Chemical Reactions unit test
A test on this unit alone, marked as a percentage and a letter grade — for the test your class is actually sitting, rather than for May. Answer everything, then submit once: seeing the answer to question 3 before attempting question 4 makes the final percentage meaningless.

4 ptsA student is asked to identify an unknown Group 2 metal carbonate, MCO₃. Heating 2.50 g of the compound decomposes it completely according to MCO₃(s) → MO(s) + CO₂(g), leaving 1.40 g of the metal oxide.
(a) Calculate the mass of CO₂ released.
(b) Calculate the number of moles of CO₂ released.
(c) Determine the molar mass of MCO₃, and identify the metal M.
(d) Explain how the law of conservation of mass applies to this experiment.
