A question based on general chemistry, which is to be accomplished.

(a) What is the difference between adding subscript 2 to the end of the formula for CO to give CO2 and adding a coefficient in front of the formula to give 2C0? (b) Is the following chemical equation, as written, consistent with the law of conservation of mass? 3Mg(OH)2 (s) + 2H3PO4 (aq) Why or why not? • Mg3(PO+)2 (s) + H2O (1)

4.69 The pictures below show a molecular-scale view of a chemical reaction between H2 and CO to produce methanol, CH3OH. The box on the left represents the reactants at the instant of mixing, and the box on the right shows what is left once the reaction has gone to completion. Was there a limiting reactant in this reaction? If so, what was it? Write a balanced chemical equation for this reaction. As usual, your equation should use the smallest possible whole number coefficients for all substances.

A sample of sandstone consists of silica, SiO2, and calcite, CaCO3. When the sandstone is heated, calcium carbonate, CaCO3, decomposes into calcium oxide, CaO, and carbon dioxide CaCO3(s)CaO(s)+CO2(g) What is the percentage of silica in the sandstone if 18.7 mg of the rock yields 3.95 mg of carbon dioxide?
Chalky, white crystals in mineral collections are often labeled borax, which has the molecular formula Na2B4O7 10H2O, when actually they are partially dehydrated samples with the molecular formula Na2B4O7 5H2O, which is more stable under the storage conditions. Real crystals of borax are colorless and transparent. (a) Calculate the percent mass that the mineral has lost when it partially dehydrates. (b) Is the percent boron by mass the same in both compounds?
You take 1.00 g of an aspirin tablet (a compound consisting solely of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen), burn it in air, and collect 2.20 g CO2 and 0.400 g H2O. You know that the molar mass of aspirin is between 170 and 190 g/mol. Reacting 1 mole of salicylic acid with I mole of acetic anhydride (C4H6O3) gives you 1 mole of aspirin and 1 mole of acetic acid (C2H4O2). Use this information to determine the molecular formula of salicylic acid.
