Answer:

Explanation:

The law of conservation of mass states that mass is neither created nor destroyed during a chemical reaction. This can be gleaned from the third postulate in Dalton's series. Magnesium oxide decomposes into magnesium and oxygen. If 4.03 g of magnesium oxide decomposes to form 2.43 g of magnesium, what mass of oxygen gas is also released in the reaction

The word say magnesium oxide decomposes to magnesium and oxygen

the chemical symbols say

MgO-----------> Mg + O2  (since natural oxygen is diatomic)

the balanced  equation says

2MgO-------------->2Mg + O2

4.03 gm----------> 2.43 + ?0 gms

tour high school Algebra I class says

? = 4.03 -2.43 =1.60

your chemical analytcal lab says %mO in MgO = 16/40.3 = 39.7%

your calculator says

39.7/100 X 4.03 = 1.60

all of these prove the law of conservation of mass

Find the reagent to sythesize 1- phenyl-1-propanol
vova2212 [387]

Answer:

aqueous acid is used as a reagent.  

Explanation:

Addition of Grignard reagent in aldehyde and followed by the acidification give rise to the primary or secondary alcohol. when the formaldehyde is used than the primary alcohol is formed otherwise secondary alcohol is formed.

in this reaction we also use the aqueous acid for the acidification as a reagent. We add aqueous acid when ethanol is present. This is because ethanol is get converted in the presence of aqueous acid into the chloroethane.

The total pressure of gases a, b, and c in a closed container is 4.1 atm. if the mixture is 36% a, 42% b, and 22% c by volume, w
Natali [406]

 The  partial  pressure of  gas C  is 0.902  atm


  calculation

partial pressure of gas c  =[( percent by volume of  gas   C /  total  percent)   x total pressure]


percent  by  volume of gas C= 22%

Total   percent  = 36% +42%  + 22%  = 100 %

Total  pressure  =  4.1 atm


partial  pressure  of gas C  is therefore =  22/100 x 4.1 atm = 0.902  atm

The modern view of an electron orbital in an atom can best be described as
Roman55 [17]

Answer:

An orbital is a region in space where there is a high probability of finding an electron.

Explanation:

The orbital is a concept that developed in quantum mechanics. Recall that Neils Bohr postulated that the electron occupied stationary states which he called energy levels. Electrons emit radiation when the move from a higher to a lower energy level. Similarly, energy is absorbed by an electron to move from a lower to a higher orbit.

This idea was upturned by the Heisenberg uncertainty principle. This principle state that the momentum and position of a particle can not be simultaneously measured with precision.

Instead of defining a 'fixed position' for the electron, we define a region in space where there is a possibility of finding an electron with a certain amount of energy. This orbital is identified by a set of quantum numbers.
