Question

1.0 g of magnesium is burnt with 0.56 g O2  in a closed vessel. Which reactant is left in excess and how much? 

 (At. wt. Mg = 24,O = 16 ) 

Moderate
Solution

nMg=124=0.0416moles

nO2=0.5632=0.0175 moles 

the balanced equation is

 

 

 

 

  Mass of Mg left in excess =0.0066×24=0.16 g
