There are 31.1 grams (g) in 1 troy ounce (ozt). How many ozt of gold are extracted from 1 short ton of average Nevada ore

1 answer:

4 0

This problem is providing us with the mass equivalent to one troy ounce. Thus, the troy ounces of gold in one short ton of average Nevada ore is required and found to be the 0.103 otz according to the following dimensional analysis.

<h3>Dimensional analysis</h3>

In chemistry, a raft of problems do not always provide an equation in order to be solved yet dimensional analysis can be applied, so as to obtain the desired amount in the required units.

Thus, since this problem asks for try ounces in an average Nevada ore, which has 3.2 grams of gold per short ton of ore, one can solve the following setup in order to obtain the required answer in otz:

$\frac{3.2gAu}{1short-ton}*1short-ton*\frac{1otz}{31.1g} \\$

Where the short tons are cancelled out as well as the grams, in order to obtain:

$0.103 otz$

What is the molecular formula of an empirical N2H3 if n=2? <br><br>SHOW WORK!

aliya0001 [1]

A compound's empirical formula tells you what the smallest whole number ratio between the atoms that make up that compound is.

I think of the empirical formula as a building block for molecules. A compound's molecular formula will depend on how many building blocks are needed to build a molecule of a given substance.

In your example, you know that the empirical formula of the compound is

This tells you that the minimum ratio between nitrogen atoms and oxygen atoms is

. In other words, the molecular formula will be a multiple of this building block.

empirical formula

, where

- the number of building blocks needed to build the molecular formula.

You also know that the molar mass of your compound is

92 g/mol

This means that the molar mass of all the atoms that make up that molecule must add up to give

92 g/mol

So, how would you determine how many building blocks you need? Well, start by figuring out the molar mass of one building block, i.e. the molar mass of the empirical formula.

Since it contains one nitrogen atom and two oxygen atoms, you will get

14.0067 g/mol

15.9994 g/mol

46.0055 g/mol

So, if one building block has a molar mass of

46.0055 g/mol

, how many would you need to get the molecule?

This means that the compound's molecular formula, which lists all the atoms that make up a molecule, will be

Will the water level of the sea increase when there is global warming

alexdok [17]

Global warming will cause see levels to rise since a lot of water is stored in ice sheets which will melt. All of the melt water will end up in the ocean causing sea levels to rise.

I hope this helps. Let me know if anything is unclear.

Milk of magnesia has the chemical formula Mg(OH)2. What is the mass of 3.2 moles of milk of magnesia? The molar Mass of magnesiu

GenaCL600 [577]

To calculate the mass of milk of magnesia given, we need certain data like molar mass of the compound which needs the atomic mass of the atoms in the compound. We calculate as follows:

Molar mass of <span>Mg(OH)2 = 24.3 g/mol + (2 x (16 + 1.0)) = 58.30 g/mol

Mass = 3.2 mol (</span>58.30 g/mol) = 186.56 grams
