Empirical formula of magnesium oxide

Chemistry

The empirical formula of Magnesium Oxide is MgO

In order to prove this you need to calculate how many moles of magnesium and how many moles of oxygen there are and how it all works  together. A very common example of proving it is using 0.297 g of magnesium and getting 0.493 g of the oxide after a reaction.

Mass of Mg = 0.297
Mass of MagnesiumOxide = Mass of Mg + Mass of O
0.493 g = <span> 0.297 g + Mass of O
Mass of O = (0.493 - 0.297)g = 0.196g

Moles of Mg = 0.297 g Mg x 1 mol Mg/24.3g Mg = 0.01222 mol Mg
Moles of O = 9.196 g O x 1 mol O/16g O = 0.01225 mol O

Now you divide both the numerator and the denominator by the smaller value and you'll see that the results is MgO</span>

Find ∆G for a cell whose potential is +0.24 V with 4 moles of electrons exchanged.
Setler [38]
We need to use the following formula
ΔG= -nF E_{cell}

E_{cell}= 0.24V
n= 4 moles
F= constant= 96500C/mol

let's plug in the values.

ΔG= -(4)(96500)(0.24)= -92640 J or -92.6 kJ

What net ionic equation describes the reaction between Pb(NO3)2(aq) and Na2CO3(aq)?
loris [4]

Answer:

Pb⁺²(aq) + CO₃⁻²(aq) →  PbCO₃ (s)

In net ionic equation we cancel the ions that have equal moles on both sides so  Na⁺¹ and NO₃⁻¹ have equal moles on both sides so we canceled them.

Explanation:

Net ionic equation:

In net ionic equation we only write the ions that are involved in reaction. If the system have same moles of ions in initial and final stages we cancel them as they have the same amount and are present in ionic form in the reaction medium. To formulate an ionic equation we just cancel the ions which have the same moles in initial and final stages.

Chemical equation:

Pb(NO₃)₂ (aq) + Na₂CO₃(aq) → PbCO₃ (s) + NaNO₃ (aq)

Balanced chemical equation:

In a balanced chemical equation we write the reactants and products in molecular form with number of moles.

Pb(NO₃)₂ (aq) + Na₂CO₃(aq) → PbCO₃ (s) + 2NaNO₃ (aq)

Ionic equation:

In ionic equation we write the equation in ionic form. It involves all the ions which will produce when we add any ionic compound in reaction medium.

Pb⁺² +2NO₃⁻¹ + CO₃⁻² + 2Na⁺¹  → PbCO3 (s) + 2NO₃⁻¹ (aq) + 2Na⁺¹ (aq)

Net ionic equation

In net ionic equation we cancel the ions that have equal moles on both sides. As we can see in the above ionic equation that Na⁺¹ and NO₃⁻¹ have equal moles on both sides so we canceled them.

Pb⁺²(aq) + CO₃⁻²(aq)  → PbCO₃ (s)

How kids today make slime and why each ingredient is used. What does each ingredient do and what happens if you change how much
Igoryamba

Answer:

Find the steps and explanation below.

Explanation:

A. Kids make slime following these basic steps;

1. In a bowl, is 1/4 cup of water is added to 1 oz. of glue. Add coloring if you wish to.

2. 1/4 cup of Borax solution, also known as Sodium Tetraborate is added to the mixture and gradually stirred.

3. The mixture is kneaded with the hands to ensure a smooth consistency.

4. Water remnants are discarded and the slime is stored in a plastic bag and kept in the fridge.

B.

What each ingredient does

Polyvinyl acetate present in the glue acts as a liquid polymer.

Borax binds the liquid polymers together.

Water eases the mixing process

C.

If lesser ingredients are used, the slime will not have its characteristic slimy nature. If excess of the ingredients are used, the slime becomes very sticky.
