Which of the following samples will have the same number of atoms as 40 g calcium?
Molar mass of Ca=M‘=40
Molar mass ofMg=M=24
Given mass of Ca=m‘=40g
Given mass of Mg=m=?
Formula: m=m‘×M/M‘
m=40×2440
m=24g
Three atoms of magnesium combine with 2 atoms of nitrogen. What will be the weight of magnesium which combines with 1.86 g of nitrogen?
In a compound of magnesium (Mg = 24) and nitrogen (N= 14 ), 18 g of magnesium combines with 7 g of nitrogen. Deduce the simplest formula by answering the following questions: (a) how many gram atoms of magnesium are equal to 18 g? (b) how many grams atoms of nitrogen equal to 7 g of nitrogen? (c) calculate simple ratio of gram atoms of magnesium to gram atoms of nitrogen and hence the simplest formula of the compound formed.
