What mass of magnesium oxide will enter into chemical interaction with carbon dioxide of mass 100?

1. Let’s compose the equation of interaction of magnesium oxide with carbon dioxide:

MgO + CO2 = MgCO3;

2. find the chemical amount of gas:

n (CO2) = m (CO2): M (CO2);

M (CO2) = 12 + 16 * 2 = 44 g / mol;

n (CO2) = 100: 44 = 2.72 mol;

3.Calculate the amount and mass of magnesium oxide:

n (MgO) = n (CO2) = 2.72 mol;

m (MgO) = n (MgO) * M (MgO);

M (MgO) = 24 + 16 = 40 g / mol;

m (MgO) = 2.72 * 40 = 108.8 g.

Answer: 108.8 g.
