1.0   g of magnesium is burnt with 0.56   g O 2 in a closed vessel. Which reaction is left in excess and how much? (At, wt. M g = 24 ;     O = 16 )
Options
- AM g , 0.16 g
- BO 2 , 0.16 g
- CM g , 0.44 g
- DO 2 , O . 28 g
Correct answer
A. M g , 0.16 g
Step-by-step solution
M g + 1 2 O 2 → M g O 1.0 24         0.56 32 0.5 12         0.07 4 Oxygen is limiting reagent so 0.07 4 - x 2 = 0 x = 0.07 2 excess M g = 0.5 12 - 0.07 2 mole mass of M g is = 1 - 0.7 × 12 = 0.16   g r a m .
