Molar mass:
O2 = 16 x 2 = 32.0 g/mol Mg = 24 g/mol
<span>2 Mg(s) + O2(g) --->2 MgO(s)
</span>
2 x 24.0 g Mg -------------> 32 g O2
5.00 g Mg -----------------> ( mass of O2)
mass of O2 = 5.00 x 32 / 2 x 24.0
mass of O2 = 160 / 48
= 3.33 g of O2
hope this helps!
Answer:
can you please be more clear on your question
Answer:
Since the gravitational potential energy of an object is directly proportional to its height above the zero position, a doubling of the height will result in a doubling of the gravitational potential energy. A tripling of the height will result in a tripling of the gravitational potential energy.
Answer: the best option to answer the question is the second one (letter B).
Explanation:
The question requires us to choose, among the options given, which one best corresponds to the correct form of disposal fo high-level nuclear waste.
High-level nuclear waste corresponds mainly to highly radioactive materials produced as byproducts of reactions that occur inside nuclear reactors. When they are not of use anymore, they are disposed in underground repositories, without any recycling. The place of disposal of this type of nuclear waste is usually placed in cannister which are placed underground and sealed with rocks. Since the time of decay of high-level nuclear waste can reach hundreds of thousands of years, this type of waste must be disposed of in a way that provides adequate protection for a long time.
Considering the information above, we can say that the best option to answer the question is the second one (letter B).
C) ![\text{LiBr}_{3}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Ctext%7BLiBr%7D_%7B3%7D)
Explanations
Approach A: Comparison of the bonding atoms
What element(s) does each species comprise?
- carbon monoxide- one metalloid, carbon, bonded to one nonmetal
- oxygen- one nonmetal
- lithium bromide- one metal and one nonmetal
- ammonia- two nonmetals
Lithium bromide
is the only substance that features a metal element bonded to a nonmetal element among all four species in the list. It takes significant differences in electronegativity for the bonding atoms in a binary compound to ionize and form an ionic compound. Therefore the species in question shall contain at least one metal element bonded to one nonmetal.
Approach B: Comparison of melting points
Recall the physical state of the species under room temperature and pressure:
- carbon monoxide- gas
- oxygen- gas
- lithium bromide- ?
- ammonia- gas
Ionic bonds hold ions in an ionic compound in place with great degrees of rigidity. In contrast, covalent molecules adhere to each other with intermolecular interactions that are weaker by magnitudes. It's unlikely for ionic crystals to behave as gases under standard conditions. Thus A, B, D cannot be ionic compounds.
