A compound XO exists in nature. A scientist wanted to prepare the same compound in his lab based on the law of constant proportion but the formula of the compound that he prepared was found to be XO2. Which postulates of the law of constant proportion did he violate?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The postulate that all pure samples of a particular chemical compound contain the same elements  combined in the same proportion by mass.

Explanation:

The law of constant composition (or definite proportion) states that all pure samples of a particular chemical compound contain the same elements  combined in the same proportion by mass.

This law implies that irrespective of the source of the sample of the compound or the method by which the sample was prepared, as long as the sample is pure, the elements present in the compound are always combined in a specific ratio by mass. For example, water has the molecular formula H₂O. Irrespective of the water source, for example, tap-water, lake, stream, river or rainfall, each pure sample of water will have the constant composition of 2 atoms of hydrogen to one atom of oxygen.

The given compound exists as XO in nature. Therefore, irrespective of the source or method of preparation, every sample of this compound should have the formula XO. Since the compound prepared by the scientist was XO₂, therefore, the postulate that all pure samples of a particular chemical compound contain the same elements  combined in the same proportion by mass was violated by the scientist. The scientist must have prepared a different compound of the elemental compositions.

Answer:

Explanation:

The reaction expression is given as:

           ⁴⁰₁₈ Ar   →   X  +  ⁰₁B  

To solve this problem, we must bear in mind that both mass number and atomic number must be conserved.

 So;

For the mass number:

               40  = A + 0

                 A  = 40

For atomic number:

                 18  = Z + 1

                  Z = 18 - 1  = 17

An atom is identifiable by the atomic number. Since the atomic number of X is 17 then it is Cl, chlorine

The compound MnO2 could either have a +4 or a +2 oxidation state on the manganese (Mn) atom. Explain how either scenario could occur.

Answers

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

Manganese is a transition element. All transition elements have incompletely filled d orbitals which ultimately makes them to exhibit a variable oxidation state.

Manganese has electronic configuration of [Ar]4s23d5. This means that two electrons could be lost from the s orbital to yield Mn^2+. Also, two electrons could be lost from both s and d orbitals to yield Mn^4+

How does the number of tin atoms in the sample compare to the number of aluminum atoms in a 20 gram sample of each (Sn:Al)

Answers

The number of Al atoms is greater than the number of Sn atoms

Further explanation

Given

20 gram sample of Tin and Aluminum

Required

Number of atoms

Solution

1 mol = 6.02 x 10²³ particles (atoms, molecules, ions)

So the number of atoms of each element is determined by the number of moles. The greater the number of moles the greater the number of atoms

moles Sn-Tin(Ar = 118,71 u)

mol = mass : Ar

mol = 20 : 118,71 u

mol = 0.168

moles of Al-Aluminum(Ar=26.9815 u)

mol = 20 : 26.9815 u

mol = 0.741

So the number of Al atoms > number of Sn atoms

Answer:

C. It received genes that are exactly the same as the parent's genes

In asexual reproduction in hydra,offspring has no genetic variation from the parent because it received genes that are exactly the same as the parent's genes.

What is asexual reproduction?

Asexual reproduction is a type of reproduction where the offsprings are  not produced by the combination of genetic material of two individuals which are of different sexes rather they are produced by a single parent.

It is the  not the dominant form of reproduction in living beings.Here, the offsprings are identical to their parents as there is no recombination of genetic material.It is observed in both unicellular or multicellular organisms.

There is no fertilization or gamete formation taking place.Types of asexual reproduction include budding, binary fission,fragmentation,etc.

Answers

Answer:

Oxygen receives two electrons from magnesium.

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, considering the chemical reaction by which magnesium oxide is produced:

[tex]2Mg+O_2\rightarrow 2MgO[/tex]

In that case, if we show up the oxidation states, we have:

[tex]2Mg^0+O_2\rightarrow 2Mg^{2+}O^{2-}[/tex]

In such a way, since metals, like magnesium, have the capacity to lose electrons, rather than receive them, we infer why it turns out with +2 rather than -2; thus, we the correct answer is "oxygen receives two electrons from magnesium." because it results with -2 in MgO.

Best regards!

Oxygen receives two electrons from magnesium.
