When 24g of magnesium metal is heated in air, 40g of magnesium oxide is produced. what mass of magnesium would be needed in order to produce 10g of magnesium oxide?

6.1 g

Explanation:

between Mg and MgO theres a 1;1 MOLE RATIO

here's the balanced equation

2Mg + O2 ==> 2MgO

24g of magnesium is approximately 1 mole of magnesium so it produces 40 g of mgo which is also 1 mole of mgo thus 10/40 =0.25 moles of MgO so 0.25 moles of magnesium would be needed  which is approximately 6.1 g

a rain shadow is a dry region of land on the side that is protected against the prevailing winds of a mountain range. the prevailing winds are the winds that occur most of the time in a particular place of the earth

prevailing winds carry air toward the mountain range. as the air rises up over a mountain range, the air cools, water vapor condenses, and clouds form. on this side of the mountains, called the windward side, precipitation falls in the form of  rain  or snow. this dry air produces a  rain shadow.
