Amixture of bases can sometimes be the active ingredient in antacid tablets. if 0.4884 g of a mixture of al(oh)3 and mg(oh)2 is neutralized with 17.12 ml of 1.000 m hno3, what is the mass % of al(oh)3 in the mixture?

54.7%

Explanation:

The reaction of neutralization will be:

Al(OH)₃ + Mg(OH)₂ + 5HNO₃ → Al(NO₃)₃ + Mg(NO₃)₂ + 5H₂O

The number of moles of HNO₃ added is the concentration multiplied by the volume (17.12 mL = 0.01712 L)

n = 1*0.01712 = 0.01712 mol

For the stoichiometry:

1 mol of Al(OH)₃   5 moles of HNO₃

x 0.01712 mol

By a simple direct three rule:

5x = 0.01712

x = 3.424x10⁻³ mol of Al(OH)₃

For the stoichiometry, the number of moles of Mg(OH)₂ will also be 3.424x10⁻³.

The molar masses are:

Al(OH)₃: 27 g/mol of Al + 3*16 g/mol of O + 3*1 g/mol of H = 78 g/mol

Mg(OH)₂: 24 g/mol of Mg + 2*16 g/mol of O + 2*1 g/mol of H = 58 g/mol

The mass is the molar mass multiplied by the number of moles:

Al(OH)₃: 78*3.424x10⁻³ = 0.2671 g

Mg(OH)₂: 58*3.424x10⁻³ = 0.1986 g

The mass % of Al(OH)₃ in the mixture is its mass divides by the mass of the mixture, multiplied by 100%:

(0.2671/0.4884)x100% = 54.7%

explanation:

let the different atoms be x and y. each with four protons and same mass will be represented as follows.

mass number is number of protons + number of neutrons.

            and  

since, it is given that one has a negative charge while the other is neutral. therefore, there will be increase in number of protons and the atom will be represented as follows.

according to periodic table, mass number of beryllium is 9 and it has atomic number 4 so, the atoms will be and .  

the protons and neutrons will be located inside the nucleus whereas the electrons will be revolving around the nucleus.
