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.

hram777 [196]

Answer:

the change in energy of the gas mixture during the reaction is 227Kj

Explanation:

THIS IS THE COMPLETE QUESTION BELOW

Measurements show that the enthalpy of a mixture of gaseous reactants increases by 319kJ during a certain chemical reaction, which is carried out at a constant pressure. Furthermore, by carefully monitoring the volume change it is determined that -92kJ of work is done on the mixture during the reaction. Calculate the change of energy of the gas mixture during the reaction in kJ.

From thermodynamics

ΔE= q + w

Where w= workdone on the system or by the system

q= heat added or remove

ΔE= change in the internal energy

q=+ 319kJ ( absorbed heat is + ve

w= -92kJ

If we substitute the given values,

ΔE= 319 + (-92)= 227 Kj

With the increase in enthalpy and there is absorbed heat, hence the reaction is an endothermic reaction.

A compound is formed when 171.2 g of carbon reacts with 28.8 g of hydrogen. What is the mass percent of hydrogen in the compound
IgorLugansk [536]
Following the law of conservation of mass, the mass percent of hydrogen in the resulting compound is 14.4%(wt/wt). This is assuming that all of the carbon reacts with all of the hydrogen. The solution is as follows:

mass % = mass hydrogen*100/total mass = 28.8*100/(28.8+171.2) = 14.4%
