Answer:
80.8 g
Explanation:
First, let's write a balanced equation of this reaction
MgO + 2HNO₃ → Mg(NO₃)₂ + H₂O
Now let's convert grams to moles
We gotta find the weight of MgO
24 + 16 = 40 g/mol
12/40 = 0.3 moles of MgO
We can use this to find out how much Magnesium Nitrate will be formed
0.3 x 1 MgO / 1 Mg(NO₃)₂ = 0.3 moles of Magnesium Nitrate formed
Convert moles to grams
Find the weight of Mg(NO₃)₂ but don't forget that 2 subscript acts as a multiplier of whatever is inside that parenthesis.
24 + 14 x 2 + 16 x 3 x 2 = 148 g/mol
148 x 0.3 = 80.8 g
