Answer from: JayceMeyers06

The mass of MgO formed is 3.502 grams and mass of Mg_3N_2 formed is 1.587 grams.

Explanation:

We are given:

Total mass of magnesium reacted = 3.26 g

Total mass of products formed = 5.09 g

To calculate number of moles of a substance, we use the equation:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$ .....(1)

For calculating mass of MgO:

The chemical equation for the formation of magnesium oxide follows:

$2Mg+O_2\rightarrow 2MgO$

Let 'x' grams of magnesium is reacting to form magnesium oxide.

Molar mass of Magnesium = 24.3 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

Number of moles of magnesium = $\frac{x}{24.3}mol$

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

2 moles of magnesium produces 2 moles of MgO

So, $\frac{x}{24.3}$ moles of magnesium will produce $\frac{2}{2}\times \frac{x}{24.3}=\frac{x}{24.3}$ moles of MgO

Molar mass of MgO = 40.3 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

Mass of MgO = $\frac{x}{24.3}\times 40.3=(1.66\times x)g$

Mass of magnesium oxide = $(1.66\times x)g$ = X grams

For calculating mass of Mg_3N_2

The chemical equation for the formation of magnesium nitride follows:

$3Mg+N_2\rightarrow Mg_3N_2$

Mass of magnesium reacting = (3.26 - x)

Molar mass of Magnesium = 24.3 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

Number of moles of magnesium = $\frac{(3.26-x)}{24.3}mol$

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

3 moles of magnesium produces 1 moles of Mg_3N_2

So, $\frac{(3.26-x)}{24.3}$ moles of magnesium will produce $\frac{1}{3}\times \frac{(3.26-x)}{24.3}=\frac{(3.26-x)}{72.9}$ moles of Mg_3N_2

Molar mass of Mg_3N_2 = 101 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

Mass of $Mg_3N_2=\frac{(3.26-x)}{72.9}\times 101=[(3.26-x)\times 1.38]g$

Mass of magnesium nitride = $[(3.26-x)\times 1.38]g$ = Y grams

Calculating the mass of products:

Total mass of the products = 5.09 grams

X+Y=5.09

Putting values of 'X' and 'Y' in above equation, we get:

$(1.66\times x)+[(3.26-x)\times 1.38]=5.09\\\\x=2.11g$

Mass of MgO = $(1.66\times 2.11)=3.502g$

Mass of $Mg_3N_2=[(3.26-2.11)\times 1.38]=1.587g$

Hence, the mass of MgO formed is 3.502 grams and mass of Mg_3N_2 formed is 1.587 grams.

Answer from: Quest

explanation:

let the different atoms be x and y. each with four protons and same mass will be represented as follows.

mass number is number of protons + number of neutrons.

$^{m}_{4}x$ and $^{m}_4y$

since, it is given that one has a negative charge while the other is neutral. therefore, there will be increase in number of protons and the atom will be represented as follows.

$^{m}_{5}x^{-}$

according to periodic table, mass number of beryllium is 9 and it has atomic number 4 so, the atoms will be $^{9}_{5}be^{-}$ and $^{9}_{4}be$ .

the protons and neutrons will be located inside the nucleus whereas the electrons will be revolving around the nucleus.

How do temperature and salinity affect deepwater currents? as temperatures and salinity levels of water increase, the water rises to the surface where it creates currents as it moves to colder regions. they create changes in wind direction, moving denser water in the same direction as the wind and causing the deepwater circulation patterns found in the ocean. they equalize the forces on undersea currents caused by the coriolis effect as they replace more dense water with less dense water. they create density differences that cause dense deepwater currents to flow toward the equator where they displace less dense, warmer water above them.
