg in MgO. The mass of the magnesium oxide is the sum of the masses of magnesium and oxygen. The <u>mass of oxygen in the oxide</u> is:
We can calculate the mass percent of O in MgO using the following expression.

Answer:
In solid state all the atoms and molecules are held very closely together by strong attractive forces.
Explanation:
Solids have definite volume and shape.
In solids molecules are tightly pack and very close to each other.
Their melting and boiling point are every high.
The densities of solids are also very high as compared to the liquid and gas.
There are very strong inter molecular forces are present between solid molecules.
Consider the example of water. Which is present in three state solid, liquid and gas. In the form of ice its volume is less as compared to the liquid and gas, because molecules are tightly packed. If we melt the same ice we observe the volume is increase because molecules are now apart from each other. The distance between the molecules of water increased. If the same amount of water is evaporated the molecule of water will occupy all available space , and the distance between the water molecules get increased and inter molecular forces becomes negligible.
Answer: In polar covalent bonds a pair of electrons are unequally shared between two atoms, while in nonpolar covalent bonds two atoms share a pair of electrons with each other.
