In 1986 an electrical power plant in Taylorsville,Georgia, burned 8,376,726 tons of coal, a national record at the time.
You heat 2.53 grams of metallic mercury in air, which produces 2.73 grams of red-orange residue. Assume that the chemical change is the reaction of the metal with oxygen in the air. What is the mass of oxygen that react? When you strongly heat the red- orange residue, it decomposes to give her back the mercury and release the oxygen, which you collect. What is the mass of oxygen you collected?
A gram of gasoline produces 45.0 kJ of energy when burned. Gasoline has a density of 0.77 g/mL. How would you calculate the amount of energy produced by burning 14. L of gasoline? Set the math up. But don't do any of it. Just leave your answer as a math expression. Also, be sure your answer includes all the correct unit symbols. energy produced x10 X 3

Large amounts of titanium metal are refined by reacting titanium(III) chloride solution with magnesium metal. To test this refining process, a student reacts 1.52 kg of magnesium metal with excess titanium(III) chloride solution. After the reaction was complete, the student had extracted 1.62 kg of titanium metal. From this data, calculate the percent error of this experiment. Hint: Write a balanced chemical reaction equation and calculate theoretical mass first. Do not show your work in the space provided. Record only your final answer with the correct number of significant digits and the proper units. Answer: Evaluate your calculated percent error. Is this an acceptable percent error? Yes No
