Question

Magnesium Carbonate breaks down on heating, like this:

MgCO3 (s) → MgO (s) + CO2 (g)

When 10g of magnesium carbonate is heated, what mass of each product is formed?

Answer 1

Hi, this is a stoichiometry question.
Answer should be
4.76g and 5.23 g approximated respectively

Answer 2

Answer:

Magnesium carbonate (MgCO3) and calcium carbonate (CaCO3) both decompose when heated, forming CO2 gas and the corresponding oxides.MgCO3(s) → CO2(g) + MgO(s)CaCO3(s) → CO2(g) + CaO(s)When a particular mixture of MgCO3 and CaCO3 is heated
