Answer:

h. both Mg(OH)₂ and CaCO₃

Explanation:

Let's consider the solution of Mg(OH)₂ according to the following equation:

Mg(OH)₂(s) ⇄ Mg²⁺(aq) + 2 OH⁻(aq)

In acidic solution, OH⁻ reacts with H⁺ to form H₂O.

OH⁻(aq) + H⁺(aq) ⇄ H₂O(l)

According to Le Chatelier's principle, since [OH⁻] decreases, the solution of Mg(OH)₂(s) shifts toward the right, increasing its solubility.

Let's consider the solution of CaCO₃ according to the following equation:

CaCO₃(s) ⇄ Ca²⁺(aq) + CO₃²⁻(aq)

In acidic solution, CO₃²⁻ reacts with H⁺ to form HCO₃⁻.

CO₃²⁻(aq) + H⁺(aq) ⇄ HCO₃⁻(aq)

According to Le Chatelier's principle, since [CO₃²⁻] decreases, the solution of CaCO₃(s) shifts toward the right, increasing its solubility.

Let's consider the solution of AgCl according to the following equation:

AgCl(s) ⇄ Ag⁺(aq) + Cl⁻(aq)

Cl⁻ does not react with H⁺ because it comes from a strong acid (HCl). Therefore, the solubility of AgCl(s) is not affected by the pH.

The molarity of a solution prepared by dissolving 4.11 g of NaI in enough water to prepare 312 mL of solution is
Dimas [21]

Answer:

The correct answer is 8.79 × 10⁻² M.

Explanation:

Based on the given information, the mass of NaI given is 4.11 grams. The molecular mass of NaI is 149.89 gram per mole. The moles of NaI can be determined by using the formula,

No. of moles of NaI = Weight of NaI/ Molecular mass

= 4.11 / 149.89

= 0.027420

The vol. of the solution given is 312 ml or 0.312 L

The molarity can be determined by using the formula,

Molarity = No. of moles/ Volume of the solution in L

= 0.027420/0.312

= 0.0879 M or 8.79 × 10⁻² M

Methane gas reacts with oxygen in a gas stove.
nekit [7.7K]

Hey there!

CH₄ + 2O₂ → CO₂ + 2H₂O

carbon dioxide: product

methane: reactant

oxygen: reactant

water: product

Methane and oxygen are reactants because they are the substances we start with. They are on the side of the equation that the arrow is pointing away from.

Carbon dioxide and water are products because they are the new substances  that are the yields of the equation. They are on the side of the equation that the arrow is pointing towards.

Hope this helps!
