Answer: -
The experiment Niven is doing is burning of Mg.
The first step would be finding the molar mass of MgO
Atomic mass of Mg = 24 g
Atomic mass of Oxygen = 16 g
Molar mass of MgO = 24 x 1 + 16 x 1 = 40 g
The balanced chemical equation for this reaction is
2 Mg + O2 -- > 2MgO
From the balanced equation we see that
2 Mg gives 2 MgO
2 x24 g of Mg O gives 2 x 40 g of MgO.
28g of MgO gives
= 46.66 g of MgO.
Answer: 83%
Explanation:
The detailed solution is shown in the image attached. First we must work out the balanced reaction equation because accurate solution of the problem must be based on the stoichiometry of the reaction. From the given concentration and volume of reactants, we calculate the amount of substance reacted hence identify the limiting reactant. Lastly we use simple proportion to obtain the theoretical yield of the precipitate. This is now used to calculate the actual yield as shown in the solution attached.
