When 84G of magnesium carbonate was heated 40G of magnesium oxide was collected why did the mas go down?

MgCO3 ---> MgO + CO2.
Carbon dioxide is the byproduct and the lost mass corresponds to the weight of carbon dioxide lost.

Magnesium carbonate when heated?
if mixed with air it explodes with a bus off light i did it in science last week 31/10/08 stefan rabicano
What happens when you magnesium is heated in air?
Magnesium's mass increases as it becomes magnesium oxide.
What gas do you get when you heat magnesium oxide?
When magnesium oxide is sufficiently heated, oxygen gas is evolved.
What is the word equation for the reaction between magnesium carbonate and sulfuric acid?
magnesium carbonate + sulfuric acid = magnesium oxide= carbon dioxide
What happens to the mass when magnesium is heated in air?
When magnesium is heated in air, it forms magnesium oxide and so the total mass increases.
What happens to magnesium carbonate copper carbonate zinc carbonate and calcium carbonate when they are heated?
They form magnesium oxide, copper oxide etc. and will form carbon dioxide as a byproduct.

What substance is remaining when magnesium carbonate powder is heated Also why does the mass change Thanks?
Magnesium oxide. Carbon dioxide is released as agas.
Heated magnesium carbonate breaks down to form magnesium oxide and carbon dioxide. explain how one substance can react to form two new substances while still observing the law of mass conservation?
The mass of magnesium carbonate as reactant is equal to the sum of masses of magnesium oxide and carbon dioxide as products.
What compound is formed by magnesium and oxygen?
Magnesium oxide, MgO (base). It is a form of rust.
What is the difference in mixing magnesium oxide with sulfuric acid than mixing magnesium carbonate with sulfuric acid?
Magnesium Oxide and Magnesium Carbonate are very different, Magnesium Oxide is Magnesium fused with Oxygen whereas Magnesium Carbonate is Magnesium fused with Carbon and Oxygen. The suffix "ate" means that an oxygen atom is involved. This added element (carbon) means that there will be a slight change in product. The chemical formula for Magnesium carbonate is MgCO3 whereas Magnesium oxide is MgO. See how there are two extra oxygens and one extra carbon? Add them together and you have CO2 and this is your difference. The difference in mixing magnesium oxide with sulfuric acid rather than mixing magnesium carbonate with sulfuric acid is that sulfuric acid and Magnesium carbonate create CO2 whereas Magnesium Oxide and sulfuric acid do not.
What is the product of carbon dioxide gas and magnesium oxide?
Magnesium carbonate
What happens when you magnesium is heated in air?
Magnesium's mass increases as it becomes magnesium oxide.
What gas do you get when you heat magnesium oxide?
When magnesium oxide is sufficiently heated, oxygen gas is evolved.
What solid is formed when magnesium carbonate is formed?
Magnesium oxide is formed, i think(:
What is the word equation for the reaction between magnesium carbonate and sulfuric acid?
magnesium carbonate + sulfuric acid = magnesium oxide= carbon dioxide
What are the products of thermal decomposition of magnesium carbonate?
magnesium oxide, water and carbon dioxide
