Aqueous magnesium chloride is not used to extract magnesium. Explain why.

1 answer:

4 0

Explanation: Magnesium chloride, MgCl2, dissolved in seawater, is an abundant, natural source of the very useful metal magnesium. Magnesium is a common component of alloys. Alloys are produced by combining a pure metal with one or more other elements to form a new substance with desirable properties. (Steel, for example, is a common alloy of iron and carbon.) Magnesium alloys are found in aircraft, automobiles, rockets, luggage frames, portable power tools, cameras, laptop computer casings and mobile phones.

Magnesium lends lightness and strength to alloys—a real plus for the owners of fuel-consuming vehicles, or travelers carting luggage. And magnesium alloy construction helps dampen the noise and vibration associated with the use of hand-held power tools, such as electric drills and nail-shooting guns.

Dumbledore decides to gives a surprise demonstration. He starts with a hydrate of Na2CO3 which has a mass of 4.31 g before heati

vovikov84 [41]

Answer:

Na₂CO₃.2H₂O

Explanation:

For the hydrated compound, let us denote is by Na₂CO₃.xH₂O

The unknown is the value of x which is the amount of water of crystallisation.

Given values:

Starting mass of hydrate i.e Na₂CO₃.xH₂O = 4.31g

Mass after heating (Na₂CO₃) = 3.22g

Mass of the water of crystallisation = (4.31-3.22)g = 1.09g

To determine the integer x, we find the number of moles of the anhydrous Na₂CO₃ and that of the water of crystallisation:

Number of moles = $\frac{mass }{molar mass }$

Molar mass of Na₂CO₃ =[(23x2) + 12 + (16x3)] = 106gmol⁻¹

Molar mass of H₂O = [(1x2) + (16)] = 18gmol⁻¹

Number of moles of Na₂CO₃ = $\frac{3.22}{106}$ = 0.03mole

Number of moles of H₂O = $\frac{1.09}{18}$ = 0.06mole

From the obtained number of moles:

Na₂CO₃ H₂O

0.03 0.06

Ratio 0.03/0.03 0.03/0.06

1 2

Therefore, x = 2

A sample of nitrogen gas is collected over water at temperature of 20.0˚C. What is the pressure of the nitrogen gas if atmospher

Levart [38]

Answer:

$P_N=0.987atm$

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, for these problems about collecting a gas over water, we must keep in mind that once the gas has been collected, the total pressure of the system is given by the atmospheric pressure, in this case 1.01 atm. Next, since we also have water in the mixture, we can write the following equation:

$P_T=P_w+P_N$
