2.5 * 1/2.2 * 1000 = 1136 g

OR

2.5 * 454 = 1135 g

You can use either for your conversion.

Calculate the mass of magnesium carbonate ( MgCO3), in grams, required to produce 110.0 g of carbon dioxide using the following

bearhunter [10]

Answer:

$210.7~g~MgCO_3$

Explanation:

We have to start with the reaction:

$MgCO_3~->~MgO~+~CO_2$

We have the same amount of atoms on both sides, so, we can continue. The next step is to find the number of moles that we have in the 110.0 g of carbon dioxide, to this, we have to know the atomic mass of each atom:

C: 12 g/mol

O: 16 g/mol

Mg: 23.3 g/mol

If we take into account the number of atoms in the formula, we can calculate the molar mass of carbon dioxide:

$(12*1)+(16*2)=44~g/mol$

In other words: $1~mol~CO_2=~44~g~CO_2$ . With this in mind, we can calculate the moles:

$110~g~CO_2\frac{1~mol~CO_2}{44~g~CO_2}=25~mol~CO_2$

Now, the molar ratio between carbon dioxide and magnesium carbonate is 1:1, so:

$2.5~mol~CO_2=2.5~mol~MgCO_3$

With the molar mass of $MgCO_3$ ( $(23.3*1)+(12*1)+(16*3)=84.3~g/mol$ . With this in mind, we can calculate the grams of magnesium carbonate:

$2.5~mol~MgCO_3\frac{84.3~g~MgCO_3}{1~mol~MgCO_3}=210.7~g~MgCO_3$

I hope it helps!

While you were "sweating" your chemistry test, water vapor evaporates from your body, absorbing 50,000 J of energy. (assume no

TiliK225 [7]

Answer:

$\boxed {\boxed {\sf B. \ 22 \ grams}}$

Explanation:

We need to use the formula for heat of vaporization.

$Q=H_{vap}*m$

Identify the variables.

The heat absorbed by the evaporating water is the latent heat of vaporization. For water, that is 2260 Joules per gram.

Q is the energy, in this problem, 50,000 Joules.

m is the mass, which is unknown.

$H_{vap}=2260 \ J/g\\Q=50,000 \ J \\$

Substitute the values into the formula.

$50,000 \ J=2260 \ J/g*m$

We want to find the mass. We must isolate the variable, m.

m is being multiplied by 2260 J/g. The inverse operation of multiplication is division. Divide both sides by 2260 J/g.

$\frac{50,000 \ J}{2260 \ J/g} =\frac{2260 \ J/g*m}{2260 \ J/g}$

$\frac{50,000 \ J}{2260 \ J/g} =m$

Divide. Note that the Joules (J) will cancel each other out.

$\frac{50,000 \ }{2260 \ g} =m$

$22.1238938 \ g =m$

Round to the nearest whole number. The 1 in the tenth place tells us to leave the number as is.

$22 \ g \approx m$

The mass is about 22 grams, so choice B is correct.
