Magnesium (used in the manufacture of light alloys) reacts with iron(III) chloride to form magnesium chloride and iron. 3Mg(s) +

2FeCl₃(s) → 3MgCl₂(s) + 2Fe(s) A mixture of 41.0 g of magnesium ( = 24.31 g/mol) and 175 g of iron(III) chloride ( = 162.2 g/mol) is allowed to react. Identify the limiting reactant and determine the mass of the excess reactant present in the vessel when the reaction is complete.

Answer:

Theanswer to your question is:

Limiting reactant = FeCl₃

Excess reactant = 1.66 g of Mg

Explanation:

Data

Mg = 41 g   = 24.31 g/mol

FeCl₃ = 175 g = 162.2 g/mol

                         3Mg(s) + 2FeCl₃(s) → 3MgCl₂(s) + 2Fe(s)

                      3(24.31) of Mg ------------------  2(162.2)  of FeCl₃

                      72.93 g of Mg ------------------ 324.4 g of FeCl₃

Theoretical Proportion = 324.4/72.93 = 4.44

Practical proportion   =  175 / 41 = 4.2

As the proportion disminishes the limiting reactant is FeCl₃.

Excess reactant

                               72.93 g of Mg ------------------ 324.4 g of FeCl₃

                                   x -------------------------           175 g of FeCl₃

x = (175 x 72.93) / 324.4

x = 39.34 g of Mg

Excess = 41 - 39.34

           = 1.66 g of Mg

What are rarefactions and compressions of sound waves?
Arada [10]
Compression and rarefaction. However instead of crests and troughs, longitudinal waves have compressions and rarefactions. A compression is a region in a longitudinal wave where the particles are closest together. A rarefaction is a region in a longitudinal wave where the particles are furthest apart.

"how many fold difference is the hydrogen ion concentration if the ph is 6.7 is increased to 8.7"
Nina [5.8K]

pH of the solution is calculated using the following formula:

pH=-log{[H^{+}]}

Here, [H^{+}] is concentration of hydrogen ion.

Initial value of pH is 6.7, calculate concentration of hydrogen ion from this as follows:

[H^{+}]=10^{-pH}

Putting the value,

[H^{+}]=10^{-6.7}=1.9952\times 10^{-7}

Thus, initial concentration of hydrogen ion is 1.9952\times 10^{-7}.

Now, final pH value is 8.7, calculate concentration of hydrogen ion as follows:

[H^{+}]=10^{-8.7}=1.9952\times 10^{-9}

Thus, final concentration of hydrogen ion is 1.9952\times 10^{-9}.

The ratio of final to initial value will be:

\frac{1.9952\times 10^{-9}}{1.9952\times 10^{-7}}=\frac{1}{100}

Thus, if pH increases from 6.7 to 8.7, concentration of hydrogen ion becomes \frac{1}{100} of the initial value.

a car traveling at a speed of 30.0 m/s encounters an emergency and comes to a complete stop. how much time will it take for the
ivanzaharov [21]
It will take 7.5 s for the car to stop.

One of the acceleration formulas is 

v_{f} =  v_{i} +at, where

v_{f} is the final velocity,
v_{i} is the initial velocity,
a is the acceleration, and
t is the time.

0 = 30.0 m·s⁻¹ + (-4.0 m·s⁻²)t

4.0 s⁻¹ t = 30.0

t = \frac{30.0}{ 4.0 \text s^{-1}}= 7.5 s

What is the percent yield of alum if 0.4000 grams of aluminum is used in the synthesis of alum and 4.8946 grams of alum is actua
slamgirl [31]
% yield = actual yield/ theoretical yield x 100%

4.8946 / 0.4 = 12.2365 

% yield = 12.2365 x 100 = 1223.65%
