The chemical equation without coefficients is:


Ca + CO2 + O2 --------> Ca CO3


You can balance that equation by trial an error.


This is the chemical equation balanced:


2Ca + 2CO2 + O2 --------> 2Ca CO3


Count the atoms on each side to check the balance


Atom    Left side         right side

Ca         2                     2 

C           2                     2

O          2*2 + 2 = 6       2*3 = 6


Then those are the coefficients:

a0 = 2

a1 = 2

a2 = 1

a3 = 2

14.7 grams of magnesium reacts completely with 9.7 grams of oxygen to form magnesium oxide (MgO). What is the percent compositio
swat32
The answer is 60.3% magnesium, 39.7% oxygen.
Solution:
The chemical equation for the reaction is 2 Mg + O2 → 2 MgO.
Since magnesium reacts completely with oxygen, it is the limiting reactant in the reaction. Hence, we can use the number of moles of magnesium to get the mass of MgO produced:
     moles of magnesium = 14.7g / 24.305g mol-1
                                       = 0.6048 mol

     mass of MgO = 0.6048mol Mg(2 mol MgO/2mol Mg)(40.3044g MgO/1 mol MgO) 
                           = 24.376g MgO

We can now solve for the percentage of magnesium:
     % Mg = (14.7g Mg / 24.376g MgO)*100% = 60.3%

We also use the number of moles of magnesium to get the mass of oxygen consumed in the reaction:
     mass of O2 =  0.6048 mol Mg (1mol O2 / 2mol Mg) (31.998g / 1mol O2) 
                        = 9.676g

The percentage of oxygen is therefore
     % O2 = (9.676g O2 / 24.376g MgO)*100%
               = 39.7%
Notice that we can just subtract the magnesium's percentage from 100% to get 
     % O2 = 100% - 60.3% = 39.7%

A possible mechanism for the gas phase reaction of NO and H2 is as follows: Step 1 2NO N2O2 Step 2 N2O2 + H2 N2O + H2O Step 3 N2
mel-nik [20]

Answer: Option (d) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Steps involved for the given reaction will be as follows.

Step 1: 2NO \Leftrightarrow N_{2}O_{2}    (fast)

Rate expression for step 1 is as follows.

               Rate = k [NO]^{2}

Step 2: N_{2}O_{2} + H_{2} \rightarrow N_{2}O + H_{2}O

This step 2 is a slow step. Hence, it is a rate determining step.

Step 3. N_{2}O + H_{2} \rightarrow N_{2} + H_{2}O    (fast)

Here, N_{2}O_{2} is intermediate in nature.

All the steps are bimolecular and it is a second order reaction. Also, there is no catalyst present in this reaction.

Thus, we can conclude that the statement step 1 is the rate determining step, concerning this mechanism is not directly supported by the information provided.
