Answer:
Explanation:
We have to start with the <u>reaction</u>:
We have the same amount of atoms on both sides, so, we can continue. The next step is to find the <u>number of moles</u> that we have in the 110.0 g of carbon dioxide, to this, we have to know the <u>atomic mass of each atom</u>:
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 <u>molar mass</u> of carbon dioxide:
In other words: . With this in mind, we can calculate the moles:
Now, the <u>molar ratio</u> between carbon dioxide and magnesium carbonate is 1:1, so:
With the molar mass of (
. With this in mind, we can calculate the <u>grams of magnesium carbonate</u>:
