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.

Are ions always smaller than their neutral atoms

A drooping plant can be made upright by watering the ground around it. Explain.
Aliun [14]

Through the xylem, water is drawn up the plant, where it combines with other molecules to form water. The water is drawn to the leaves by the produced pulling force. The plant is rigid, sturdy, and upright due to the linked water, which produces turgidity (the opposite of wilting).

The vascular tissue of plants called the xylem transports water and dissolved minerals from the roots to the rest of the plant while also offering structural support. The tracheary components, a variety of specialized, water-conducting cells, make up xylem tissue.

A plant tissue known as the xylem is responsible for moving water and nutrients from the roots to other parts of the plant, including the stems and leaves. One characteristic that distinguishes vascular plants from nonvascular plants is the presence of xylem tissue. The xylem and the phloem are the two main tissue types that make up the vascular system. Water and dissolved minerals are distributed upward through the plant by the xylem, from the roots to the leaves.
