Answer:
1.25mole of Mg(OH)₂
Explanation:
The reaction is between Mg(OH)₂ and HCl, this is a neutralization reaction between an acid and a base.
Mg(OH)₂ + 2HCl → MgCl₂ + 2H₂O
The balanced reaction equation is given above.
2 mole of HCl reacts with 1 mole of Mg(OH)₂
So, 2.5mole of HCl will react with = 1.25mole of Mg(OH)₂
The number of moles of Mg(OH)₂ is given as 1.25mol
Answer:
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Mass of aluminium oxide = 3.87g
Mass of water = 5.67g
Unknown:
Limiting reactant = ?
Solution:
The limiting reactant is the reactant in short supply in a chemical reaction. We need to first write the chemical equation and convert the masses given to the number of moles.
Using the number of moles, we can ascertain the limiting reactants;
Al₂O₃ + 3H₂O → 2Al(OH)₃
Number of moles;
Number of moles =
molar mass of Al₂O₃ = (2x27) + 3(16) = 102g/mole
number of moles = = 0.04mole
molar mass of H₂O = 2(1) + 16 = 18g/mole
number of moles = = 0.32mole
From the reaction equation;
1 mole of Al₂O₃ reacted with 3 moles of H₂O
0.04 mole of Al₂O₃ will react with 3 x 0.04 mole = 0.12 mole of H₂O
But we were given 0.32 mole of H₂O and this is in excess of amount required.
This shows that Al₂O₃ is the limiting reactant
