The mineral magnesite contains magnesium carbonate, MgCO3 (molar mass= 84 g/mol), and other impurities. When a 1.26-g sample of

magnesite was dissolved in hydrochloric acid, 0.22 g of CO2 was generated. If the magnesite contained no carbonate other than MgCO3, what was the percent MgCO3 by mass in the magnesite? The reaction is as follows:
MgCO3(s) + 2HCl (aq) --> MgCl2(aq) + H20(l) + CO2(g)

The answer is 33.33 %


The explanation:


According to the reaction equation:


MgCO3(s) + 2HCl (aq) --> MgCl2(aq) + H20(l) + CO2(g)


we can see that 1 mole of MCO3 will produce → 1 mole of CO2


-Now we need o get number of mole of CO2:


and when we have 0.22 g of CO2, so number of mole = mass / molar mass


moles = 0.22 g / 44 g/mol = 0.005 mole


∴ moles of Mg = moles of CO2 = 0.005 mole


∴ mass of Mg = moles * molar mass


= 0.005 * 84 /mol = 0.42 g


∴ Percent of MgCO3 by mass of Mg = 0.42 g / 1.26 * 100


= 33.33 %

We are given with the equation <span>MgCO3(s) + 2HCl (aq) --> MgCl2(aq) + H20(l) + CO2(g). we shall convert CO2 to number of grams of MgCO3. Via stiochiometry, 0.22 g CO2 is equal to 0.42 gram MgCO3. In this case, the purity of MgCO3 in the sample is 0.42 g / 1.26 g or equal to 33.33 percent</span>

Tisa makes a diagram to organize her notes about charging objects.

The answer is Electrons move between objects. The reason this is known is that the acts of friction and conduction (from the little picture he could not put in) involves contact to be known as friction and conduction. Without contact the electrons could not move between objects. I also got this question right on the test. That's how I know this is right. I hope this helps. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
