I just want the numbers it would take to balance it. Not the actual equation.
One way to analyze for the amount of phosphorus in a rock is to precipitate the phosphorus as
MgNH PO4, which is then heated to tum it into Mg,P2O7. What mass of Mg2P207 will be
obtained from a 2.102 g sample of a rock that contains 86.52% Ca3(PO4)2 (and no other source of
phosphorus) if this analysis is done? Hint: you will not be able to write an equation for this

- Balanced chemical equations relate reactants and products by what quantity?arrow_forwardMole is the term used to express the quantities of substances involved in a chemical reaction. Mole is defined as the amount of a substance that contains Avogadro's number of particles (atoms, ions, molecules, etc.). Avogadro's number is defined as the number of atoms present in 12 g of carbon-12 isotope, with a numerical value equal to 6.022 x 1023. The mole is a unit similar to a dozen; one dozen equivalent to 12 the same way that one mole is equivalent to 6.022 x 1023. You could use this information to write equalities: 12 molecules of H2O = 1 dozen of H2O 6.022 x 1023 molecules of H2O = 1 mol of H2O For example, if I had 18 molecules of water, I would have 18 molecules of water x dozen of water = 1.5 dozen of water 12 molecules of water Molar mass is the mass in grams of 1 mol of substance numerically equal to molecular weight in amu (atomic mass unit).

This problem will be solved via the following sequence of conversions: mass % mass → moles mole ratio → empirical formula. a) Step 1a: When percentages are given, assume that the total mass is 100 grams to determine the mass of each element in grams. (mass % = mass). Then, using the molar masses of each element, convert grams to moles (mass → moles). The unknown compound is 66.6% N by mass. What quantity in moles of nitrogen does a 100.0 gram sample of the unknown compound contain? b) The unknown compound is 28.6% C by mass. What quantity in moles of carbon does a 100.0 gram sample of the unknown compound contain? c) The unknown compound is 4.8% H by mass. What quantity in moles of hydrogen does a 100.0 gram sample of the unknown compound containarrow_forwardOne important factor in any chemical synthesis is the actual quantity of desired product obtained compared to the theoretical amount predicted on the basis of the stoichiometry of the reaction. The ratio of the mass of product obtained to the theoretical quantity, expressed as a percentage, is referred to as the "percent yield" or more simply the "yield". For example: if we react HCl with excess NaOH one of the products will be NaCl. If we assume that all of the Cl in HCl ends up as NaCl we know that each mole of HCl consumed should produce a mole of NaCl product. Suppose that in a particular reaction 11.7 grams of HCl (36.5 g/mol) react with excess NaOH and 17.5 grams of NaCl (58.5 g/mol) are isolated from the reaction mixture by crystallization. What is the percent yield of NaCl in the experiement?arrow_forward
- How can the coefficients in a chemical equation be interpreted? A balanced chemical equation can tell us the number of reactant and product particles (ions, atoms, molecules or formula units) that are necessary to conserve mass during a chemical reaction. Typically when we balance the chemical equation we think in terms of individual particles. However, in real life the reaction represented by an equation occurs an unimaginable number of times. Short of writing very large numbers (10 or larger) in front of each chemical in the equation, how can we interpret chemical equations so that they more realistically represent what is happening in real life? In this packet you will explore the different ways a chemical reaction can be interpreted.
