Answer:

Because CO2 dissolved in water is acidic: it forms carbonic acid. The second equilibrium below strongly favors dissolved CO2

We say that salts will dissociate but acids will react with water. We say that acids will

Paha777 [63]

Answer:

ionize

Explanation:

Acids are chemical substances that lose/donate their hydrogen ion (H+) when they react with water. This property of acids is termed IONIZATION. In a chemical reaction involving acids and bases, acids release their proton or hydrogen ion (H+) in the presence of water solutions to form a conjugate base, which is usually an anion.

For example, in the chemical reaction;

HX + H20 -------> X- + H30+

HX is the acid because it loses its electron to water and forms the anion, X-, which is the conjugate base. Hence, it can be said that acid HX ionizes in water.

A solution contains an unknown amount of dissolved magnesium. Addition of

Scrat [10]

Taking into account the reaction stoichiometry, 2.13 grams of magnesium was dissolved in the solution.

<h3>Reaction stoichiometry</h3>

In first place, the balanced reaction is:

Mg²⁺(aq) + Na₂CO₃(aq) → MgCO₃(s) + 2 Na⁺(aq)

By reaction stoichiometry (that is, the relationship between the amount of reagents and products in a chemical reaction), the following amounts of moles of each compound participate in the reaction:

Mg²⁺: 1 mole
Na₂CO₃: 1 mole
MgCO₃: 1 mole
Na⁺: 2 moles

The molar mass of the compounds is:

Mg²⁺: 24.3 g/mole
Na₂CO₃: 106 g/mole
MgCO₃: 84.3 g/mole
Na⁺: 23 g/mole

Then, by reaction stoichiometry, the following mass quantities of each compound participate in the reaction:

Mg²⁺: 1 mole ×24.3 g/mole= 24.3 grams
Na₂CO₃: 1 mole ×106 g/mole= 106 grams
MgCO₃: 1 mole ×84.3 g/mole=84.3 grams
Na⁺: 2 moles ×23 g/mole= 46 grams

<h3>Mass of magnesium dissolved</h3>

The following rule of three can be applied: If by reaction stoichiometry 1 mole of Na₂CO₃ react with 24.3 grams of magnesium, 0.0877 moles of Na₂CO₃ react with how much mass of magnesium?

$mass of magnesium=\frac{0.0877 moles of Na_{2}C O_{3}x24.3 grams of magnesium }{1 mole of Na_{2}C O_{3}}$
