After mg ribbon is reacted completely with air, what is the reason to add some water and heat?

1 answer:

3 0

The reason why some water and heat are added after Mg ribbon is reacted completely with air is to remove Mg3N2 as MgO.

Combustion reaction is a reaction in which a substance is completely burnt in oxygen. Magnesium ribbon can be converted to magnesium oxide by combustion in air.

The reaction is as follows; 2Mg(s) + O2 ----> 2MgO(s)

Since air contains nitrogen, Mg3N2 is also formed. Heat and water can be added to the reaction thereby converting magnesium nitride to magnesium oxide.

Determine the correct set of coefficients to balance the chemical equation. __c6h6(l) + __o2(g)? __co2(g) + __h2o(g)

forsale [732]

To balance this equation, first we should consider balancing C because it only presents in one reactant and one product. Assuming the coefficient of C6H6 is 1, there are 6 C's in the reactant, so it generates 6CO2. Then consider balancing H for the same reason. If the coefficient of C6H6 is 1, there are 6 H's in the reactant, so it generates 3H2O.
Now that the coefficient of the products are determined, we can balance O. There are 6*2=12 O's in CO2 and 3*1=3 O's in H2O. So the total number of O in the products is 12+3 = 15. O2 is the only reactant that contains O, so to balance the equation, the coefficient of O2 should be 15/2.
Now the equation looks like:
C6H6 + 15/2O2 ⇒ 6CO2 + 3H2O.
Times both sides of the equation by 2 results the final answer:
2C6H6 + 15O2 ⇒ 12CO2 + 6H2O

Answer:

32.6%

Explanation:

Equation of reaction

2KClO₃ (s) → 2KCl (s) + 3O₂ (g)

Molar mass of 2KClO₃ = 245.2 g/mol ( 122.6 × 2)

Molar volume of Oxygen at s.t.p = 22.4L / mol

since the gas was collected over water,
