First, we need to determine the half reaction of magnesium. It would be expressed as:
Mg2+ + 2e- = Mg
Given the mass of magnesium metal that is produced, we calculate the total charge of the electrolysis by the relations we can get from the half reaction. We do as follows:
4.50 kg Mg ( 1000 g / 1 kg ) ( 1 mol / 24.305 g ) ( 2 mol e- / 1 mol Mg ) ( 96500 C / 1 mol e- ) = 35733388.2 C
We are given the applied EMF in units of V. This value is equal to J/C. So, 5 V is equal to 5 J/C.
35733388.2 C (5 J/C) = 178666941 J
178666941 J ( 1 kW-h / 3.6x10^6 J ) = 49.63 kW-h
13.5g
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Mass of Na = 10g
Mass of O₂ = 10g
Unknown:
Mass of products formed = ?
Balanced equation = ?
Solution:
The balanced chemical equation is shown below:
4Na + O₂ ⇒ 2Na₂O
In any reaction, the specie in short supply determines the extent of the reaction.
This reaction is not an exclusion. We need to first determine the specie in short supply and use it to estimate the amount of product since we have a 100% yield which signifies that all was used up.
let us convert to moles;
Number of moles of Na =
= 0.435mole
Number of moles of O₂ =
= 0.313mole
From the given equation;
4 moles of Na requires 1 mole of O₂;
0.435 moles of Na will require
= 0.11 moles
But the given amount O₂ is 0.313, this is an excess of 0.313 - 0.11 = 0.203moles
We see that Na is the limiting reagent;
4 moles of Na gives 2 mole of Na₂O
0.435 moles of Na will give
= 0.22 moles
Mass of Na₂O = number of moles x molar mass = 62 x 0.22 = 13.5g

Answer:
Mass is lost due to the conversion of mass to energy
Explanation:
The question is not complete, the complete question is given as:
⇒ 
total mass equals 236.053 u total mass equals 235.868 u
Which statement explains the energy term in this reaction? (1) Mass is gained due to the conversion of mass to energy. (2) Mass is gained due to the conversion of energy to mass. (3) Mass is lost due to the conversion of mass to energy. (4) Mass is lost due to the conversion of energy to mass.
Answer: From Einstein’s equation E = mc², when a radioisotope element undergoes fission or fusion in a nuclear reaction, it loses a tiny amount of mass.This mass lost is converted to energy.
The law of conservation of energy holds for this type of reaction (i.e the sum of mass and energy is remains the same in a nuclear reaction). Mass changes to energy, but the total amount of mass and energy combined remains the same before and after a nuclear reaction.
From the reaction above, the total decrease in mass = 236.053 - 235.868 = 0.185 u
Atomic mass. Which is the number of protons and neutrons combined.
