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%

Travka [436]

Morphine sulfate given intravenously, by itself, at once, is known as push.

<h3>What is Morphine ?</h3>

A member of the opiate family of painkillers, morphine is naturally present in opium, a dark-brown substance found in poppies (Papaver somniferum). Morphine can be given orally, sublingually, inhaled, injected into a muscle, injected under the skin, intravenously, into the area around the spinal cord, transdermally, or as a rectal suppository. It causes analgesia and modifies perception and emotional reaction to pain by acting directly on the central nervous system (CNS). With repeated use, tolerance and reliance could develop on both a physical and psychological level. It is widely used for pain from myocardial infarction, kidney stones, and labor pain and can be taken for both acute and chronic pain.

How many moles of the product fecl3 do you make, when 8moles of fe react with excess cl2
tatuchka [14]

To figure out questions related to reacting moles/masses, the first step is always to write a complete balanced equation.

2Fe (s) + 3Cl2 (g) → 2FeCl3 (s)

Since Cl2 is the excess reactant, and Fe is the limiting reactant, we can simply find the number of moles of the product by comparing the mole ratio of the limiting reactant to the mole ratio of the product from the equation.

From the equation, mole ratio of Fe:FeCl3 = 2:2 = 1:1, the number of moles of product is exactly the same as the number of moles of the limiting reactant, which makes it 8 moles.

Note that if the mole ratio is not 1:1, you have to do some calculations to make sure the no. of moles is balanced at the end. Which means, if the mole ratio happened to be 1:2, the no. of moles of the product would be 8x2=16 instead.

So, your answer is 8 moles.
