Explanation:
Molarity is found by dividing the moles of solute by liters of solution.
We know the molarity is 1.2 M (mol\liter) and there are 2.3 liters of solution. Substitute the known values into the formula.
Since we are solving for x, we must isolate the variable. It is being divided by 2.3 and the inverse of division is multiplication. Multiply both sides by 2.3 liters.
In a solution with a molarity of 1.2 and 2.3 liters of solution, there are 2.76 moles.
Taking into account the reaction stoichiometry, 2.13 grams of magnesium was dissolved in the solution.
<h3>Reaction stoichiometry</h3>In first place, the balanced reaction is:
Mg²⁺(aq) + Na₂CO₃(aq) → MgCO₃(s) + 2 Na⁺(aq)
By reaction stoichiometry (that is, the relationship between the amount of reagents and products in a chemical reaction), the following amounts of moles of each compound participate in the reaction:
- Mg²⁺: 1 mole
- Na₂CO₃: 1 mole
- MgCO₃: 1 mole
- Na⁺: 2 moles
The molar mass of the compounds is:
- Mg²⁺: 24.3 g/mole
- Na₂CO₃: 106 g/mole
- MgCO₃: 84.3 g/mole
- Na⁺: 23 g/mole
Then, by reaction stoichiometry, the following mass quantities of each compound participate in the reaction:
- Mg²⁺: 1 mole ×24.3 g/mole= 24.3 grams
- Na₂CO₃: 1 mole ×106 g/mole= 106 grams
- MgCO₃: 1 mole ×84.3 g/mole=84.3 grams
- Na⁺: 2 moles ×23 g/mole= 46 grams
The following rule of three can be applied: If by reaction stoichiometry 1 mole of Na₂CO₃ react with 24.3 grams of magnesium, 0.0877 moles of Na₂CO₃ react with how much mass of magnesium?
<u><em>mass of magnesium= 2.13 grams</em></u>
Finally, 2.13 grams of magnesium was dissolved in the solution.
