Boyle's law gives the relationship between pressure and volume of gas. It states that for a fixed amount of gas at constant temperature, pressure is inversely proportional to volume of gas.
PV = k
where P - pressure, V - volume and k - constant
P1V1 = P2V2
where parameters for the first instance are on the left side and parameters for the second instance are on the right side of the equation.
substituting the values in the equation
0.947 atm x 150.0 mL = 0.987 atm x V
V = 144 mL
therefore new volume is 144 mL
1.65g MgO = 1g Mg
1.65 - 1 = 0.65 g of O in MgO
solve it using proportion:
1g Mg / 0.65g O = x (g) Mg / 16g O
or 1 / 0.65 = x / 16
24.6 g is the answer.
if 1 gram of oxygen requires 1.65 grams of Mg
then 16 grams of oxygen will require 16 ( 1.65) or 26.4 grams.
"I" symbol means the current goes through the system (imagine the 'I' being a line, like a circuit connecting [power to the device]) "O" symbol means the current does not go through the system. ( the circle is an open circuit, having no power flowing through it
Because if they are not balanced, then the amount of reaction is not equal to the amount of the product. You must have the same ratio of atoms on both sides of the equation because we are not losing moles of each element.
