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.

Design an invitation you could use to calculate the density of a penny
Nataliya [291]
Firstly, the density of any substance is represented by the mass (amount of matter) as divided by the volume(amount of space). According to external websites, the mass of a penny is 2.5 grams.However, the volume of a penny is .35cm to the power of 3 (due to the thickness of the penny being extremely minimal.Thus the amount of density is extremely little). Therefore, the density of a penny is 0.875 g/cm cubed (dimensional analysis).As for an invention that could be used, that is possible with the usage of a series of measurements that can both calculate mass and volume and directly allocate that to attain density

A solution of acetic acid and water contains 205.0 g L-1 of acetic acid and 820.0 g L-1 of water. Compute the density of the sol
LekaFEV [45]

Answer:

\rho_t=1025000 gmL^{-1}

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Density of acetic acid \rho_a=205 gL^{-1}

Density of Water \rho_w=820 gL^{-1}

Generally the equation for Solution Density is mathematically given by

\rho_t= \rho_w+\rho_a

\rho_t=205+820

\rho_t=1025 gL^{-1}

\rho_t=1025000 gmL^{-1}

Which of the following is the number of moles of solute that is dissolved in 1 liter of solution?
Komok [63]
I believe the correct answer is option B. Molarity is the <span>number of moles of solute that is dissolved in 1 liter of solution. It is another way of expressing concentration of a mixture especially for solutions. Percent by mass is grams solute per grams of solution. Percent by volume is liter solute per liter per solution.</span>
