Argue whether this chemical reaction supports or does not support the Law of Conservation of Matter.

Chemistry
1 answer:
Anit [1.1K]3 years ago
4 0

Explanation:

The reaction is as follows:

2Mg(s) + O2(g) ---> 2MgO(s)

and the researcher said that 32 g of MgO was produced.

Stoichiometry:

28 g Mg × (1 mol Mg/24.305 g Mg) = 1.15 mol Mg

15 g O2 × (1 mol O2/15.999 g O2) = 0.938 mol O2

1.15 mol Mg × (2 mol MgO/2 mol MgO) = 1.15 mol MgO

1.15 mol MgO × (40.3044 g MgO/1 mol MgO) = 46.6 g MgO

0.938 mol O2 × (2 mol MgO/1 mol O2) = 1.88 mol MgO

1.88 mol MgO × (40.3044 g MgO/1 mol MgO = 75.6 g MgO

Based on these numbers, the amount of product after the reaction is much less than expected so these results don't seem to support the law of conservation of matter.

In a molecule of calcium sulfide, calcium has two valence electron bonds, and a sulfur atom has six valence electrons. How many
mote1985 [20]

There are none

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

a molecule of calcium sulfide

two valence electron of Calcium(Ca)

six valence electrons of Sulfur(S)

Required

number of lone pairs of electrons

Solution

Lewis structure shows the form of bonds that occur in the valence electrons of an element or compound

Valence electrons are electrons used in a chemical bond

To achieve stability, the element S needs 2 more electrons which are obtained from 2 electrons from the Ca element,

A lone pair electron means refers to an unshared pair of electrons(not bonding to the other atoms)

This condition usually occurs in covalent bonds

As we know, the bond between Ca, which is a group 2 (metal) with Sulfur in group 16, is an ionic bond because it occurs between metal and non-metal ions, so there is no sharing of electrons, but there is a release of electrons from Ca ions to S ions to form an octet. , so all the valence electrons in S are paired

How does the molecular formula of a compound differ from the empirical formula? Can a compound’s empirical and molecular formula
Y_Kistochka [10]
Molecular is every element present in the compound eg C2H6, empirical is the smallest whole number ratio of elements in a compound so that would be CH3 as you divide by the highest common factor. Some compounds only have 1 formula if they are simple or have no common factors. Eg methane, CH4 is its molecular and empirical because its the simplest whole number ratio and includes every element in the molecule
