When 16.3 g of magnesium and 4.52 g of oxygen gas react, how many grams of magnesium oxide will be formed? Identify the limiting
Tanzania [10]

Answer:

22.77 g.

he limiting reactant is O₂, and the excess reactant is Mg.

Explanation:

  • From the balanced reaction:

<em>Mg + 1/2O₂ → MgO,</em>

1.0 mole of Mg reacts with 0.5 mole of oxygen to produce 1.0 mole of MgO.

  • We need to calculate the no. of moles of (16.3 g) of Mg and (4.52 g) of oxygen:

no. of moles of Mg = mass/molar mass = (16.3 g)/(24.3 g/mol) = 0.6708 mol.

no. of moles of O₂ = mass/molar mass = (4.52 g)/(16.0 g/mol) = 0.2825 mol.

So. 0.565 mol of Mg reacts completely with (0.2825 mol) of O₂.

<em>∴ The limiting reactant is O₂, and the excess reactant is Mg (0.6708 - 0.565 = 0.1058 mol).</em>

<u><em>Using cross multiplication:</em></u>

1.0 mole of Mg produce → 1.0 mol of MgO.

∴ 0.565 mol of Mg produce → <em>0.565 mol of MgO.</em>

<em>∴ The amount of MgO produced = no. of moles x molar mass </em>= (0.565 mol)(40.3 g/mol) = <em>22.77 g.</em>

Is Kool-Aid (only the powder) and sugar a mixture?
mars1129 [50]

Kool-Aid itself is actually a mixture of sugar, water, dye, and flavoring. So when we add our sugar crystals, the water molecules and sugar molecules in the Kool-Aid will come in contact with the surface of our pure sugar crystals.

plz mark me as brainliest :)

2Al (s) + 3Cl2 (g) --&gt; 2AlCl3 (s) (balanced)
Triss [41]

Answer:

Percent yield = 65.2 %

Explanation:

The reaction determines this:

2 moles of Al react to 3 moles of chlorine gas in order to produce 2 mol of aluminum chloride.

We determine the moles of chlorine:

52 g . 1mol /70.9g = 0.733 moles of Cl₂

3 moles of gas can produce 2 moles of salt

Then, our 0.733 moles may produce (0.733 . 2) / 3 = 0.489 moles of AlCl₃

We convert moles to mass to predict the 100 % yield

0.489 mol . 133.3 g /mol = 65.19 g

Percent yield = (Yield produced / 100 % yield) . 100

Percent yield = (42.5 g / 65.19g) . 100 = 65.2 %
