Answer:
D. (16.0 g + 16.0 g) × 100% / (32.1 g + 16.0 g + 16.0 g) = 49.9%
Explanation:
Step 1: Detemine the mass of O in SO₂
There are 2 atoms of O in 1 molecule of SO₂. Then,
m(O) = 2 × 16.0 g = 16.0 g + 16.0 g = 32.0 g
Step 2: Determine the mass of SO₂
m(SO₂) = 1 × mS + 2 × mO = 1 × 32.1 g + 2 × 16.0 g = 32.1 g + 16.0 g + 16.0 g = 64.1 g
Step 3: Detemine the mass percent of oxygen in SO₂
We will use the following expression.
m(O)/m(SO₂) × 100%
(16.0 g + 16.0 g) × 100% / (32.1 g + 16.0 g + 16.0 g) = 49.9%
Answer:
39.7 %
Explanation:
magnesium + oxygen ⟶ magnesium oxide
10.57 g 6.96 g 17.53 g
According to the <em>Law of Conservation of Mass</em>, the mass of the product must equal the total mass of the reactants.
Mass of MgO = 10.57 + 6.96
Mass of MgO = 17.53 g
The formula for mass percent is
% by mass = Mass of component/Total mass × 100 %
In this case,
% O = mass of O/mass of MgO × 100 %
Mass of O = 6.96 g
Mass of MgO = 17.53 g
% O = 6.96/17.53 × 100
% O = 0.3970 × 100
% O = 39.7 %
Answer:
13.7 moles of O₂ are needed
Explanation:
In order to find the moles of reactants that may react to make the products we need to determine the reaction:
Reactants are hydrogen and oxygen
Product: Water
2 moles of hydrogen can react to 1 mol of oxygen and produce 2 moles of water.
Balanced reaction: 2H₂(g) + O₂(g) → 2H₂O(l)
If 2 moles of hydrogen need 1 mol of oxygen to react
Therefore, 27.4 moles of H₂ must need (27.4 .1) / 2 = 13.7 moles of O₂
