Answer:

If 48 g of magnesium react with gaseous oxygen, 80 grams of magnesium oxide will form.

Explanation:

First of all you must know the amount of mass that reacts and is produced from each compound stochemically (that is, the relationship between the amount of reagents and products in a chemical reaction).

For that you must know the atomic mass of each element, read in the periodic table:

  • Mg: 24 g/mol
  • O: 16 g/mol

Then,  the compounds involved in the reaction have a molar mass, that is, the mass in one mole of the compound, of:

  • Mg: 24 g/mol
  • O₂: 2*16 g/mol= 32 g/mol
  • MgO: 24 g/mol + 16 g/mol= 40 g/mol

But in the reaction 2 Mg + O₂ —-> 2 MgO it is observed that 2 moles of Mg and 1 mole of O₂ react, and 2 moles of MgO are formed. Then stoichiometrically they react and the following mass quantities are produced:

  • Mg: 2 mol*24 g/mol= 48 g
  • O₂: 1 mol*32 g/mol= 32 g
  • MgO: 2 moles*40 g/mol= 80 g

By stoichiometry you can see that when reacting 48 g of Mg, 80 g of MgO are formed.  Expressed in another way, <u><em>if 48 g of magnesium react with gaseous oxygen, 80 grams of magnesium oxide will form.</em></u>

think it maybe 48 mg0 because there should be 2g magnesium in the word equation

Consider the following reaction where Kc = 154 at 298 K.2NO(g) + Br2(g) 2NOBr(g)A reaction mixture was found to contain 4.64×10-
IgorLugansk [536]

Answer:

The reaction is not at equilibrium and reaction must run in forward direction.

Explanation:

At the given interval, concentration of NO = \frac{4.64\times 10^{-2}}{1}M=4.64\times 10^{-2}M

Concentration of Br_{2} = \frac{4.56\times 10^{-2}}{1}M=4.56\times 10^{-2}M

Concentration of NOBr = \frac{0.102}{1}M=0.102M

Reaction quotient,Q_{c} , for this reaction = \frac{[NOBr]^{2}}{[NO]^{2}[Br_{2}]}

species inside third bracket represents concentrations at the given interval.

So, Q_{c}=\frac{(0.102)^{2}}{(4.64\times 10^{-2})^{2}\times (4.56\times 10^{-2})}=106

So, the reaction is not at equilibrium.

As Q_{c}< K_{c} therefore reaction must run in forward direction to increase Q_{c} and make it equal to K_{c}.

H2, N2, O2 molecules. . . A)must be polar. must be nonpolar. . B)can be polar or nonpolar depending on geometric . C)configurati
LenKa [72]

Answer: The correct option is A.

Explanation: The given molecules are the molecules of same element.

These molecules are considered as diatomic species.

Polar molecules are the molecules in which some polarity is present in the bond. These molecules are formed when there is some difference in the electronegativities of the elements. Example: HCl

Non-polar molecules are the molecules where no polarity is present in the bond. These molecules are formed when there is no difference in the electronegativities of the elements. Example: H_2, O_2

The given molecules are non-polar in nature.

Hence, these molecules must be non-polar. So, the correct option is A.

Part 1: Name the type of chemical reaction that occurs when calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)2) reacts with nitric acid (HNO3).
liberstina [14]

<u>Answer:</u>

<u>For 1:</u> Neutralization reaction

<u>For 2: </u>Zinc is more reactive than lead and less reactive than calcium.

<u>Explanation:</u>

  • <u>For (1):</u>

When a base reacts with an acid to form a salt and water molecule, it is known as a neutralization reaction. The general equation follows:

HX+BOH\rightarrow BX+H_2O

The chemical equation for the reaction of calcium hydroxide and nitric acid follows:

Ca(OH)_2(aq)+2HNO_3(aq)\rightarrow Ca(NO_3)_2(aq)+2H_2O(l)

  • <u>For (2):</u>

A single displacement reaction is defined as the reaction in which a more reactive metal displaces a less reactive metal from its salt solution. The general chemical equation follows:

A+BX\rightarrow AX+B

where,

Metal A is more reactive than metal B

The reactivity of metals is judged by the reactivity series where a metal lying above in the series is more reactive than the metal lying below it.

From the reactivity series below,

Zinc lies above in the series than lead thus is more reactive and will easily replace lead from its aqueous solution.

While zinc lies below in the series than calcium thus is less reactive and will not easily replace calcium from its aqueous solution.

Zn(s)+Pb(NO_3)_2(aq)\rightarrow Zn(NO_3)_2(aq)+Pb(s)

Zn(s)+CaCl_2(aq)\rightarrow \text{No reaction}
