Balanced equation: Mg+2HCl=MgCl2 + H2
Showing that if Mg is not a limiting factor then 2 moles of HCl on complete reaction liberate 1 mole of Hydrogen
therefore:
1 mole of HCl=35.5g, 40g=x
X= 40/35.5= 1.127mole
2 moles of HCl = 1 moles of Hydrogen
1.127=X
X=1.127/2 = 0.56
the theoretical yield of hydrogen
Answer:
6Br⁻ + XeO₃ + 6H⁺ → 3Br₂ + Xe + 3H₂O
Explanation:
First, we need to write the half-reactions:
2Br⁻ → Br₂ + 2e⁻ Oxidation -Balanced yet-
XeO₃ → Xe Reduction
To balance the reduction in acidic aqueous solution we need to add waters in the other side of the reaction as oxygens are present:
XeO₃ → Xe + 3H₂O
And H⁺ as hydrogens from water we have:
XeO₃ + 6H⁺ → Xe + 3H₂O
To balance the charge:
<h3>XeO₃ + 6H⁺ + 6e⁻ → Xe + 3H₂O Reduction -Balanced-</h3><h3 />
To cancel out the electrons of both half-reaction we need to multiply oxidation 3 times:
6Br⁻ → 3Br₂ + 6e⁻
XeO₃ + 6H⁺ + 6e⁻ → Xe + 3H₂O
And the balanced reaction in acidic aqueous solution is the sum of both half-reactions:
<h3>6Br⁻ + XeO₃ + 6H⁺ → 3Br₂ + Xe + 3H₂O </h3>
Answer:
The reaction must be spontaneous, the disorder of the system increases.
Explanation:
By the Second Law of Thermodynamics, a positive change in entropy is due to a net input heat, and entropy is a measure of the grade of disorder within the system. The net input heat means that resultant goes to the system from the surroundings.
By the First Law of Thermodynamics, a net input heat is due to a positive change in enthalpy.
The reaction is endothermic and spontaneous (since change in entropy is positive).
