The balanced chemical equation for the above reaction is as follows ;
Mg + 2HCl —> MgCl2 + H2
The stoichiometry of Mg to HCl is 1:2
This means that 1 mol of Mg reacts with 2 mol of HCl
Equal amounts of both Mg and HCl have been added. One reagent is the limiting reactant and other reactant is in excess.
Limiting reactant is the reagent that is fully used up in the reaction and the amount of Product formed depends on the amount of limiting reactant present.
In this reaction if Mg is the limiting reactant, 4.40 moles of Mg should react with 4.40x2 -8.80 moles of HCl.
But only 4.40 moles of HCl present therefore HCl is the limiting reactant that reacts with 4.40/2 = 2.20 moles of Mg
Stoichiometry of HCl to MgCl2 is 2:1
Since HCl moles reacted -4.40 mol
Then MgCl2 moles formed are 4.40/2 = 2.20 mol of MgCl2

Consider the following system at equilibrium where \Delta H° = 18.8 kJ, and Kc = 9.52×10-2, at 350 K.
slega [8]

Answer:

1. C. remains the same.  2. C. is less than Kc.  3. B. run in the reverse direction to reestablish equilibrium. 4. A. increase.

Explanation:

At constant temperature, the equilibrium concentration has not effect on the equilibrium constant because the rate constants do not change with change in the concentrations or amounts of the reactants or products. Change in the concentration of one reactant or product causes the concentration of the others to change so as to maintain a constant value for the equilibrium constant. On the other hand, the reaction quotient is used to measure the relative amounts of reactants and products during a chemical reaction at any point in time. The value of the reaction quotient shows the direction of the chemical reaction.

Therefore, when 0.31 moles of CCl4(g) are removed from the equilibrium system at constant temperature:

1. the value of Kc remains the same

2. the value of Qc  is less than Kc

3.  the reaction must run in the reverse direction to reestablish equilibrium

4.  the concentration of CH_{4} will increase because product will be converted to reactants to reestablish equilibrium.

A student made the Lewis dot diagram of a compound as shown. Mg is written with two dots shown on its top. Cl is written on the
blsea [12.9K]

Answer:

The dots were not properly located and arrows are not used in Lewis structures

Explanation:

If we intend to write a Lewis structure for a compound, that lewis structure must consist of only dots. These dots actually show the valence electrons on the outermost shell of the molecule.

We do not involve arrows when writing dot electron structures for compounds. The valence electrons of magnesium ought not to be written together because they are not a lone pair, rather they are two unpaired electrons. The use of an arrow suggests a coordinate covalent bond which is not the case here.

The correct lewis structure for MgCl2 is shown in the image attached to this answer.

When energy in the atom is released, what occurs?
sineoko [7]

Answer:

What happens when electrons in atoms absorb or release energy? When electrons absorb or release energy, their electrons can move to higher or lower energy levels. These electrons lose energy by emitting light when they return to lower energy levels.
