When 1.5 grams of magnesium burns, how many grams of magnesium oxide will be formed?

1 answer:

6 0

The balanced chemical reaction for this would be written as:

2Mg + O2 = 2MgO

We use this reaction and the amount of the reactant given to calculate for the amount of magnesium oxide that is produced. We do as follows:

1.5 g Mg (1 mol / 24.31 g) ( 2 mol MgO / 2 mol Mg ) (40.30 g /1 mol ) = 2.49 g MgO produced

What is a reaction rate?

kondaur [170]

Answer:

A reaction rate is a measure of how fast a reactant disappears or a product forms during a reaction.

Explanation:

It is usually defined as the change in concentration per unit time:

Δ(concentration)/Δt

The units are (moles per litre) per second.

In symbols, the units are mol/(L·s) or mol·L^-1 s^-1.

The empirical formula of styrene is CH; its molar mass is 104.1 g/mol. What is the molecular formula of styrene?

Natalija [7]

You got the answer correct. If you would double check
given:C (12 g/mol) H (1 g/mol).

12(8) + 1(8) = 104 g/mol

and for C2H4
12(2)+1(4) = 28g/mol

Also, chemical formula of styrene is C6H5CH=CH2.

Write the balanced chemical equation for the following reaction. Phases are optional. Solid calcium chlorate decomposes to form

Tanya [424]

Answer:

Ca(ClO₃)₂ (s) → CaCl₂ (s) + 3O₂ (g)

Explanation:

1) Word equation (given)

calcium chlorate (solid) → solid calcium chloride (solid) + oxygen (gas)

2) Chemical formulae of the reactant and products:

Calcium chlorate:

The most common oxidation states of chlorine are -1, +1, +3, +5, +7.

The suffix ate in chlorate means that chlorine atom is with the third lowest oxidation state (counting only the positive states). So, this is +5.

The oxidation state of calcium is +2.

Hence, the chemical formula of calcium chlorate is Ca(ClO₃)₂

Calcium chloride

The suffix ide in chloride means that chlorine is with oxidation state -1. Again the oxidation state of calcium is +2.

Hence, the chemical formula of calcium chloride is CaCl₂

Oxygen

Oxygen gas is a diatomic molecule, so its chemical formula is O₂.

Phases

The symbols s and g (in parenthesis) indicate the solid and gas phases respectively.

3) Chemical equation:

Ca(ClO₃)₂ (s) → CaCl₂ (s) + O₂ (g)

That equation is not balanced becasue the number of O atoms in the reactant side and in the product side are different.

4) Balanced chemical equation:

Add a 3 as coefficient in front of O₂(g), in the product side to balance:

Ca(ClO₃)₂ (s) → CaCl₂ (s) + 3O₂ (g)

Verify that all the atoms are balanced:

Atom Reactant side Product side

Ca 1 1

Cl 2 2

O 3×2 = 6 2×3 = 6

Conclusion: the equation is balanced and the final answer is:

Ca(ClO₃)₂ (s) → CaCl₂ (s) + 3O₂ (g)

When the following equation is balanced, the coefficients are ________.

LuckyWell [14K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Option B is the correct answer. When you add 7 in front of the O2 in the left side, and then you add 4 and 6 in front of NO2 and H2O respectively, the number of oxygen atoms is the same in both sides.
