Question

Suppose that magnesium would react exactly the same as copper in this experiment. how many grams of magnesium would have been used in the reaction if 1.000 g of silver were produced? the atomic mass of magnesium is 24.31 g/mol, and the atomic mass of silver is 107.87 g/mol

Answer 1

The solution for this problem would be:

We are looking for the grams of magnesium that would have been used in the reaction if one gram of silver were created. The computation would be:

1 g Ag (1 mol Mg) (24.31 g/mol) / (2mol Ag)(107.87g/mol) = 0.1127 grams of Magnesium
