Answer:

We will expect 4 moles of MgO to be formed (option b).

Explanation:

Step 1: The balanced equation

2Mg + O2 → 2MgO

Step 2: Data given

Number of moles of Magnesium = 4 moles

Oxygen = in excess  → this means Magnesium is the limiting reactant

Magnesium will completely be consumed ( 4 moles). There will remain 0 moles.

For 2 moles of magnesium consumed, we need 1 mole of oxygen to produce 2 moles of MgO.

For 4 moles of magnesium, we need 4/2 = 2 moles of oxygen.

For 4  moles of magnesium, we will produce 4/1 = 4 moles of MgO

We will expect 4 moles of MgO to be formed (option b).

Iodine chloride, ICl, can be made by the following reaction between iodine, I2, potassium iodate, KIO3, and hydrochloric acid.
Vadim26 [7]
The balanced chemical reaction is:

<span>2 I2 + KIO3 + 6 HCl ---------> 5 ICl + KCl + 3 H2O 
</span>
We are given the amount of the product to be produced from the reaction. This will be the starting point of our calculations.

28.6 g ICl (1 mol / 162.35 g ICl ) ( 2 mol I2 / 5 mol ICl ) ( 253.81 g I2 / 1 mol I2 ) = 17.88 g I2

Which group of extremophiles does thermus aquaticus belong to
Elan Coil [88]

Answer:

The correct answer is thermophiles.

Explanation:

Thermus aquaticus are heat resistant bacteria because these bacteria can survive under adverse environmental conditions like high temperature.

These bacteria belong to one of the most heat-loving groups of extremophiles that are thermophiles. Thermophiles are present in volcanic soil, geysers and around deep-sea vents where the temperature is extremely high.

Thermus aquaticus bacteria is used to manufacture an enzyme called Taq DNA polymerase, which is heat resistant and also an important factor in molecular biology.
