You react 2.43 grams of magnesium with oxygen from the air according to the following reaction. The final mass of the product, m

Leona [35]

Answer:

The mass of oxygen that reacted is approximately 1.6 grams of oxygen

Explanation:

The given information are;

The mass of magnesium in the reaction = 2.43 grams

The final mass of the magnesium oxide = 4.12 grams

The chemical equation for the reaction is given as follows;

2Mg + O₂ → 2MgO

From which we see that two moles of magnesium, Mg, reacts with one mole of oxygen gas molecule, O₂, to produce two moles of magnesium oxide, MgO

The number of moles of magnesium present, $n_{Mg}$ , is given as follows;

$n_{Mg} = \dfrac{Mass \ of \, magnesium}{Molar \ mass \ of \, magnesium} = \dfrac{2.43}{24.305} \approx 0.1 \ moles$

By the given chemical equation, 2 moles of magnesium reacts with one mole of O₂, therefore;

1 mole of magnesium will react with 1/2 moles of oxygen which is 0.5 moles of oxygen also;

0.1 mole of magnesium will react with 0.05 moles of oxygen

The mass of one mole of oxygen = The molar mass of oxygen = 32 g/mol

The mass of oxygen in the reaction = The number of moles of oxygen × The molar mass of oxygen

The mass of oxygen in the reaction = 0.05 × 32 = 1.6 grams

Also from the molar mass of MgO which is 40.3044 g/mol, we have;

The mass fraction of oxygen = 16/40.3044 = 0.39698 ≈ 0.4

The mass of oxygen = 0.39698 × 4.12 = 1.636 g

Therefore, the mass of oxygen in the reaction is approximately 1.6 grams.

How can you tell if a sample contains baking soda and cornstarch or baking powder

densk [106]

You could mix it with some vinegar, if it has cornstarch or baking soda in it will bubble, I'm not sure how to tell with baking powder... I'm not sure if it would have a reaction or not.

Hope this helps.

Describe the major types of bodies of water

Alina [70]

<h2>Answer and Explanation </h2>

The body of water means the occurrence of water on earth’s surface. Examples are oceans, lakes, seas, ponds, and pools. The major bodies of water are:

Pacific ocean is the biggest and deepest of Earth's oceanic divisions. It stretches from the Arctic Ocean in the direction to the Southern Ocean.

Atlantic ocean is another giant of the world's oceans. It includes nearly 20 percent of the Earth's exterior and nearly 29 percent of its water covering space.

The Indian Ocean is the third largest Ocean in the world. It is surrounded by Asia, Africa, and Australia.

Arctic ocean is the smallest and shallowest of the world's five main oceans.

Mediterranean sea is a sea is attached to the Atlantic Ocean.

Explain why a change in the position of a substituent group (i.e., which carbon the group is attached to) can, but does not alwa

DedPeter [7]

Changing the position of the substituents in an organic molecule will often result in a different chemical compound. If the structure of the molecule changes but it still has the same molecular formula, i.e., the same number of each atom, then this is called a structural isomer. However, it is possible to change the position of a substituent and the structure of the molecule remain unchanged. This would most likely occur in symmetric molecules.

CH₃ - CH₂ - CH₂ - CH₂ - OH 1-butanol

CH₃ - CH₂ - CH - CH₃ 2 - butanol
|
OH

Looking at the two structures above, the position of the -OH was moved from the 1-carbon to the 2-carbon, resulting in two different molecules. These are structural isomers. However, we can also move the -OH group without changing the molecule.

CH₃ - CH₂ - CH - CH₃ 2-butanol
|
OH
CH₃ - CH - CH₂ - CH₃ 2-butanol
|
OH
In the above structure, it appears that the -OH group was moved from the 2-carbon to the 3-carbon, but since this molecule is symmetrical, the 2- and 3-carbons are equivalent. Therefore, swapping substituents has no effect on the structure of the molecule and these are equivalent.
