If 0.66 g magnesium reacts exactly with 0.43 g oxygen, what mass of magnesium oxide will be produced?

Balanced equation for the reaction is;
2Mg + O₂ --> 2MgO
stoichiometry of Mg to O₂ is 2:1
we need to first find the limiting reactant 
number of Mg moles - 0.66 g / 23 g/mol = 0.029 mol
number of O₂ moles - 0.43 g / 32 g/mol = 0.013 mol
If Mg is the limiting reactant 
2 mol of Mg reacts with 1 mol of O₂
then 0.029 mol of Mg reacts with - 0.029/2 = 0.0145 mol 
but only 0.013 mol of O₂ is present
therefore O₂ is limiting reactant. amount of product formed depends on amount of limiting reactant present,
stoichiometry of O₂ to MgO is 1:2
when 0.013 mol of O₂ reacts - 0.026 mol of MgO is formed 
mass of MgO produced is - 0.026 mol x 39 g/mol = 1.014 g
1.014 g of MgO formed

<span>Photosynthesis is the process in plants to make their food. This involves the use carbon dioxide to react with water and make sugar or glucose as the main product and oxygen as a by-product. Since we are not given the mass of CO2 in this problem, we assume that we have 1 g of CO2 available. We calculate as follows:</span>

<span>1 g CO2 ( 1 mol CO2 / 44.01 g CO2 ) ( 12 mol H2O / 6 mol CO2 ) ( 18.02 g / 1 mol ) = 0.82 g of H2O is needed</span>

However, if the amount given of CO2 is not one gram, then you can simply change the starting value in the calculation and solve for the mass of water needed.

joja [24]

Answer:

magnesium metal melts = physical change

magnesium metal ignites = chemical change

Explanation:

<em>Physical changes</em> are those in which the identity of the subtance <u>remains unaltered</u>. No new compounds are formed. They involve generally changes in <u>agreggation states of matter</u>: solid, liquid or gas. The first experiment, in which magnesium metal melts is a physical change because it only changes the state of matter, from solid to liquid, but it is still magnesium metal.

Conversely, <em>chemical changes</em> involve atoms combinations to form new compounds. The second experiment, in which magnesium metal ignites, is a chemical change. After the change, magnesium metal is no longer the metal but a metal oxide.

Determine the class of the compound, which contains carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen, and exhibits the infrared spectrum below. poss
Talja [164]
I have attached an image of the IR spectrum required to answer this question.

Looking at the IR, we can look for any clear major stretches that stand out. Immediately, looking at the spectrum, we see an intense stretch at around 1700 cm⁻¹. A stretch at this frequency is due to the C=O stretch of a carbonyl. Therefore, we know our answer must contain a carbonyl, so it could still be a ketone, aldehyde, carboxylic, ester, acid chloride or amide. However, if we look in the 3000 range of the spectrum, we see some unique pair of peaks at 2900 and 2700. These two peaks are characteristic of the sp² C-H stretch of the aldehyde.

Therefore, we can already conclude that this spectrum is due to an aldehyde based on the carbonyl stretch and the accompanying sp² C-H stretch.
