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

How many pounds of ice are required to absorb 4900 kJ of heat as the ice melts? The heat of fusion of water is 0.334 kJ/g.
Goshia [24]

Answer:

m = 32.34 pounds of ice.

Explanation:

In this case we need to use the following expression of heat:

q = m * ΔHf   (1)

Where:

q: heat absorbed in J or kJ

m: mass of the compound in g

ΔHf: heat of fusion of the water in kJ/g

We are asked to look for the mass of ice in pounds, so after we get the grams, we need to convert the grams to pounds, using the following conversion:

1 pound --------> 453.59 g   (2)

So, we have the heat and heat of fusion, from (1) let's solve for the mass, and then, using (2) the conversion to pounds:

q = m * ΔHf  

m =  q / ΔHf

m = 4900 / 0.334 = 14,670.66 g of ice

Now, the conversion to pounds:

m = 14,670.66 g * 1 pound/453.59 g

<h2>m = 32.34 pounds of ice.</h2>

If you place a glass rod over a burning candle, the glass turns
gladu [14]
A. the wax is a both; 1. physical change-solid to liquid.
2. chemical change- burned to CO2 + H20 + heat + carbon as seen as black on the rod
b. the wick is neither; the wick does not change, just provides conduit for wax to flame
c. the glass rod is physical change; the carbon is only deported

Using the following equation: 3H2SO4+ 2Fe -&gt; Fe2(SO4)3+ 3H2
Mariana [72]

Answer:

H₂SO₄

Explanation:

Given data:

Number of moles of H₂SO₄ = 15 mol

Number of moles of Fe = 13 mol

Which reactant is limiting reactant = ?

Solution:

Chemical equation:

3H₂SO₄  + 2Fe      →          Fe₂(SO₄)₃  + 3H₂

now we will compare the moles reactant with product.

               H₂SO₄         :          Fe₂(SO₄)₃  

                  3               :              1

                 15               :              1/3×15 = 5

                H₂SO₄         :            H₂

                  3               :              3

                 15               :              15

                Fe               :          Fe₂(SO₄)₃  

                  2               :              1

                 13               :              1/2×13 = 6.5

                Fe               :                H₂

                  2               :                 3

                 13               :              3/2×13 = 19.5

Number of moles of product formed by  H₂SO₄ are less thus it will act as limiting reactant.

1. How is the genome like a stack of papers?
Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

Except for mature red blood cells, all human cells contain a complete genome. DNA in the human genome is arranged into 24 distinct chromosomes—physically separate molecules that range in length from about 50 mil- lion to 250 million base pairs.

Physical properties of reactants: Physical properties of products: 12.
dolphi86 [110]

Answer: The reactants are baking soda and vinegar. Baking soda is a white powder, and vinegar is a clear liquid. The products of this reaction are carbon dioxide, water, and sodium acetate. Carbon dioxide is a colorless gas, water is a colorless liquid, and sodium acetate is a white crystalline powder.

A chemical change can be seen in how the molecular formulas of the products are different from the reactants, since the reactants have chemically changed into completely different molecules.

Hope this helps
