How many grams of magnesium oxide are formed when 15.4 L of oxygen gas, measured at STP, completely reacts with magnesium metal according to this reaction?

2Mg(s)+O2(g)→2MgO(s)

55 g OF MgO WILL BE FORMED IF 15.4 L OF OXYGEN WERE TO BE USED AT STP.

Explanation:

Equation for the reaction;

2 Mg (s) + O2 (g) > 2 MgO (s)

From the balanced equation, 2 moles of Mg reacts with 1 mole of Oxygen to yield 2 moles of MgO

1 mole of O2 yields 2 moles of MgO

At STP, 1 mole of a gas = 22.4 dm3

So therefore, 22.4 dm3 of Oxygen formed 2 moles of MgO

Calculate the molar mass of Mg0

(Mg = 24, O = 16)

RMM = (24 + 16) g/mol

RMM = 40 g/mol

Since 2 moles of MgO is formed, to calculate the mass of MgO formed, we multiply the molar mass by the number of moles.

Mass of MgO formed = 40 g/mol * 2 moles

Mass = 80 g

So therefore,

22.4 dm3 of oxygen formed 80 g pf MgO

If 15.4 L of oxygen were to be used, how many grams of MgO will be formed;

22.4 L = 80 g of MgO

15.4 L of O2 = x

x = 80 * 15.4 / 22.4

x = 1232 / 22.4

x =55 g

55g of MgO will be formed at STP if 15.4 L of oxygen gas were to be used.

under a microscope, cancer cells may look very different from normal cells. they often have different sizes and some may be larger than normal while others are smaller. cancer cells are often abnormally shaped and the control centre of the cell (the nucleus) may have an abnormal appearance.
