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

Chemistry

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.

saw5 [17]

Answer:

47.8 g

Explanation:

Remember the equation for percent yield:

% yield = actual / theoretical

We're given two of the values in the question, so plug n' play:

0.945 = 45.2 / theoretical

theoretical = 47.8 g

Keep in mind you can use mass here without converting to moles because we're working with products only. If you were given a mass of reactants, you would need to convert to moles and using a balanced chemical equation find the corresponding moles of product produced.
