Calculate the percentage by weight of magnesium in magnesite.
Could you please show working out.
ThanksGreetings,
Molar mass of Mg = 24.305 g/mol
Molar mass of magnesite MgCO3 = 84.314
percentage by weight magnesium in magnesite
= mass Mg/ mass magnesite x 100%
=24.305/84.318 x 100%
= 28.8%
Regards
