Question

A 0.6599-g sample of impure magnesite, MgCO3 (MW = 84 g/mole), was decomposed with HCl; the liberated CO(MW = 44 g/mole) was collected on absorbent and found to weigh 0.1673-g. Calculate the percentage of magnesium (MW = 24 g/mole) in the sample.  

              MgCO(s) + 2 HCl (aq) →MgCl2 (aq) + CO2 (g) + H2O(l)

 

Weight of pure magnesium in the sample is  

a.  0.1825 g

b.  0.0913 g

c.  0.3194 g

d. 0.0456 g

Percentage of magnesium carbonate in the sample is 

a. 24.20%

b. 27.66%

c.  48.40% 

d. 96.80%
