Mg reaction with O₂ gas will produce MgO so the equation will be
2Mg+O₂⇒2MgO. (You have to find the equation in order two figure out the number of moles of O₂ that will react with 1 mole of MgO).

The first step is to find the number of moles of Mg in 4.03g of Mg. You can do this by dividing 4.03g Mg by its molar mass (which is 24.3g/mol) to get 0.1658mol Mg. Then you have to find the number of moles of O₂ that will react with 0.1658mol Mg. To do this you need to use the fact that 1mol O₂ will react with 2mol Mg (this reatio is from the chemical equation) so you have to multiply 0.1658mol Mg by (1mol O₂)/(2mol Mg) to get 0.0829mol O₂. From here you would usually use PV=nRT and solve for V However, the question tells us that we are at STP, that means you can use the fact that 22.4L of gas is 1 mol of gas at STP. Using that information we can find the volume of O₂ gas by mulitlying 0.0829mol O₂ by 22.4L/mol to get 1.857L which equals 1857mL.
therefore, 1857mL of O₂ gas will react with 4.03g of Mg.

I hope this helps. Let me know in the comments if anything is unclear.

Respuesta:

2 FeCl₃(aq) + 3 Na₂CO₃(s) ⇒ Fe₂(CO₃)₃(s) + 6 NaCl(aq)

Explicación:

Consideremos la ecuación no balanceada que ocurre cuando cloruro férrico acuoso reacciona con carbonato de sodio sólido para formar carbonato férrico sólido y cloruro de sodio acuoso. Esta es una reacción de doble desplazamiento.

FeCl₃(aq) + Na₂CO₃(s) ⇒ Fe₂(CO₃)₃(s) + NaCl(aq)

Vamos a usar el método de tanteo. Empezaremos balanceando los átomos de C, multiplicando Na₂CO₃ por 3.

FeCl₃(aq) + 3 Na₂CO₃(s) ⇒ Fe₂(CO₃)₃(s) + NaCl(aq)

Luego, balancearemos los átomos de Fe, multiplicando FeCl₃ por 2.

2 FeCl₃(aq) + 3 Na₂CO₃(s) ⇒ Fe₂(CO₃)₃(s) + NaCl(aq)

Finalmente, obtendremos la ecuación balanceada, multiplicando NaCl por 6.

2 FeCl₃(aq) + 3 Na₂CO₃(s) ⇒ Fe₂(CO₃)₃(s) + 6 NaCl(aq)

Which substance will form a solution when mixed with solid sodium chloride?

s2008m [1.1K]

The substance that will form a solution when mixed with solid sodium chloride would be CH₂OH

<h3>Solubility of NaCl</h3>

A solution is only formed when a solute dissolves in a solvent.

In this case, $CCl4_$ and CH₂OH are the only liquid solvents. However, NaCl is insoluble in $CCl_4$ while it is soluble in CH₂OH due to its polarity.
