Explanation:
The balanced equation of the reaction is given as;
Mg(OH)2 (s) + 2 HBr (aq) → MgBr2 (aq) + 2 H2O (l)
1. How many grams of MgBr2 will be produced from 18.3 grams of HBr?
From the reaction;
2 mol of HBr produces 1 mol of MgBr2
Converting to masses using;
Mass = Number of moles * Molar mass
Molar mass of HBr = 80.91 g/mol
Molar mass of MgBr2 = 184.113 g/mol
This means;
(2 * 80.91 = 161.82g) of HBr produces (1 * 184.113 = 184.113g) MgBr2
18.3g would produce x
161.82 = 184.113
18.3 = x
x = (184.113 * 18.3 ) / 161.82 = 20.8 g
2. How many moles of H2O will be produced from 18.3 grams of HBr?
Converting the mass to mol;
Number of moles = Mass / Molar mass = 18.3 / 80.91 = 0.226 mol
From the reaction;
2 mol of HBr produces 2 mol of H2O
0.226 mol would produce x
2 =2
0.226 = x
x = 0.226 * 2 / 2 = 0.226 mol
3. How many grams of Mg(OH)2 are needed to completely react with 18.3 grams of HBr?
From the reaction;
2 mol of HBr reacts with 1 mol of Mg(OH)2
18.3g of HBr = 0.226 mol
2 = 1
0.226 = x
x = 0.226 * 1 /2
x = 0.113 mol
Answer:
a. The second run will be faster.
d. The second run has twice the surface area.
Explanation:
The rate of a reaction is proportional to the surface area of a catalyst. Given the volume (V) of a sphere, we can find its surface area (A) using the following expression.

The area of the 10.0 cm³-sphere is:

The area of each 1.25 cm³-sphere is:

The total area of the 8 1.25cm³-spheres is 8 × 5.61 cm² = 44.9 cm²
The ratio of 8 1.25cm³-sphere to 10.0 cm³-sphere is 44.9 cm²/22.4 cm² = 2.00
Since the surface area is doubled, the second run will be faster.
Answer:
0.50 M
Explanation:
Given data
- Mass of sodium sulfate (solute): 7.1 g
- Volume of solution: 100 mL
Step 1: Calculate the moles of the solute
The molar mass of sodium sulfate is 142.04 g/mol. The moles corresponding to 7.1 grams of sodium sulfate are:

Step 2: Convert the volume of solution to liters
We will use the relation 1 L = 1000 mL.

Step 3: Calculate the molarity of the solution

Displacement, usually the method that is used to measure the volume of an irregularly shaped object.
