Mass of hydrogen gas formed from the given reaction is 0.05 grams and the limiting reactant is HCl.

Explanation:

Data given:

moles of Mg = 0.050 moles

moles of HCl = 0.050 moles

mass of hydrogen gas formed =?

atomic mass of hydrogen gas = 2 grams/mole

limiting reactant = ?

Balanced chemical equation is given by:

Mg (s) + 2HCl (aq) → H2 (g) + Mg $Cl_{2}$ (aq)

from the reaction let us deduce the limiting reagent as

1 mole of Mg gave 1 mole of hydrogen gas

0.050 moles will give 0.050 moles of hydrogen gas

mass of hydrogen gas = atomic mass x number of moles

mass of hydrogen gas = 2 x 0.050

= 0.1 grams of hydrogen gas produced.

Now from 2 moles of HCl 1 mole of hydrogen gas is formed

so, 0.050 moles of HCl will give x moles of hydrogen gas

$\frac{1}{2}$ = $\frac{x}{0.050}$

2x = 0.050

x = 0.025 moles

mass of hydrogen gas = atomic mass x number of moles

mass of hydrogen gas = 0.025 x 2

= 0.05 grams

mass = atomic mass x number of moles

The limiting reactant is HCl as it produced less amount of product after getting fully consumed in the reaction.

the product formed depends on the limiting reagent and the value is 0.05 grams.

Given the two half-reactions, what must be done in the next step before the reaction can be balanced? Au3+ --> Au I- --> I

Artyom0805 [142]

Answer:

The balance equation is

$2Au^{+3} + 6I^{-}$ → $2Au + 3I_{2}$

Explanation:

first, we have to make sure that the atoms are balanced

$Au^{+3}$ → $Au^{}$

$2I^{-}$ → $I_{2}$

then we proceed to balance charges of each half-reaction

$Au^{+3} + 3e^{-}$ → $Au^{}$

$2I^{-}$ → $I_{2}$ $+ 2e^{-}$

Now we multiply the half-reactions to match the number of electrons in each one

( $Au^{+3} + 3e^{-}$ → $Au^{}$ )x2

( $2I^{-}$ → $I_{2}$ $+ 2e^{-}$ )x3

and now we do the sum of the half-reactions

2 $Au^{+3} + 6e^{-}$ → 2 $Au^{}$

$6I^{-}$ → 3 $I_{2}$ $+ 6e^{-}$

$2Au^{+3} + 6I^{-}$ → $2Au + 3I_{2}$

note: the only atom that needed to be balanced was I

How would you find the volume of a regular object and irregular object?

Sveta_85 [38]

Answer:

You can find the volume of an irregular object by immersing it in water in a beaker or other container with volume markings, and by seeing how much the level goes up. Or by multiplying all the sides of the container. #markasbrainliest

A straight chain hydrocarbon with the formula C^3H^4 _____.

Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

has two double C-C bonds

Explanation:

A saturated compound is a compound having the full complement of hydrogen atoms for every carbon atom while an unsaturated compound does not contain the full complement of hydrogen atoms for every atom of carbon.

If we look at C3H4, the only possible structure of the compound is H2C=C=CH2. We can see from this arrangement that the compound contains a cumulative double bond. This is the specific structure that fits into one of the descriptions in the options, the compound contains two double bonds.
