Answer:

Explanation:

"Alkali metals are among the most reactive of all metals, which makes them suitable for specific and limited uses.

Alkali metals include lithium, sodium, potassium, rubidium, cesium and francium. These metals have large atomic radii and generally lose electrons during reactions. "

Two moles of magnesium (Mg) and five moles of oxygen (O2) are placed in a reaction vessel. When magnesium is ignited, it reacts

SOVA2 [1]

Answer:

$\boxed{\text{Mg is the limiting reactant}}$

Explanation:

We are given the amounts of two reactants, so this is a limiting reactant problem.

We know that we will need moles, so, lets assemble the data in one place.

2Mg + O₂ ⟶ 2MgO

n/mol: 2 5

Calculate the moles of MgO we can obtain from each reactant.

From Mg:

The molar ratio of MgO:Mg is 2:2

$\text{Moles of MgO} = \text{2 mol Mg} \times \dfrac{\text{2 mol MgO}}{\text{2 mol Mg}} = \text{2 mol MgO}$

From O₂:

The molar ratio of MgO:O₂ is 2:1.

$\text{Moles of MgO} = \text{5 mol O}_{2} \times \dfrac{\text{2 mol MgO}}{\text{1 mol O}_{2}} = \text{10 mol MgO}\\\\\boxed{\textbf{Mg is the limiting reactant}} \text{ because it gives the smaller amount of MgO}$
