Answer:

If 48 g of magnesium react with gaseous oxygen, 80 grams of magnesium oxide will form.

Explanation:

First of all you must know the amount of mass that reacts and is produced from each compound stochemically (that is, the relationship between the amount of reagents and products in a chemical reaction).

For that you must know the atomic mass of each element, read in the periodic table:

  • Mg: 24 g/mol
  • O: 16 g/mol

Then,  the compounds involved in the reaction have a molar mass, that is, the mass in one mole of the compound, of:

  • Mg: 24 g/mol
  • O₂: 2*16 g/mol= 32 g/mol
  • MgO: 24 g/mol + 16 g/mol= 40 g/mol

But in the reaction 2 Mg + O₂ —-> 2 MgO it is observed that 2 moles of Mg and 1 mole of O₂ react, and 2 moles of MgO are formed. Then stoichiometrically they react and the following mass quantities are produced:

  • Mg: 2 mol*24 g/mol= 48 g
  • O₂: 1 mol*32 g/mol= 32 g
  • MgO: 2 moles*40 g/mol= 80 g

By stoichiometry you can see that when reacting 48 g of Mg, 80 g of MgO are formed.  Expressed in another way, <u><em>if 48 g of magnesium react with gaseous oxygen, 80 grams of magnesium oxide will form.</em></u>

think it maybe 48 mg0 because there should be 2g magnesium in the word equation

taurus [48]

Answer:

The experimenter observed this experiment in a lab rather than natural world because it might be dangerous to the atmosphere if he does the experiment in the natural world and it was still an hypothesis so that's why he did it in the lab.

You are given two aqueous solutions with different ionic solutes (Solution A and Solution B). What if you are told that Solution
klio [65]

Answer:

Yes, it is possible. Let us consider an example of two solutions, that is, solution A having 20 percent mass RbCl (rubidium chloride) and solution B is having 15 percent by mass NaCl or sodium chloride.  

It is found that solution A is having more concentration in comparison to solution B in terms of mass percent. The formula for mass percent is,  

% by mass = mass of solute/mass of solution * 100

Now the formula for molality is,  

Molality = weight of solute/molecular weight of solute * 1000/ weight of solvent in grams

Now molality of solution A is,  

m = 20/121 * 1000/80 (molecular weight of RbCl is 121 grams per mole)

m = 2.07

Now the molality of solution B is,  

m = 15/58.5 * 1000/85

m = 3.02

Therefore, in terms of molality, the solution B is having greater concentration (3.02) in comparison to solution A (2.07).

What is the most likely reason that nonmetals are electrical insulators?
Ray Of Light [21]

Answer:

Since valence shells are mostly empty in nonmetal atoms, the atoms attract and hold any electrons they can in order to fill their valence shells.
