Which best describes how magnesium (Mg) and oxygen (O) bond?

Ksivusya [100]

Answer:

a

They form an ionic bond by exchanging two electrons.

Explanation:

Magnesium loses two electrons and oxygen gains these electrons so ionic bond is formed

Gaseous methane (CH4) reacts with gaseous oxygen gas (02) to produce gaseous carbon dioxide (CO2) and gaseous water (H20). What

Mariana [72]

Answer:

Theoretical yield = 3.51 g

Explanation:

The formula for the calculation of moles is shown below:

$moles = \frac{Mass\ taken}{Molar\ mass}$

For $CH_4$ :-

Mass of $CH_4$ = 1.28 g

Molar mass of $CH_4$ = 16.04 g/mol

The formula for the calculation of moles is shown below:

$moles = \frac{Mass\ taken}{Molar\ mass}$

Thus,

$Moles= \frac{1.28\ g}{16.04\ g/mol}$

$Moles_{CH_4}= 0.0798\ mol$

For $O_2$ :-

Mass of $O_2$ = 10.1 g

Molar mass of $O_2$ = 31.998 g/mol

The formula for the calculation of moles is shown below:

$moles = \frac{Mass\ taken}{Molar\ mass}$

Thus,

$Moles= \frac{10.1\ g}{31.998\ g/mol}$

$Moles_{O_2}= 0.3156\ mol$

According to the given reaction:

$CH_4+2O_2\rightarrow CO_2+2H_2O$

1 mole of methane gas reacts with 2 moles of oxygen gas

0.0798 mole of methane gas reacts with 2*0.0798 moles of oxygen gas

Moles of oxygen gas = 0.1596 moles

Available moles of oxygen gas = 0.3156 moles

<u>Limiting reagent is the one which is present in small amount. Thus, $CH_4$ is limiting reagent. </u>

The formation of the product is governed by the limiting reagent. So,

1 mole of methane gas on reaction produces 1 mole of carbon dioxide.

0.0798 mole of methane gas on reaction produces 0.0798 mole of carbon dioxide.

Mole of carbon dioxide = 0.0798 mole

Molar mass of carbon dioxide = 44.01 g/mol

The formula for the calculation of moles is shown below:

$moles = \frac{Mass\ taken}{Molar\ mass}$

Thus,

$0.0798\ moles= \frac{Mass}{44.01\ g/mol}$

Mass of $CO_2$ = 3.51 g

<u> Theoretical yield = 3.51 g</u>

Write the coefficients for the reactant and product.

balu736 [363]

<h3>Answer:</h3>

2C₂H₆ + 7O₂ → 4CO₂ + 6H₂O

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

The equation for the reaction shown represents the combustion of ethane.

C₂H₆ + O₂ → CO₂ + H₂O

To balance the equation we put the coefficients, 2, 7, 4, and 6 on the reactants and products.

2C₂H₆ + 7O₂ → 4CO₂ + 6H₂O

Balancing chemical equations makes the number of atoms of each element equal on both side of the equation.

It ensures that chemical equations obey the law of conservation of mass in chemical reactions.
