Answer:

The volume of hydrogen gas produced will be approximately 50.7 liters under STP.

Explanation:

Relative atomic mass data from a modern periodic table:

  • H: 1.008;
  • Cl: 35.45.

Magnesium is a reactive metal. It reacts with hydrochloric acid to produce

  • Hydrogen gas \rm H_2, and
  • Magnesium chloride, which is a salt.

The chemical equation will be something like

\rm ?\;Mg\;(s) + ?\;HCl \;(aq)\to ?\;H_2 \;(g)+ [\text{Formula of the Salt}],

where the coefficients and the formula of the salt are to be found.

To determine the number of moles of \rm H_2 that will be produced, first find the formula of the salt, magnesium chloride.

Magnesium is a group 2 metal. The oxidation state of magnesium in compounds tends to be +2.

On the other hand, the charge on each chloride ion is -1. Each magnesium ion needs to pair up with two chloride ions for the charge to balance in the salt, magnesium chloride. The formula for the salt will be \rm MgCl_2.

\rm ?\;Mg\;(s) + ?\;HCl\;(aq) \to ?\;H_2 \;(g)+ ?\;MgCl_2\;(aq).

Balance the equation. \rm MgCl_2 contains the largest number of atoms among all species in this reaction. Start by setting its coefficient to 1.

\rm ?\;Mg\;(s) + ?\;HCl\;(aq) \to ?\;H_2 \;(g)+ {\bf 1\;MgCl_2}\;(aq).

The number of \rm Mg and \rm Cl atoms shall be the same on both sides. Therefore

\rm {\bf 1\;Mg}\;(s) + {\bf 2\;HCl}\;(aq) \to ?\;H_2 \;(g)+ {1\;\underset{\wedge}{Mg}\underset{\wedge}{Cl_2}}\;(aq).

The number of \rm H atoms shall also conserve. Hence the equation:

\rm {1\;Mg}\;(s) + {2\;\underset{\wedge}{H}Cl}\;(aq) \to {\bf 1\;H_2 \;(g)}+ {1\;MgCl_2}\;(aq).

How many moles of HCl are available?

M(\rm HCl) = 1.008 + 35.45 = 36.458\;g\cdot mol^{-1}.

\displaystyle n({\rm HCl}) = \frac{m(\text{HCl})}{M(\text{HCl})} = \rm \frac{165.0\;g}{36.458\;g\cdot mol^{-1}} = 4.52576\;mol.

How many moles of Hydrogen gas will be produced?

Refer to the balanced chemical equation, the coefficient in front of \rm HCl is 2 while the coefficient in front of \rm H_2 is 1. In other words, it will take two moles of \rm HCl to produce one mole of \rm H_2. \rm 4.52576\;mol of \rm HCl will produce only one half as much \rm H_2.

Alternatively, consider the ratio between the coefficient in front of \rm H_2 and \rm HCl is:

\displaystyle \frac{n(\text{H}_2)}{n(\text{HCl})} = \frac{1}{2}.

\displaystyle n(\text{H}_2) = n(\text{HCl})\cdot \frac{n(\text{H}_2)}{n(\text{HCl})} = \frac{1}{2}\;n(\text{HCl}) = \rm \frac{1}{2}\times 4.52576\;mol = 2.26288\;mol.

What will be the volume of that many hydrogen gas?

One mole of an ideal gas occupies a volume of 22.4 liters under STP (where the pressure is 1 atm.) On certain textbook where STP is defined as \rm 1.00\times 10^{5}\;Pa, that volume will be 22.7 liters.

V(\text{H}_2) = \rm 2.26288\;mol\times 22.4\;L\cdot mol^{-1} = 50.69\; L, or

V(\text{H}_2) = \rm 2.26288\;mol\times 22.7\;L\cdot mol^{-1} = 51.37\; L.

The value "165.0 grams" from the question comes with four significant figures. Keep more significant figures than that in calculations. Round the final result to four significant figures.

zloy xaker [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

In one of the process, energy is built up from scratch, in the other one, energy is liberated for use by an organism or body.

The first process deals with a metabolic reaction in which energy is liberated:

         C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂  → 6CO₂ + 6H₂O + energy

In the above process, energy is liberated when glucose combines with oxygen. The waste products are carbon dioxide and water. This process liberates heat energy which can be used to do work.

   In the reverse process:

             6CO₂ + 6H₂O   →  C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂

    This process stores energy in carbon chains as chemical energy. It is this energy that is released in the first process.

Therefore, we can see that the first process liberates energy and the reverse process stores energy.

Which activity might help to increase the validity of this experiment?
MArishka [77]
A should be the answer because the more you test an experiment the more data you have to rely on changing the experiment would cause you to have different outcomes making the results different and unreliable so B, C, and D is not going to be the answer Hope this helps
