Chapter 2, Problem 13STP
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The amount of magnesium oxide formed by burning 8.0 g of magnesium should be determined.

Concept Introduction: In a chemical change, the chemical bonds present in reactants are broken to form elements that are then rearranged to form new chemical bonds resulting in the formation of products that possess different compositions than the reactants.

Answer to Problem 13STP

The amount of magnesium oxide formed by burning 8.0 g of magnesium is 13.0 g.

Explanation of Solution

    Mass of Magnesium (g)Mass of Oxygen (g)Mass of magnesium oxide (g)
    53.308.3
    6.54.3010.8
    13.69.0022.60
    19.0012.5031.5

According to the law of conservation of mass, mass is conserved in any chemical or physical change. The mass of reactants is always equal to the mass of products during any chemical reaction.

On plotting the mass of magnesium on the x-axis and mass of magnesium oxide on the y-axis, the plot obtained is:
