Atomic Theory of Matter Part 3

The video tutorial explores the chemical reaction of magnesium with oxygen, emphasizing the law of conservation of mass. It calculates the mass of magnesium oxide formed and examines the effects of varying reactant quantities. The tutorial also discusses the law of multiple proportions using oxides of nitrogen as examples, highlighting the importance of understanding chemical ratios and reactions.

What is the total mass of substances present after burning 24.3 grams of magnesium in 80 grams of oxygen?

• 40.3 grams

• 104.3 grams

• 64.3 grams

• 80.3 grams

If 24.3 grams of magnesium is burned with excess oxygen, what mass of magnesium oxide is formed?

• 40.3 grams

• 64.3 grams

• 104.3 grams

• 80.3 grams

What happens to the reaction when excess oxygen is added but magnesium is limited?

• The reaction stops once magnesium is used up

• The reaction continues indefinitely

• More magnesium oxide is formed

• Oxygen reacts with itself

What is the ratio of magnesium to oxygen in the reaction to form magnesium oxide?

• 1:2

• 2:1
