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

Chemistry

Anit [1.1K]3 years ago

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.

Need asap thank you

Answer:

c.boron-11

Explanation:

The atomic mass of boron is 10.81 u.

And 10.81 u is a lot closer to 11u than it is to 10u, so there must be more of boron-11.

To convince you fully, we can also do a simple calculation to find the exact proportion of boron-11 using the following formula:

(10u)(x)+(11u)(1−x)100%=10.81u

Where u is the unit for atomic mass and x is the proportion of boron-10 out of the total boron abundance which is 100%.

Solving for x we get:

11u−ux=10.81u

0.19u=ux

x=0.19

1−x=0.81

And thus the abundance of boron-11 is roughly 81%.

Define the law of conservation of charge and provide an example.
iren2701 [21]

Answer:

Conservation of Charge is the principle that the total electric charge in an isolated system never changes. The net quantity of electric charge, the amount of positive charge minus the amount of negative charge in the universe, is always conserved.
