Answer:
357 g of the transition metal are present in 630 grams of the compound of the transition metal and iodine
Explanation:
In any sample of the compound, the percentage by mass of the transition metal is 56.7%. This means that for a 100 g sample of the compound, 56.7 g is the metal while the remaining mass, 43.3 g is iodine.
Given mass of sample compound = 630 g
Calculating the mass of iodine present involves multiplying the percentage by mass composition of the metal by the mass of the given sample;
56.7 % = 56.7/100 = 0.567
Mass of transition metal = 0.567 * 630 = 357.21 g
Therefore, the mass of the transition metal present in 630 g of the compound is approximately 357 g
Answer:K2X
Explanation: Valency can be defined as the combining power of an element. It is the valency that dictates the value an element will have when writing a chemical formula for its compound.
MgX is a compound of magnesium and an element X. The valency of magnesium in most of its compound is +2. Now for the 2 to have been absent in the chemical formula, this shows that the element X itself have a valency if -2 for the valencies of both to have canceled out.
Now considering the element potassium, it is an alkaline metal belonging to group 1 of the periodic table. Hence, it is expected that it has a valency of +1
Forming a compound with element X means there would be an exchange of valencies between the two. We have established that x has a valency of -2. The formula of the compound thus formed by exchanging the valencies of both element would be K2X
Answer:
Atoms are indivisible
I had a hard time finding this out.
Explanation: Dalton's atomic theory was the first complete attempt to describe all matter in terms of atoms and their properties. Dalton based his theory on the law of conservation of mass and the law of constant composition. The first part of his theory states that all matter is made of atoms, which are indivisible.
