How many grams of magnesium oxide forms when 8.0g of magnesium are burned?

1 answer:

7 0

Magnesium burns with oxygen to give magnesium oxide based on the following reaction:
2Mg+O2 ........> 2MgO(s)+energy
From the periodic table:
molecular mass of magnesium = 24.3 grams
molecular mass of oxygen = 16 grams

From the reaction:
2 x 24.3 = 48.6 grams of magnesium are required to produce 2(24.3+16) = 80.6 grams of magnesium oxide.
We can know the amount of magnesium oxide produced from 8 grams of magnesium by simply doing cross multiplication as follows:
amount of magnesium oxide = (8 x 80.6) / 48.6 = 13.267 grams

Methylpropane (complete and condensed structural formulas)

Tcecarenko [31]

Answer:

Here's what I get

Explanation:

1. Complete structural formula

Methylpropane consists of a chain of three carbons with another carbon atom attached to the middle carbon. Enough H atoms are added to give each C atom a total of four bonds.

The complete structural formula is shown below (There is a C atom at each intersection).

2. Condensed structural formula

A condensed structural formula is designed to be typed on one line.

The molecule has three CH₃ groups attached to a single carbon atom, so the condensed structural formula is

(CH₃)₃CH

The formula is also often written CH₃CH(CH₃)CH₃ and as (CH₃)₂CHCH₃.
