Answer: -

The experiment Niven is doing is burning of Mg.

The first step would be finding the molar mass of MgO

Atomic mass of Mg = 24 g

Atomic mass of Oxygen = 16 g

Molar mass of MgO = 24 x 1 + 16 x 1 = 40 g

The balanced chemical equation for this reaction is

2 Mg + O2 -- > 2MgO

From the balanced equation we see that

2 Mg gives 2 MgO

2 x24 g of Mg O gives 2 x 40 g of MgO.

28g of MgO gives \frac{2 x 40 gram x 28 gram }{2 x 24 gram}

= 46.66 g of MgO.

Answer:

The first step would be to write the balanced chemical reaction

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of Mg = 28.0 g

The first step is to write down the balanced chemical reaction depicting the stoichiometry

2Mg + O2 → 2MgO

Therefore, 2 moles of Mg produces 2 moles of MgO

i.e. the ratio of Mg:MgO = 1:1

Atomic mass of Mg = 24 g/mol

Moles of Mg reacted = \frac{28.0 g}{24 g/mol} = 1.167

This is equal to the moles of MgO produced = 1.167

Molar mass of MgO = 24 + 16 = 40 g/mol

Mass of MgO produced = 1.167 moles * 40 g/mol = 46.7 g

what happens when an object speeds up,slows down, or changes direction A) velocity B) time C) deceleration D) acceleration
HACTEHA [7]
Whenever the motion of an object changes . . . speeding up, or slowing down, 
or changing direction . . . that change is called "acceleration".  Acceleration is produced by force on the object.If there is no force on the object, then there is no acceleration.  That means that 
its motion doesn't change.  The object remains in constant, uniform motion . 
moving with steady speed, in a straight line.  

No force is necessary to keep an object moving, only to change its motion.

24 grams of CH4 was added to the above reaction. Calculate the theoretical yield of CO2. A. 66 grams B. 33 grams c. 132 grams. D
Sonbull [250]

Answer:

Option A. 66 g

Explanation:

We'll begin by writing the balanced equation for the reaction. This is given below:

CH₄ + 2O₂ —> CO₂ + 2H₂O

Next, we shall determine the mass of CH₄ that reacted and the mass of CO₂ produced from the balanced equation. This is illustrated below:

Molar mass of CH₄ = 12 + (4×1)

= 12 + 4 = 16 g/mol

Mass of CH₄ from the balanced equation = 1 × 16 = 16 g

Molar mass of CO₂ = 12 + (16×2)

= 12 + 32 = 44 g/mol

Mass of CO₂ from the balanced equation = 1 × 44 = 44 g

SUMMARY:

From the balanced equation above,

16 g of CH₄ reacted to produce 44 g of CO₂.

Finally, we shall determine the theoretical yield of CO₂. this can be obtained as follow:

From the balanced equation above,

16 g of CH₄ reacted to produce 44 g of CO₂.

Therefore, 24 g of CH₄ will react to produce = (24 × 44) /16 = 66 g of CO₂.

Thus, the theoretical yield of CO₂ 66 g
