i got it 24.35 and in the periodic tabel it is 24.3 , i think choosing the closest one would be best
and thus the ans would have been 24.1 as  it it is the closest to 24.35, see the examinaer REPORT, somtinh would be mentioned there
lol I checked the website.... And the answer is 24.8...Definitely a mistake... :) Its none of the above Vin :P

hw cn it be 24.8, we have to calculate the ans from data provide and not frmthe website

using the dat

i get atomic mass of Mg to be= 1900/78

no mistake in MS

dude am talking abt the answer on the website is 24.8..I know its 24.35..Check my working above..
I meant there is a mistake on the website answers thts all  ;D

ammonium nitrate NH4NO3, can decompose explosively when heated.

NH4NO3 ----------------> N2O + 2H2O

what are the changes in the oxidation num of the two N atoms in NH4NO3 when this reaction proceeds?

1. -2, -4
2. +2, +6
3. +4, -6
4. +4, -4

1. -2, -4
2. +2, +6
3. +4, -6
4. +4, -4
Do it stepwise...
-Oxidation number of N in NH4+ is -3 because 4H have oxidation number of +4 ANd the overall charge is 1+...
-Oxidation Number of N in NO3- is +5 because 3O have oxidation number of -6 And the overall charge is 1-....
-Oxidation number of N in N20 is +1 because O has an oxidation number of -2 And the overall charge is 0...
So from -3 to +1 is +4 and from +5 to +1 is -4..Therefore the answer is D... :)

THANKEW!!  ;D

0.200 mol of a hydrocarbon undergo complete combustion to give 35.2g of carbon dioxide and 14.4g of water as the only products. what is the molecular formula of the hydrocarbon?
1. C2H4
2. C2H6
3. C4H4
4. C4H8

for this we get a ratio of 1:2
but there are two options of 1:2 haydrocarbons

1:4 ratio...
N of Co2 = 35.2/44 = 0.8
N of H20 = 14.4/18 = 0.8
So ratio of CxHy:CO2:H2O
                  1   :   4  :  4
So there are 4 C and 8 H and 12O so  the Hydrocarbon iS C4H8...

18 A solid nitrate fertiliser reacts with an alkali to produce a gas which turns damp pH paper blue.

What is the empirical formula of this fertiliser?

A NO3 B NHO3 C NH2O D N2H4O3


D. How and why? :/

Ammonium salts + alkalis -----> ammonia gas...
So its NH4NO3 which has the molecular formule N2H4O3...

i am sorry to say but if the ratio is 1:4 then it will be C4H16
