Taking into account the reaction stoichiometry, 2.13 grams of magnesium was dissolved in the solution.

<h3>Reaction stoichiometry</h3>

In first place, the balanced reaction is:

Mg²⁺(aq) + Na₂CO₃(aq) → MgCO₃(s) + 2 Na⁺(aq)

By reaction stoichiometry (that is, the relationship between the amount of reagents and products in a chemical reaction), the following amounts of moles of each compound participate in the reaction:

Mg²⁺: 1 mole
Na₂CO₃: 1 mole
MgCO₃: 1 mole
Na⁺: 2 moles

The molar mass of the compounds is:

Mg²⁺: 24.3 g/mole
Na₂CO₃: 106 g/mole
MgCO₃: 84.3 g/mole
Na⁺: 23 g/mole

Then, by reaction stoichiometry, the following mass quantities of each compound participate in the reaction:

Mg²⁺: 1 mole ×24.3 g/mole= 24.3 grams
Na₂CO₃: 1 mole ×106 g/mole= 106 grams
MgCO₃: 1 mole ×84.3 g/mole=84.3 grams
Na⁺: 2 moles ×23 g/mole= 46 grams

<h3>Mass of magnesium dissolved</h3>

The following rule of three can be applied: If by reaction stoichiometry 1 mole of Na₂CO₃ react with 24.3 grams of magnesium, 0.0877 moles of Na₂CO₃ react with how much mass of magnesium?

$mass of magnesium=\frac{0.0877 moles of Na_{2}C O_{3}x24.3 grams of magnesium }{1 mole of Na_{2}C O_{3}}$

<u><em>mass of magnesium= 2.13 grams</em></u>

Finally, 2.13 grams of magnesium was dissolved in the solution.

rodikova [14]

Answer:

Honey is an homogeneous mixture

Salsa is an heterogeneous mixture

Explanation:

Honey is a sweet uniformly colored liquid that can be of a dark variety or of clear golden color. Honey is made in nature by bees from flower nectar and is used as a food additive or sweetener

Honey is a homogeneous mixture because the concentration of the components of honey are uniformly distributed throughout the mixture. Every portion has the same concentration of components

Salsa is a sauce made by mixing chopped tomatoes, onions, chilies, lime juice and seasoning and therefore consists of both solid and liquid components mixed in varying proportion such that part will have continuous that comes in between different types of solid and no two parts have exactly the same composition

Therefore, salsa is an heterogenous liquid.

The air bags in cars are inflated when a collision triggers the explosive, highly exothermic decomposition of sodium azide (NaN3

Oksanka [162]

Answer : The mass of $NaN_3$ required is, 166.4 grams.

Explanation :

First we have to calculate the moles of nitrogen gas.

Using ideal gas equation:

$PV=nRT$

where,

P = Pressure of $N_2$ gas = 1.00 atm

V = Volume of $N_2$ gas = 113 L

n = number of moles $N_2$ = ?

R = Gas constant = $0.0821L.atm/mol.K$

T = Temperature of $N_2$ gas = $85^oC=273+85=358K$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$1.00atm\times 113L=n\times (0.0821L.atm/mol.K)\times 358K$

$n=3.84mol$

Now we have to calculate the moles of sodium azide.

The balanced chemical reaction is,

$2NaN_3(s)\rightarrow 2Na(s)+3N_2(g)$

From the balanced reaction we conclude that

As, 3 mole of $N_2$ produced from 2 mole of $NaN_3$

So, 3.84 moles of $N_2$ produced from $\frac{2}{3}\times 3.84=2.56$ moles of $NaN_3$

Now we have to calculate the mass of $NaN_3$

$\text{ Mass of }NaN_3=\text{ Moles of }NaN_3\times \text{ Molar mass of }NaN_3$

Molar mass of $NaN_3$ = 65 g/mole

$\text{ Mass of }NaN_3=(2.56moles)\times (65g/mole)=166.4g$

Therefore, the mass of $NaN_3$ required is, 166.4 grams.

Which two properties are used to define matter?

Fantom [35]

The two properties which are used to define matter are that it has mass and it takes up space. The other properties do not necessarily apply to each matter. Such some matter can be a conductor of heat (such as metal) and some not (such as non metals). Likewise, some matter can be buoyant and float on liquid of density more than it but others would not on the liquids of density less than it. In-fact not all the matters are conductors of energy (such as heat, sound, electricity) or at-least a very poor conductor of energy and tend to find application as insulating agents (non conductors). So the only thing which is necessarily true is that the matter would definitely have mass in even their minutest form as atom and would take up some space.
