How many atoms of fluorine are in 5.6×1022 molecules of MgF2?

VashaNatasha [74]

Answer:You can set up stoichiemetry using the following equation:

(15.6 g MgF2) x (38g F / 62g MgF2) x (6.022x10^23 / 19gF)

= 3.03 x 10^23 molecules of F

or 1.52 x 10^23 molecules of F2

The number of molecules of magnesium fluoride in 15.6 g of MgF2 has to be found.

The molecular mass of MgF2 is 62.3018. 15.6 g of MgF2 is equivalent to 15.6/62.3018 mole of MgF2.

One mole of a gas has 6.02214179*10^23 particles.

15.6/62.3018 mole of MgF2 has (15.6/62.3018)*6.02214179*10^23 molecules of the compound.

(15.6/62.3018)*6.02214179*10^23

=> 1.5079*20^23

If this is rounded to one decimal figure the result is 1.51*10^23.

The number of molecules of MgF2 in 15.6 g of the gas is 1.51*10^23.

Given the ion C2O4-2, what species would you expect to form with each of the following ions?

Ksivusya [100]

Answer:

A. K₂C₂O₄ Potassium oxalate

B. CuC₂O₄ Copper oxalate

C. Bi₂(C₂O₄)₃ Bismuth (III) oxalate

D. Pb(C₂O₄)₂ Lead (IV) oxalate

E. (NH₄)₂C₂O₄ Ammonium oxalate

F. HC₂O₄⁻ Acid oxalate

Explanation:

C₂O₄⁻² → oxalate anion

This is the conjugate base from the H₂C₂O₄ which is the oxalic acid. A weak dyprotic acid that can release 2 protons.

A. 2K⁺ + C₂O₄⁻² → K₂C₂O₄ Potassium oxalate

It can be formed by the neutralization of the acid with the base

H₂C₂O₄ + 2KOH → K₂C₂O₄ + 2H₂O

B. Cu²⁺ + C₂O₄⁻² ⇄ CuC₂O₄ ↓

This is a precipitate.

C. 2Bi³⁺ + 3C₂O₄⁻² ⇄ Bi₂(C₂O₄)₃ ↓

This is a precipitate.

D. Pb⁴⁺ + 2C₂O₄⁻² ⇄ Pb(C₂O₄)₂ ↓

This is a precipitate.

E. 2NH₄⁺ + C₂O₄⁻² ⇄ (NH₄)₂C₂O₄ ↓

This is a precipitate.

F. This is the conjugate strong base, for the weak acid

H⁺ + C₂O₄⁻² ⇄ HC₂O₄⁻

HC₂O₄⁻ + H₂O ⇄ C₂O₄⁻² + H₃O⁺ Ka

HC₂O₄⁻ + H₂O ⇄ H₂C₂O₄ + OH⁻ Kb

HC₂O₄⁻ is an amphoteric compound

How can you described the energy of a storm

lakkis [162]

Answer:

When the surface water is warm, the storm sucks up heat energy from the water, just like a straw sucks up a liquid. This creates moisture in the air. If wind conditions are right, the storm becomes a hurricane. This heat energy is the fuel for the storm.
