Answer:

About 16.1 grams of oxygen gas.

Explanation:

The reaction between magnesium and oxygen can be described by the equation:
\displaystyle 2\text{Mg} + \text{O$_2$} \longrightarrow 2\text{MgO}

24.4 grams of Mg reacted with O₂ to produce 40.5 grams of MgO. We want to determine the mass of O₂ in the chemical change.

Compute using stoichiometry. From the equation, we know that two moles of MgO is produced from every one mole of O₂. Therefore, we can:

  1. Convert grams of MgO to moles of MgO.
  2. Moles of MgO to moles of O₂
  3. And moles of O₂ to grams of O₂.

The molecular weights of MgO and O₂ are 40.31 g/mol and 32.00 g/mol, respectively.

Dimensional analysis:

\displaystyle 40.5\text{ g MgO} \cdot \frac{1\text{ mol MgO}}{40.31\text{ g MgO}} \cdot \frac{1\text{ mol O$_2$}}{2\text{ mol MgO}} \cdot \frac{32.00\text{ g O$_2$}}{1\text{ mol O$_2$}} = 16.1\text{ g O$_2$}

In conclusion, about 16.1 grams of oxygen gas was reacted.

You will obtain the same result if you compute with the 24.4 grams of Mg instead:

\displaystyle 24.4\text{ g Mg}\cdot \frac{1\text{ mol Mg}}{24.31\text{ g Mg}} \cdot \frac{1\text{ mol O$_2$}}{1\text{ mol Mg}} \cdot \frac{32.00\text{ g O$_2$}}{1\text{ mol O$_2$}} = 16.1\text{ g O$_2$}

Barium acetate, Ba(C2H3O2)2, is a common barium salt that is highly poisonous. It was featured in a 2001 episode of Forensic Fil
aleksley [76]

Answer:

209.68

Explanation:

The only number that is relevant (though the rest are quite interesting) is the last one 1.98 * 10^24

1 mole of Barium Acetate Contains 6.02*10^23 particles.

There are 4 moles of carbon to every mole of Barium Acetate.

1.98 * 10^24 atoms / (4*6.02*10^23)

0.8223 moles of Ba(C2H3O2)2

Ba =                 137

4C = 4*12          48

6H = 6*1              6

4O = 4*16           64

1mole                 255 grams

0.8223 * 255 = 209.68 grams  

I have used rounded masses for these elements depending on the periodic table you use. Go through the question with your masses to get a more accurate answer. My answer will not differ by much. It is a guide.

How does the chemical structure of a paper towel differ from the potatoes?
ICE Princess25 [194]
When you pass around the side dishes at this year's Thanksgiving feast, here's one thing to be thankful for: you're eating mashed potatoes instead of mashed paper towels. But if you were chewing on the towels instead of the spuds, would you even know it.
