Answer:
40%
Explanation:
We'll begin by obtaining the molar mass of MgO. This is illustrated below:
Molar Mass of MgO = 24 + 16 = 40g/mol
Observing the formula MgO, we have 1 atom of O in it.
The percentage composition by mass of oxygen in MgO is given by:
Mass of O/Molar Mass of MgO x 100
= 16/40 x 100 = 40%
Answer:
<em>What can be added to an atom to cause a nonvalence electron in the atom to temporarily become a valence electron </em>is<u><em> energy</em></u><em>.</em>
Explanation:
The normal state of the atoms, where all the electrons are occupying the lowest possible energy level, is called ground state.
The <em>valence electrons</em> are the electrons that occupy the outermost shell, this is the electrons in the highest main energy level (principal quantum number) of the atom.
So, a <em>nonvalence electron</em> occupies an orbital with less energy than what a valence electron does; in consequence, in order to a nonvalence electron jump from its lower energy level to the higher energy level of a valence electron, the former has to absorb (gain) energy.
This new state is called excited state and is temporary: the electron promoted to the higher energy level will emit the excess energy, in the form of light (photons), to come back to the lower energy level and so the atom return to the ground state.
the mass of oxy gas would be 4.03 did i calculate that right?
Vapor pressure is **directly** related to the temperature of the liquid!! :)
