Respuesta :
The amount of 10.5 g magnesium carbonate is needed to make 5.0g of magnesium oxide.
So, option D is correct.
Given that, Magnesium carbonate decomposes on heating to form magnesium oxide and carbon dioxide as
MgCO₃ → MgO + CO₂
Molar mass of MgCO₃ = 24 + 12 + 48 = 84 g/mole
Molar mass of MgO = 24 + 16 = 40g/mole
40 gram MgO is produced from 84 gram of MgCO₃
1 gram of MgO produced from [tex]\frac{84}{40}=2.1[/tex] gram of MgCO₃
Therefore, 5 gram of MgO produced from [tex](5*2.1=10.5gram)[/tex] of MgCO₃
Thus, option D is correct.
