2) Calculate the percent composition of each element in Mgso,

Chemistry
1 answer:
iogann1982 [59]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

2)

\% Mg=20.2\%\\\\\% S=26.6\%\\\\\% O=53.2\%

3)

\% Ag=93.1\%\\\\\% O=6.9\%

Explanation:

Hello!

2) In this case, since magnesium sulfate is MgSO₄, we can see how magnesium weights 24.305 g/mol, sulfur 32.06 g/mol and oxygen 64.00 g/mol as there is one atom of magnesium as well as sulfur but four oxygen atoms for a total of g/mol; thus the percent compositions are:

\% Mg=\frac{24.305}{120.36 } *100\%=20.2\%\\\\\% S=\frac{32.06}{120.36 } *100\%=26.6\%\\\\\% O=\frac{64.00}{120.36 } *100\%=53.2\%

3) In this case, although the element seems to contain Ag and O, we infer its molecular formula is Ag₂O; thus, since we have two silver atoms weighing 215.74 g/mol and one oxygen atom weighing 16.00 g/mol for a total of 231.74 g/mol, we obtain the following percent compositions:

\% Ag=\frac{215.74}{231.74} *100\%=93.1\%\\\\\% O=\frac{16.00}{231.74} *100\%=6.9\%

Best regards!

Cesium has a radius of 272 pm and crystallizes in a body-centered cubic structure. What is the edge length of the unit cell
olchik [2.2K]

Answer: Edge length of the unit cell = 628pm

Explanation: For a body centred cubic structured system, the relationship between the edge length of the unit cell and radius of the atoms in the structure is

Edge length of Unit cell (a) = (4R)/(√3)

R = 272pm = (272 × (10^-12))m = (2.72 × (10^-10))m

a = (4 × (2.72 × (10^-10)))/(√3)

a = (6.28157 × (10^-10))m = 628pm

What substance is oxidized in the reaction Mg + Cu2+ — Mg2+ + Cu?
alexgriva [62]

Answer:

Mg

Explanation:

Mg + Cu2+ — Mg2+ + Cu

Magnesium is oxidized because its oxidation state increased from 0 to +2 while Cu is reduced because its oxidation state decreased from +2 to 0.

Oxidation:

Oxidation involve the removal of electrons and oxidation state of atom of an element is increased.

Reduction:

Reduction involve the gain of electron and oxidation number is decreased.

<em>Consider the following reactions. </em>

4KI + 2CuCl₂  →   2CuI  + I₂  + 4KCl

the oxidation state of copper is changed from +2 to +1 so copper get reduced.

CO + H₂O   →  CO₂ + H₂

the oxidation state of carbon is +2 on reactant  side and on product side it becomes  +4 so carbon get oxidized.

Na₂CO₃ + H₃PO₄  →  Na₂HPO₄ + CO₂ + H₂O

The oxidation state of carbon on reactant side is +4. while on product side is  also +4 so it neither oxidized nor reduced.

H₂S + 2NaOH → Na₂S + 2H₂O

The oxidation sate of sulfur is -2 on reactant side and in product side it is also -2 so it neither oxidized nor reduced.

Oxidizing agents:

Oxidizing agents oxidize the other elements and itself gets reduced.

Reducing agents:

Reducing agents reduced the other element are it self gets oxidized.
