Answer:

Mass ratio of magnesium =  2 : 1

Explanation:

Let us write down the masses of element involve to form the compounds .

Compound A → 7.88 g of mg and 15.68 g of 02

Compound B → 2.12 g of mg and 6.91 g of 02

since we want to get the mass ratio of magnesium, we divide the mass of mg with the other element present (oxygen) . we want to make both compound in equal proportions.

Compound A →  7.88 / 15.68  = 0.5025510204 g of Mg /1 g of Oxygen

Compound B  →  2.12 / 6.91  = 0.30680173661  g of Mg/ 1 g of Oxygen

Mass ratio of magnesium = compound A(Mg)/compound B(Mg)

Mass ratio of magnesium = 0.5025510204/0.30680173661  

Mass ratio of magnesium = 1.63803186368 /1

Mass ratio of magnesium =  2 : 1

The combustion of propane may be described by the chemical equation C 3 H 8 ( g ) + 5 O 2 ( g ) ⟶ 3 CO 2 ( g ) + 4 H 2 O ( g ) C
Kipish [7]

Answer: 72 grams of O_2(g) are needed to completely burn 19.7 g C_3H_8(g)

Explanation:

According to avogadro's law, 1 mole of every substance weighs equal to molecular mass and contains avogadro's number 6.023\times 10^{23} of particles.

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}

Putting in the values we get:

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{19.7g}{44g/mol}=0.45moles

C_3H_8(g)+5O_2(g)\rightarrow 3CO_2(g)+4H_2O(g)

According to stoichiometry:

1 mole of C_3H_8 requires 5 moles of oxygen

0.45 moles of C_3H_8 require= \frac{5}{1}\times 0.45=2.25 moles of oxygen

Mass of O_2=moles\times {\text {Molar mass}}=2.25\times 32=72g

72 grams of O_2(g) are needed to completely burn 19.7 g C_3H_8(g)
