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!
The standard atomic weight is the average mass of an element in atomic mass units ("amu"). Though individual atoms always have an integer number of atomic mass units, the atomic mass on the periodic table is stated as a decimal number because it is an average of the various isotopes of an element.
My view point is that i disagree and that the rules are completely different
Step one calculate the moles of each element
that is moles= % composition/molar mass
molar mass of Ca = 40g/mol, S= 32 g/mol , O= 16 g/mol
moles of Ca = 29.4 /40g/mol=0.735 moles, S= 23.5/32 =0.734 moles, O= 47.1/16= 2.94 moles
calculate the mole ratio by dividing each mole with smallest mole that is 0.734
Ca= 0.735/0.734= 1, S= 0.734/0.734 =1, O = 2.94/ 0.734= 4
therefore the emipical formula = CaSO4
Answer:
Sodium ion ( Na+) is known to have no smell at all but however appears salty which is the reason why the compound Sodium Chloride has the same type of taste.
Hydrogen ions ( H+) are known to have no taste which implies it being tasteless. It is also important to note that it has no smell too when perceived (odorless).
