Answer:

1.57 mol; 3.14 mol

Explanation:

We have the amounts of two reactants, so this is a<em> limiting reactant problem</em>.  

We know that we will need a balanced equation with moles of the compounds involved.  

<em>Step 1</em>. <em>Gather all the information</em> in one place.

           Mg(ClO₃)₂ + 2NaOH ⟶ Mg(OH)₂ + 2NaClO₃

<em>n</em>/mol:      2.72             3.14

<em>Step 2</em>. Identify the <em>limiting reactant</em>

Calculate the moles of Mg(OH)₂ we can obtain from each reactant.  

<em>From Mg(ClO₃)₂</em>: The molar ratio of Mg(OH)₂: Mg(ClO₃)₂ is 1:1 .

Moles of Mg(OH)₂ = 2.72 × 1/1

Moles of Mg(OH)₂ = 2.72mol Mg(OH)₂

<em>From NaOH</em>: The molar ratio of Mg(OH)₂:NaOH is 1:2.

Moles of Mg(OH)₂ = 3.14 × 1/2

Moles of Mg(OH)₂ = 1.57 mol Mg(OH)₂

<em>NaOH is the limiting reactant</em> because it gives the smaller amount of Mg(OH)₂.

<em>Step 3</em>. Calculate the <em>moles of NaClO₃</em>.

The molar ratio of NaClO₃:NaOH is 2:2.

Moles of NaClO₃ = 3.14 × 2/2

Moles of NaClO₃ = 3.14  mol NaClO₃

Mg(ClO3)2 + 2NaOH → Mg(OH)2 + 2NaClO3.

This is about as hard a question as you can get in beginning chemistry.  You have to figure out which chemical between the two reactants is the LEAST number of moles before you can do anything about the products. Read that sentence over again carefully and keep in mind what least means. It's the key to the entire question.

For every mole of Mg(ClO3)2 you need two moles of NaOH. That's what the balanced equation tells you. The big number on the left of the chemical is where I'm getting 1 to 2. One is in front of Mg(ClO3)2 and 2 is to the left of NaOH

So you have 2.72 moles of Mg(ClO3)2. You would need to have 2.72*2 moles of NaOH which is 5.44 moles of NaOH. Do you have enough NaOH. (I should hear a resounding NO.) So the limiting reactant is NaOH. You only have 3.14 moles of NaOH. Now you can start getting the answer to the question

You now need to set up the same ratio for the Mg(OH)2

For every 2 moles of NaOH you get 1 mole of Mg(OH)2. The proportion is

NaOH/Mg(OH)2 = 2/1

NaOH = 3.14 moles

3.14 / Mg(OH)2 = 2/1     Cross multiply

3.14 = 2 * Mg(OH)2       Divide by 2

3.14/2 = Mg(OH)2          Combine the left

1.57 = Mg(OH)2              Answer  

============

I'll let you work through the second blank. I'm not completely heartless so I'll tell you that the ratio is 1:1 and that the answer should be 3.14

============

Answer Box one = 1.57

Answer Box Two = 3.14

Zinc will displace copper from a solution of copper sulfate, and magnesium will displace zinc from a solution of zinc sulfate. W
Anna [14]

Answer:

The displacement reactions are regarded as redox reactions because they involve the formal transfer of electrons from one chemical specie to the other

2) The series of reactivity of the metals in the order of increasing reactivity are;

  • Copper

           ↓

  • Zinc

           ↓

  • Magnesium

Explanation:

1) Redox (oxidation-reduction) reaction is a chemical reaction involving the loss and gain of electrons from one chemical species to another, where the chemical species that undergoes oxidation, loses electrons and is termed the reducing agent, while the other chemical species that undergoes reduction, gains electrons, and is termed the oxidizing agent

2) The redox reaction can being based on the affinity for electrons depends on the positions of the reactants in the electrochemical series as well as the chemical reactivity of the metals with zinc being a stronger reducing agent and more chemically reactive than copper and magnesium being a stronger reducing agent and more chemically reactive than zinc

Least  reactive (Cu)  <     (Zn)        < Mg Most reactive

Copper                     <      Zinc       < Magnesium.

Answer:

28.2

Explanation:

Add all of the pressures, 55, 90, and 50, and divide 100 by the answer you get (195). You'll get 0.512820513 and multiply it by .55 (atm of Oxygen) and you'll get 28.2
