Solution Steps

Step 1: Determine the Molar Mass of MgO

To find the number of moles, we first need to determine the molar mass of magnesium oxide (MgO). The molar mass is the sum of the atomic masses of magnesium (Mg) and oxygen (O).

  • Atomic mass of Mg: 24.3050 g/mol
  • Atomic mass of O: 15.9994 g/mol

\[ \text{Molar mass of MgO} = 24.3050 \, \text{g/mol} + 15.9994 \, \text{g/mol} = 40.3044 \, \text{g/mol} \]

Step 2: Calculate the Number of Moles

Next, we use the formula to calculate the number of moles:

\[ \text{Number of moles} = \frac{\text{Mass}}{\text{Molar mass}} \]

Given the mass of MgO is 68.05 g:

\[ \text{Number of moles} = \frac{68.05 \, \text{g}}{40.3044 \, \text{g/mol}} = 1.688 \, \text{moles} \]

Final Answer

\[ \boxed{1.688 \, \text{moles}} \]

Read this text from paragraph 3. (3) ... Roosevelt met up with John Muir and they spent three days camping alone in the Yosemite high country. Because of the impression Muir made upon Roosevelt, Yosemite National Park would be expanded and control of the park would be tumed back over to the federal government. Roosevelt would later go on to sign into law the Antiquities Act, which gives the President the power to proclaim an area of natural or historical value as public lands. Which excerpt supports the inference that Roosevelt and Captain Charles Young shared similar views about conservation? A. "Campaigns in the American West had imbued Army soldiers with the skills necessary for patrolling the vast wilderness that the new National Parks offered the public." B. 'These were areas set aside by the Federal Government to provide access to an unspoiled wilderness area, a frontier that many Americans would never be able to experience." C. "A journey through this park and the Sierra Forest Reserve to the Mount Whitney country will convince even the least thoughtulf man of the needfulness of preserving these mountains just as they are ..." D. "After making a visit to Mammoth Hot Springs in Yellowstone National Park, it was considered acceptable to chip off a piece of the travertine and to carve your name and address."
