What is ratio by mass of magnesium and calcium obtained when the electrolysis of their respective chlorides are carried out in the molten state, if the number of moles of both the chlorides taken are same ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`{:(MgCl_(2) to Mg^(2+) + Cl^(-),, CaCl_(2) to Ca^(2+) + Cl^(-)),(Mg^(2+) + 2e^(-) to Mg,, Ca^(2+) + 2e^(-) to Ca):}`
Ratio of mass `=24 : 40 = 3 : 5`

Simplest or empirical formula: Ascorbie acid (vitamin C ) a white crystalline solid, that is present in fruits and vegetables, curves scury and may help prevent the common cold. It is composed of 40.92%C, 4.58% H , and 54.50% O by mass. Determine its emprical formula. Strategy: Because one mole of atoms of any given element is 6.022xx10^(23) atoms, the ratio of the numbers of atoms the ratio of the numbers of atoms in any sample fo a compound is the same as the ratio fo motes of atoms is that compound. Thus, the energy is to, find the relative number of moles of each element in the compound and then use the numbers to establish the mole ratio of the elements which in turn give the subsrips in the empral formula. This calculation si carried out as follow: Step 1: Becuase the sum of all the percentages is 100% it is conventient to solve this type of problem by considerinf exactly 100g of the substance, which means 100.00g of ascoric acid contains 40.92g of C, 4.58g of H , and 54.50g of O Next we need to calculate the number of moles of atoms of each element in the compound. Step 2: We then obtain teh simplest whole number ratio between these number that gives that ratio of atoms in the sample and hence, the simplest or empirical formula for the compound.

Calcium is a member of alkaline earth family (group 2 elements). Earths crust contains about 3.4 percent calcium. The main ores of calcium are lime stone, calcite or chalk (CaCO_(3)) , gypsum (CaSO_(4).2H_(2)O) and fluroite (CaF_(2)) . Metallic calcium is obtained by the electrolysis of molten calcium chloride.
