Answer:
0.44g
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Mass of magnesium hydroxide = 0.645g
Solution
The balanced reaction equation is shown below:
Mg(OH)₂ → MgO + H₂O
From the equation above, we see that the number of atoms are conserved.
To find the mass of magnesium oxide produced, we find the number moles of the decomposed magnesium hydroxide first:
Molar mass of Mg(OH)₂ = 24 + 2(16+1) = 58g/mol
Number of moles of Mg(OH)₂ =
=
= 0.011mole
Now, from the balanced equaiton, we know that:
1 mole of Mg(OH)₂ produces 1 mole of MgO
Therefore, 0.011mole of Mg(OH)₂ will produce 0.011mole of MgO
so mass of MgO = number of moles of MgO x molar mass of MgO
Molar mass of MgO = 24 + 16 = 40g/mol
mass of MgO = 0.011 x 40 = 0.44g
Answer:
49.4 g Solution
Explanation:
There is some info missing. I think this is the original question.
<em>A chemistry student needs 20.0g of acetic acid for an experiment. He has 400.g available of a 40.5 % w/w solution of acetic acid in acetone. </em>
<em> Calculate the mass of solution the student should use. If there's not enough solution, press the "No solution" button. Round your answer to 3 significant digits.</em>

We have 400 g of solution and there are 40.5 g of solute (acetic acid) per 100 grams of solution. We can use this info to find the mass of acetic acid in the solution.
Since we only need 20.0 g of acetic acid, there is enough of it in the solution. The mass of solution that contains 20.0 g of solute is:
