Its inorganic as MgCO3 is contains no carbon more hydrogen which is a crutial component of all organic compounds
between two oppositely charged ions
Answer:
30.8 grams of magnesium hydroxide will form from this reaction, and magnesium nitrate is the limiting reagent.
Explanation:
The reaction that takes place is:
- 2NaOH + Mg(NO₃)₂ → 2NaNO₃ + Mg(OH)₂
Now we <u>convert the given masses of reactants to moles</u>, using their respective <em>molar masses</em>:
- 68.3 g NaOH ÷ 40 g/mol = 1.71 mol NaOH
- 78.3 g Mg(NO₃)₂ ÷ 148.3 g/mol = 0.528 mol Mg(NO₃)₂
0.528 moles of Mg(NO₃)₂ would react completely with (0.528 * 2) 1.056 moles of NaOH. There are more than enough NaOH moles, so NaOH is the reagent in excess and <em>Mg(NO₃)₂ is the limiting reagent.</em>
Now we <u>calculate how many Mg(OH)₂ are produced</u>, using the <em>moles of the limiting reagent</em>:
- 0.528 mol Mg(NO₃)₂ *
= 0.528 mol Mg(OH)₂
Finally we convert Mg(OH)₂ moles to grams:
- 0.528 mol Mg(OH)₂ * 58.32 g/mol = 30.8 g
<span>A chemical bond is a lasting attraction between atoms, ions or molecules that enables the formation of chemical compounds. The bond may result from the electrostatic force of attraction between oppositely charged ions as in ionic bonds; or through the sharing of electrons as in covalent bonds. The strength of chemical bonds varies considerably; there are "strong bonds" or "primary bond" such as metallic, covalent or ionic bonds and "weak bonds" or "secondary bond" such as Dipole-dipole interaction, the London dispersion force and hydrogen bonding.</span>
It defines the element. If you change the protons, you change the type of element. A proton is positively charged and is most of the mass of the atom, next to the neutron. Neutrons have a very very very slightly higher mass.
