Tests for gases
Hydrogen, oxygen, carbon dioxide, ammonia and chlorine can be identified using different tests.
Hydrogen. A lighted wooden splint makes a popping sound in a test tube of hydrogen.
Oxygen. A glowing wooden splint relights in a test tube of oxygen.

In the lab you measure a clean dry crucible and cover to be 24.36 grams. You obtain a 2cm piece of pure magnesium metal. After s
mart [117]

Answer:

1) 0.3g Mg

2)0.5g MgO

3)0.2g O

4)0.01mol Mg & 0.01mol O

5)0.01mol MgO

6) Empirical formula MgO

Explanation:

The mass og Mg is obtained by substracting 24.36g from 24.66g:

24.66 - 24.36 = 0.3g Mg

The ignition of Mg means that it's reacting with oxygen to form an oxide. The increase in the crucible mass after the Mg ignition is due to the addition of oxygen. However, the addition of few drops of water produces a new compound: a hydroxide. According to the oxidation state og Mg (2+), the only magnesium oxide possible is MgO. It happens because the oxidation state of oxygen in oxides is 2-. Which means that just one oxygen atom is required to electrically neutralize one magnesium atom.

We can use a conversion factor to know how much MgO is made from from 0.3 g of Mg:

0.3g Mg*\frac{16gO}{24.3gMg}= 0.2g O

Thereby the mass of the oxide is 0.2g O + 0.3g Mg = 0.5g MgO

We convert the mass of oxygen and magnesium to the respective amounts in moles by using conversion factors:

0.2g O*\frac{1 mol O}{16g O}= 0.01mol O

0.3g Mg*\frac{1mol Mg}{24.3g Mg}= 0.01mol Mg

The moles of MgO can be obtained from:

0.5g MgO*\frac{1mol MgO}{40.3g MgO}= 0.01mol MgO

To obtain the empirical formula, the amount fo moles of each elements must be divided by the smallest one, in this case, 0.01.

The result for both number of  Mg atoms and O atoms is 1. This can be interpreted to mean that there is a Mg atom for each O atom forming the  formula unit of the compound.

The step when water is added to the compound resulting after heating does not affect the calculations necessary for the magnesium oxide.

Why might a geologist ask an analytical chemist to help identify the minerals in a rock.
Stels [109]

A geologist would ask the analytical chemist to identify the rock's composition. Chemists gather data from afar and analyze matter back to earth.

<h3>Who is a geologist ?</h3>

A geologist is a scientist who focuses on the processes that shape terrestrial planets and the solid, liquid, and gaseous stuff that makes up Earth. Although training in physics, chemistry, biology, and other sciences are sometimes helpful, geologists typically pursue geology as their field of study. Geology includes a significant amount of field study (field work), even if many of its subdisciplines also involve laboratory and computer work.

Geologists look for natural resources like oil, gas, precious and base metals in the energy and mining industries. They are also in the vanguard of efforts to prevent and lessen the effects of natural disasters and hazards like earthquakes, volcanoes, tsunamis, and landslides.
