Answer:

- n_{Mg}=4.90molMg

- n_{Cl}=9.6molCl

- n_{O}=38.4molO

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, for the given 4.90 moles of magnesium perchlorate, we can compute the moles of each atom by identifying the subscript each atom has in the molecule as shown below:

- Moles of magnesium atoms: here, one mole of magnesium perchlorate has only one mole of magnesium atom (subscript is one), this the moles of magnesium atoms are also 4.90 moles.

- Moles of chlorine atoms: here, one mole of magnesium perchlorate has two moles of chlorine atoms as it has a two out of the parenthesis enclosing the perchlorate anion, thus, we have:

n_{Cl}=4.80molMg(ClO_4)_2*\frac{2molCl}{1molMg(ClO_4)_2} =9.6molCl

- Moles of oxygen atoms: here, one mole of magnesium perchlorate has eight moles of oxygen atoms as it has a four in the oxygen subscript and a two out of the parenthesis enclosing the perchlorate anion, thus, we have:

n_{O}=4.80molMg(ClO_4)_2*\frac{8molO}{1molMg(ClO_4)_2} =38.4molO

Best regards.

Answer:

 4.90  moles of  Mg(ClO_4)_2   will produce  (9.8) moles of  Cl^{-} ,

                                                    (4.90) moles of Mg^{2+} and

                                                    (39.2) moles of  O^{2-}

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

  The number of moles of  is  n =  4.90  \ mols

The formation reaction of Mg(ClO_4)_2  is

             Mg^{2+} + 2 Cl^{-} + 8O^{2+} \to Mg(ClO_4)_2  

From the reaction we see that

   1 mole of  Mg(ClO_4)_2  is formed by 2 moles of Cl^{-} 1 mole of  Mg^{2+} and 4  O^{2-}

 This implies that

   4.90  moles of  Mg(ClO_4)_2   will produce  (2 * 4.90) moles of  Cl^{-} ,

                                                    (1 * 4.90) moles of Mg^{2+} and

                                                    (8 * 4.90) moles of  O^{2-}

So

  4.90  moles of  Mg(ClO_4)_2   will produce  (9.8) moles of  Cl^{-} ,

                                                    (4.90) moles of Mg^{2+} and

                                                    (39.2) moles of  O^{2-}

Rewrite the equation below using the correct conventions for stoichiometric coefficients. 2 BaCl2 + 2 H2SO4 → 2 BaSO4 + 4 HCl
vichka [17]

Answer:

BaCl2+H2SO4 \rightarrow BaSO4+2HCl

Explanation:

The given equation is:

2 BaCl2+2H2SO4 \rightarrow2BaSO4+4HCl

Based on the reaction stoichiometry:

2 moles of barium chloride (BaCl2) reacts with 2 moles of sulfuric acid (H2SO4) to form 2 moles of barium sulfate (BaSO4) and 4 moles of HCl

Although the reaction is balanced, the correct convention is to depict reactions in terms of the lowest molar ratio. Therefore the coefficients (2,2,4 and 4) can be divided by 2 to give:

BaCl2+H2SO4 \rightarrow BaSO4+2HCl

Metals react with oxygen to give oxides with the general formula MxOy. What is a balanced chemical equation for the reaction of
katovenus [111]

Answer: 4Fe+3O_2\rightarrow 2Fe_2O_3

Explanation:

For formation of a neutral ionic compound, the charges on cation and anion must be balanced. The cation is formed by loss of electrons by metals and anions are formed by gain of electrons by non metals.  

Here iron is having an oxidation state of +3 called as Fe^{3+} cation and oxide O^{2-} is an anion with oxidation state of -2. Thus they combine and their oxidation states are exchanged and written in simplest whole number ratios to give neutral Fe_2O_3.

According to the law of conservation of mass, mass can neither be created nor be destroyed. Thus the mass of products has to be equal to the mass of reactants. The number of atoms of each element has to be same on reactant and product side. Thus chemical equations are balanced.

2Fe+3O_2\rightarrow 2Fe_2O_3

Why neon is special from other chemical elements​
kupik [55]
Noble gases react very unwillingly, because the outermost shell of electrons orbiting the nucleus is full, giving these gases no incentive to swap electrons with other elements. As a result, there are very few compounds made with noble gases. Like its noble gas comrades, neon is odorless and colorless.
