Burning a magnesium ribbon in the air is an addition reaction while heating potassium manganate 7 is a decomposition reaction.

<h3>Addition and decomposition reactions</h3>

Magnesium burns in air to produce magnesium oxide as follows:

2Mg + O_2 --- > 2MgO

Potassium manganate 7 burns to produce multiple products as follows:

2 KMnO_4 --- > K_2MnO_4 + MnO_2(s) + O_2

Thus, the MgO will be heavier than Mg. On the other hand, MnO_2 will be less heavy than KMnO_4.

Brut [27]
I think the best answer from the choices listed above is option B. The best graduated cylinder for this case is the glass cylinder. A metal cylinder is not possible because you cannot measure really since metals are not transparent. A plastic cylinder cannot also be used since the substance should be heated for the experiment.

Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Balanced equation :

Cu(NO₃)₂(aq) + 2KOH(aq) → Cu(OH)₂(s)  + 2KNO₃(aq)

Balancing a chemical equation :

A chemical equation shows us the substances involved in a chemical reaction - the substances that react (reactants) and the substances that are produced (products). In general, a chemical equation looks like this:

                                 Reactant →Product

According to the law of conservation of mass, when a chemical reaction occurs, the mass of the products should be equal to the mass of the reactants. Therefore, the amount of the atoms in each element does not change in the chemical reaction. As a result, the chemical equation that shows the chemical reaction needs to be balanced. A balanced chemical equation occurs when the number of the atoms involved in the reactants side is equal to the number of atoms in the products side.

n a gas-phase equilibrium mixture of SbCl5, SbCl3, and Cl2 at 500 K, pSbCl5 = 0.17 bar and pSbCl3 = 0.22 bar. Calculate the equi
Lorico [155]

Answer:

2.7 × 10⁻⁴ bar

Explanation:

Let's consider the following reaction at equilibrium.

SbCl₅(g) ⇄ SbCl₃(g) + Cl₂(g)

The pressure equilibrium constant (Kp) is 3.5 × 10⁻⁴. We can use these data and the partial pressures at equilibrium of SbCl₅ and SbCl₃, to find the partial pressure at equilibrium of Cl₂.

Kp = pSbCl₃ × pCl₂ / pSbCl₅

pCl₂ = Kp × pSbCl₅ / pSbCl₃

pCl₂ = 3.5 × 10⁻⁴ × 0.17 / 0.22

pCl₂ = 2.7 × 10⁻⁴ bar

Liquid hexane
maks197457 [2]

<u>Answer:</u> The mass of H_2O produced is 2.52 g

<u>Explanation:</u>

The number of moles is defined as the ratio of the mass of a substance to its molar mass.  The equation used is:

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}} ......(1)

  • <u>For hexane:</u>

Given mass of hexane = 1.72 g

Molar mass of hexane = 86.18 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

\text{Moles of hexane}=\frac{1.72g}{86.18g/mol}=0.020mol

  • <u>For oxygen gas:</u>

Given mass of oxygen gas = 8.0 g

Molar mass of oxygen gas= 32 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

\text{Moles of water}=\frac{8.0g}{32g/mol}=0.25mol

The chemical equation for the combustion of hexane follows:

2C_6H_{14}+19O_2\rightarrow 12CO_2+14H_2O

By stoichiometry of the reaction:

If 2 moles of hexane reacts with 19 moles of oxygen gas

So, 0.020 moles of hexane will react with = \frac{19}{2}\times 0.020=0.19mol of oxygen gas

As the given amount of oxygen gas is more than the required amount. Thus, it is present in excess and is considered as an excess reagent.

Thus, hexane is considered a limiting reagent because it limits the formation of the product.

By the stoichiometry of the reaction:

If 2 moles of hexane produces 14 moles of H_2O

So, 0.020 moles of hexane will produce = \frac{14}{2}\times 0.020=0.14mol of H_2O

We know, molar mass of H_2O = 18 g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\text{Mass of }H_2O=(0.14mol\times 18g/mol)=2.52g

Hence, the mass of H_2O produced is 2.52 g
