When you form the final chemical equation, what should you do with CO?

Cancel out CO because it appears as a reactant in one intermediate reaction and a product in the other intermediate reaction. Add the two CO molecules together, and write them as reactants in the final chemical reaction.

Explanation:

hope this helped also can u help me choose a pfp which one

"you start with 15.67 g mgco3-xh2o, when heated and all the water is removed, you are left with 7.58 g mgco3 only.

therefore, you had 15.67 - 7.58 = 8.09g h2o  

moles of each :

7.58g mgco3 = ? moles = 7.58g / 83.4g/mole = 0.09moles  

8 09g h2o = ? moles = 8.09g / 18g/mole = 0.44moles  

molar ratio between the two by dividing both numbers by the smallest number :

0.09 / 0.09 = 1  

0.44 / 0.09 = 4.8  

mgco3-5h2o"

lol idk man i guess u gotta ask bill nye the science guy
