I don’t know if this would help but my cousin said this: Molecular weight of chlorine = 71, so 7.1/71 = 0.1 mol of Cl2
Answer:
A. The increase in the mass of the magnesium oxide was due to oxygen atoms in the air.
Explanation:
Burning occurs in the presence of oxygen. A chemical combination occurs between Mg and O in that the atom of magnesium attracts one another.
Mg + O₂ → MgO
Starting with the magnesium, on reacting with oxygen a new compound forms. This is why there is mass increase in the MgO compared to the starting material.
Actually the correct answer must be:
The limiting reactant in the reaction is the one which has
the lowest ratio of moles available
over coefficient in the balanced equation
This is because the actual mass or number of moles of the
reactant does not directly dictate if it is a limiting reactant, this must be
relative to the other reactants.
So the answer is:
e. none of the above
