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 reason of formation of millions of organic compound
Umnica [9.8K]
The reason lies within the uniqueness of carbon's structure and bonding capabilities. Carbon has four valence electrons and therefore makes four separate covalent bonds in compounds.
