Stoichiometry: How much magnesium oxide, in grams, is produced from the reaction of 2 grams of magnesium?

Chemistry
1 answer:
STatiana [176]3 years ago
6 0
1) Chemical equation:

Mg + O2 -> MgO

2) Balanced chemical equation:

2Mg + O2 -> 2MgO

3) Ratios

2 mol Mg : 1 mol O2 : 2 mol MgO

4) Convert 2 grams of Mg to number of moles

Molar mass of Mg: 24.3 g/mol

# of moles = grams / molar mass = 2g / 24.3 g/mol =  0.0823 mol

5) Use the theoretical ratio fo find the number of moles of MgO produced

0.0823 mol Mg *   2mol MgO / 2 mol Mg = 0.0823 mol MgO

6) Use the molar mass of MgO to obtain the quantity in grams

Molar mass of MgO = 24.3 g/mol + 16 g/mol = 40.3 g/mol

0.0823 mol MgO * 40.3 g/ mol = 3.32 g

Answer: 3.32 g

Evgen [1.6K]

To solve this we use the equation, 

M1V1 = M2V2

<span>where M1 is the concentration of the stock solution, V1 is the volume of the stock solution, M2 is the concentration of the new solution and V2 is its volume.</span>

4.5 ( V1 ) = 3.0 ( 500 mL )

V1 = 333.33 mL needed of the 4.5 M phosphoric acid


Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.

Calculate the number of molecules of hydrogen and carbon present in 4g of methane
DIA [1.3K]

Molar Mass of 1 molecule of methane(CH4) = 12 + 4 = 16g/mol

That is, 16g if CH4 contain 1 mole molecule of it

= 6.022×10²³ molecules of CH4 which consists of 1 mole of C atoms and 4 moles of H atoms.

=> 4 g of CH4 contains 1/4 × 6.022×10²³ molecules

= 1.5055×10²³ molecules of CH4

= 1.5055×10²³ C atoms and 6.022×10²³ H atoms

Note: the question should be how many atoms of hydrogen and carbon and not molecules.

Hope it helps…
