I know that this is not a homework forum, but I want to help a student who has difficulties, which I could not solve some, in this particular subject. It would be great if anyone can help.
Question: 3.9g of an element X reacts with oxygen gas to form 4.7g of an oxide X2O (X under-script O). The relative atomic mass(Ar) of X is_______?
Thank you once again.
The relative atomic mass of the element is 39 (it's potassium, FWIW).
3.9 g of X reacts with 0.8 g of oxygen (since 4.7 - 3.9 = 0.8)
Get rid of the decimal points by multiplying by 10 on each side.
This means that 39 g of X reacts with 8 g of oxygen.
Handily enough, the atomic mass of oxygen is 16, which is 8 x 2.
Therefore to react with 16 g (one mole) of oxygen, you need 78 g of X.
For every one mole of oxygen you're using two moles of X so one mole of X weighs 39 g.
The relative atomic mass of X is 39.
Wow, thank you so much EmpressFelicity!
You're very welcome
Perhaps I should dredge up all my old school and uni notes and write some chemistry hubs lol.
No.... Don't write Hubs on this!!
It's Far More Interesting Learning your equations in the forums!

If space has no oxygen, then how does the Sun burn?I know about nuclear fission, but could there really be a scientific explanation so perfect that it could eliminate all that we know about combustion and thusly remove the need of oxygen from a burning element?

-Please simplify and explain random relative mutation. How is/was mutation and selection random when it had/has to be relative? Does random mutation require faith? How is mutation random when something relative caused it to mutate? Is mutation independent?
