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.

What is the poH of a 3.67 x 10-5 M OH solution and is it acidic, basic, or neutral?
Anni [7]

Answer:

The pOH is  4, 44 and the solution is basic.

Explanation:

The pOH is a measure of the concentration of OH (hydroxyl) ions in the solution.

The pOH is calculated as :

pOH = -log (OH-)= -log (3.67 x 10-5 )= 4, 44. In this case, the solution is basic.

The p0H scale ranges from values of 0 to 14 (less than 7.0 is basic and greater than 7.0 is acidic, a pH = 7.0 is neutral)

Imagine you leave a bottle of something toxic to humans open overnight in a sealed laboratory.
IgorC [24]

Answer:

Argument: It is not Safe

Further support to the argument is given below.

Explanation:

Solution:

Argument: It is not Safe

First of all, we all know the ideal gas law:

PV = nRT

And the Boyle's Law states that , if the pressure is increased then, volume will decrease. and if the volume is increased then pressure will decrease.

V is inversely proportional to Pressure of the gas.

So, in this case, Let's suppose we have toxic solution of methyl alcohol in the bottle which is tightly closed. It means pressure in the bottle is high, hence the volume is less.

If in this scenario someone, leave the bottle open in the laboratory and as it is given that the level of solution will drastically decrease. It means it is volatile in nature and is converted into gaseous form and we know now that the open bottle has now less pressure. Hence the volume of the gas will be higher and now it can spread to every corner of the laboratory. And it is very dangerous.
