The answer is 60.3% magnesium, 39.7% oxygen.
Solution:
The chemical equation for the reaction is 2 Mg + O2 → 2 MgO.
Since magnesium reacts completely with oxygen, it is the limiting reactant in the reaction. Hence, we can use the number of moles of magnesium to get the mass of MgO produced:
     moles of magnesium = 14.7g / 24.305g mol-1
                                       = 0.6048 mol

     mass of MgO = 0.6048mol Mg(2 mol MgO/2mol Mg)(40.3044g MgO/1 mol MgO) 
                           = 24.376g MgO

We can now solve for the percentage of magnesium:
     % Mg = (14.7g Mg / 24.376g MgO)*100% = 60.3%

We also use the number of moles of magnesium to get the mass of oxygen consumed in the reaction:
     mass of O2 =  0.6048 mol Mg (1mol O2 / 2mol Mg) (31.998g / 1mol O2) 
                        = 9.676g

The percentage of oxygen is therefore
     % O2 = (9.676g O2 / 24.376g MgO)*100%
               = 39.7%
Notice that we can just subtract the magnesium's percentage from 100% to get 
     % O2 = 100% - 60.3% = 39.7%

Why copper should not be disposed of in landfill sites?
Dafna1 [17]
Copper is a heavy metal that can harm many people. This process of heavy metals building in your body is called bioaccumulation and the process of this building in the food chain is called biomagnification. Its hard to rid of this heavy metal because it is very dense, therefore, cannot breakdown in our bodies. Heavy metals get consumed by producers and then reach to the top of the pyramid (us) so we have the highest risk of getting diseases and so on. Make sure you explain that heavy metals get passed from industrial purposes where companies do not dispose of waste properly.

How many moles of water are produced if 5.43 mol PbO2 are consumed?<br><br> ANSWER: 10.9
Arada [10]

Answer: 10.9 mol.

Explanation:

  • To understand how to solve this problem, we must mention the reaction equation where water produced from PbO₂.

Pb + PbO₂ + 2H₂SO₄ → 2PbSO₄ + 2H₂O

  • Now, it is a stichiometric oriented problem, that 1 mole of PbO₂ produces 2 moles of H₂O.

Using cross multiplication:

1.0 mole of PbO₂ → 2.0 moles of H₂O

5.43 moles of PbO₂ → ??? moles of water

The moles of water produced = (5.43 x 2.0) = 10.86 moles ≅ 10.9 moles.
