1 answer:

5 0

Geothermal energy is not used more often because it's hard to find geothermal energy sources that are close to the surface (Option A).

<h3>What is Geothermal energy?</h3>

Geothermal energy is a special type of sustainable renewable source of clean energy that emerges from thermal (temperature) differences on the Earth, e.g., within geysers and similar geological formations.

In conclusion, geothermal energy is not used more often because it's hard to find geothermal energy sources that are close to the surface (Option A).

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

[RxN - Unbalanced] Mg (s) + HCl (aq) → MgCl (aq) + H₂ (g)

↓

[RxN - Balanced] 2Mg (s) + 2HCl (aq) → 2MgCl (aq) + H₂ (g)

[Given] 3.25 mol Mg

[Solve] x g HCl

<u>Step 2: Identify Conversions</u>

[RxN] 2 mol Mg → 2 mol HCl

[PT] Molar Mass of H - 1.01 g/mol

[PT] Molar Mass of Cl - 35.45 g/mol

Molar Mass of HCl - 1.01 + 35.45 = 36.46 g/mol

<u>Step 3: Stoich</u>

[S - DA] Set up: $\displaystyle 3.25 \ mol \ Mg(\frac{2 \ mol \ HCl}{2 \ mol \ Mg})(\frac{36.46 \ g \ HCl}{1 \ mol \ HCl})$
[S - DA] Multiply/Divide [Cancel out units]: $\displaystyle 127.61 \ g \ HCl$
