Answer:

After the reaction, there will 0.60 g of magnesium oxide and 0.25 g of oxygen gas present in the tube

Explanation:

Equation of the reaction between magnesium and oxygen is given as follows:

2Mg(s) + O₂(g) ---> 2MgO(s)

From the equation of reaction, 2 moles of magnesium reacts with i mole of oxygen gas to produce 1 mole of magnesium oxide

molar mass of magnesium is 24.0 g; molar mass of oxygen gas = 32.0 g; molar mass of magnesium oxide = 40.0 g

Therefore 24 g of magnesium reacts with 32 g of oxygen gas

I.00 g of magnesium will react with (24.0 / 32.0) * 1.00 g of oxygen = 0.75 g of oxygen gas.

Therefore, magnesium is the limiting reagent. Once it is used up, the reaction will stop and the excess oxygen will be left in the tube together with the product, magnesium oxide.

mass of excess oxygen = 1.00 - 0.75 = 0.25 g

mass of magnesium oxide formed = (24.0 / 40.0 g) * 1 = 0.60 g

Classify the following changes as physical or chemical changes. a. Water boils. b. Salt dissolves in water c. Milk turns sour d.
geniusboy [140]

Answer:

Water boils - physical change

Salt dissolves in water- chemical change

Milk turns sour- chemical change

metal rusts - chemical change

Explanation:

A chemical change refers to changes that are irreversible and the process involves the evolution of heat along with the formation of a new substance, examples include;Salt dissolves in water, Milk turns sour, metal rusts etc

The boiling of water is a physical change. The water can be cooled and the vapour condensed,hence, the boiling of water is a physical change.

Physical changes are easily reversible and no new substance is formed.

Calculate the relative formula/atomic mass of each of the following compounds:
zmey [24]
1. HCl (H:1, Cl 35.5) ---> 1+35.5 = 36.5
2. FeS (Fe:56, S:32) ---> 56+32 = 88
3. Cl2 (Cl:35.5) ---> 35.5 x 2 = 71
4. CaC03 (Ca:40, C: 12, O: 16) ---> 40 + 12 + 3(16) = 100
5. Fe0 (Fe: 56, O: 16) ---> 56+16=72
