The Law of Conservation of Matter states that matter cannot be created or destroyed. The carbon cycle is an example of the Law because the same carbon atoms are being recycled through the carbon cycle. ... Carbon is used for energy, and some is stored for growth.
Answer:
21.8 grams.
Explanation:
Molar mass data from a modern periodic table:
How many moles of MgO will be produced if Mg is the limiting reactant?
Number of moles of Mg:
.
The ratio between the coefficient of Mg and that of MgO is 2:2. Two moles of Mg will make two moles of MgO. 0.670644 moles of MgO will be produced if Mg is the limiting reactant.
How many moles of MgO will be produced if O₂ is the limiting reactant?
Number of moles of O₂:
.
The ratio between the coefficient of O₂ and that of MgO is 1:2. One mole of O₂ will make two moles of MgO.
of MgO will be produced if O₂ is in excess.
How many moles of MgO will be produced?
0.541284 is smaller than 0.670644. Only 0.541284 moles of MgO will be produced since O₂ will run out before all 16.3 grams of Mg is consumed.
What's the mass of 0.541284 moles of MgO?
Formula mass of MgO:
.
Mass of 0.541284 moles of MgO:
.
To determine the amount of a certain element in a compound, we use the ratio of the elements from the compound. We calculate is follows:
45.0 g CCl4 ( 1 mol CCl4 / 153.82 g CCl4 ) ( 1 mol C / 1 mol CCl4 ) ( 12.01 g C / 1 mol C ) = 3.5135 g carbon present
Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.
