Answer:

D.) magnesium and sulphur

Explanation:

Generally, ionic bonds form between a metal and a nonmetal.

Generally, covalent bonds form between two nonmetals.

Generally, metallic bonds form between two metals.

Nonmetals are located on the right side of the periodic table (apart from the noble gases in the final column). Hydrogen is also a nonmetal. Metals are every other element in the periodic table.

A.) Hydrogen (nonmetal) and carbon (nonmetal) = covalent

B.) Aluminum (metal) and magnesium (metal) = metallic

C.) Silicon (nonmetal) and chlorine (nonmetal) = covalent

D.) Magnesium (metal) and sulphur (nonmetal) = ionic

aksik [14]

<u>Answer:</u> The amount of carbon dioxide gas produced in the reaction is 83.6 grams

<u>Explanation:</u>

As, some amount of oxygen gas is left after the reaction is completed. So, it is present in excess and is considered as an excess reagent.

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

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

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

Given mass of carbon = 22.8 g

Molar mass of carbon = 12 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\text{Moles of carbon}=\frac{22.8g}{12g/mol}=1.9mol$

The chemical equation for the reaction of carbon and oxygen gas follows:

$C+O_2\rightarrow CO_2$

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

1 mole of carbon produces 1 mole of carbon dioxide gas

So, 1.9 moles of carbon will produce = $\frac{1}{1}\times 1.9=1.9moles$ of carbon dioxide gas

Now, calculating the mass of carbon dioxide from equation 1, we get:

Molar mass of carbon dioxide = 44 g/mol

Moles of carbon dioxide = 1.9 moles

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$1.9mol=\frac{\text{Mass of carbon dioxide}}{44g/mol}\\\\\text{Mass of carbon dioxide}=(1.9mol\times 44g/mol)=83.6g$

Hence, the amount of carbon dioxide gas produced in the reaction is 83.6 grams

The process by which gasses spontaneously move from an are with higher concentration to one of lower concentration is called diffusion. This process mainly occurs in gases and liquids. The end result of diffusion is called dynamic equilibrium. It is a complete mixing of the molecules of the gas.

Answer:

Round to the number of significant figures in the original question. However, if you're going to proceed with further calculations using this mass, it's best not to round, as rounding will cause your answer to be less precise.
