Answer:
Mass = 14.3 g
Explanation:
Given data:
Mass of Mg(OH)₂ = 16.0 g
Mass of HCl = 11.0 g
Mass of MgCl₂ = ?
Solution:
Chemical equation:
Mg(OH)₂ + 2HCl → MgCl₂ + 2H₂O
Number of moles of Mg(OH)₂ :
Number of moles = mass/ molar mass
Number of moles = 16.0 g/ 58.3 g/mol
Number of moles = 0.274 mol
Number of moles of HCl :
Number of moles = mass/ molar mass
Number of moles = 11.0 g/ 36.5 g/mol
Number of moles = 0.301 mol
Now we will compare the moles of Mg(OH)₂ and HCl with MgCl₂.
Mg(OH)₂ : MgCl₂
1 : 1
0.274 : 0.274
HCl : MgCl₂
2 : 1
0.301 : 1/2×0.301 = 0.150
The number of moles of MgCl₂ produced by HCl are less so it will limiting reactant.
Mass of MgCl₂:
Mass = number of moles × molar mass
Mass = 0.150 × 95 g/mol
Mass = 14.3 g
You can differentiate between ionic, covalent and molecular compounds by the fact that ionic compounds contain elements that include both a metal and a nonmetal. Molecular compounds contain both non metals covalently bonded to each other. While acids most often on their chemical formula start with the element of Hydrogen - H.
For Eg - sulphuric acid
H2SO4
hydrochloric acid - HCl.
