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

Explain the concept of electron density
Doss [256]
Electron density is the measure of theprobability of an electron being present at a specific location.

In molecules, regions of electron density are usually found around the atom, and its bonds. In de-localized orconjugated systems, such as phenol,benzene and compounds such as hemoglobin and chlorophyll, the electron density covers an entire region, i.e., in benzene they are found above and below the planar ring. This is sometimes shown diagrammatically as a series of alternating single and double bonds. In the case of phenol and benzene, a circle inside a hexagon shows the de-localized nature of the compound.

Given the chemical equation: 2 Pb + O2 → 2 PbO, if 51.8 grams of Pb are formed in this reaction, then 8.00 grams of O2 must have
Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

If 51.8 of Pb is reacting, it will require 4.00 g of O2

If 51.8 g of PbO is formed, it will require 3.47 g of O2.

Explanation:

Equation of the reaction:

2 Pb + O2 → 2 PbO

From the equation of reaction, 2 moles of lead metal, Pb, reacts with 1 mole of oxygen gas, O2, to produce 2 moles of lead (ii) oxide, PbO

Molar mass of Pb = 207 g

Molar mass of O2 = 32 g

Molar mass of PbO = 207 + 32 = 239 g

Therefore 2 × 207 g of Pb reacts with 32 g of O2 to produce 2 × 239 g of PbO

= 414 g of Pb reacts with 32 g of O2 to produce 478 g of PbO

Therefore, formation of 51.8 g of PbO will require (32/478) × 51.8 of O2 = 3.47 g of O2.

If 51.8 of Pb is reacting, it will require (32/414) × 51.8 g of O2 = 4.00 g of O2
