Several properties of the element magnesium are shown. Which one is a chemical property?

1 answer:

3 0

The exterior of magnesium metal is shielded with a thin layer of oxide that somewhat protects the metal from attack by air. Magnesium metal burns in air with a distinctive blinding bright white spark when ignited to give a mixture of white magnesium oxide, MgO, and magnesium nitride, Mg3N2. Magnesium is highly reactive to halogens such as chlorine, Cl2 or bromine, Br2, and it burns to create dihalides magnesium chloride, MgCl2 and magnesium bromide.

Find percent yield:

saveliy_v [14]

Answer: The percent yield of the reaction is 91.8 %

Explanation:

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$ .....(1)

For $B_5H_9$ :

Given mass of $B_5H_9$ = 4.0 g

Molar mass of $B_5H_9$ = 63.12 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\text{Moles of }B_5H_9=\frac{4g}{63.12g/mol}=0.0634mol$

For oxygen gas:

Given mass of oxygen gas = 10.0 g

Molar mass of oxygen gas = 32 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\text{Moles of oxygen gas}=\frac{10g}{32g/mol}=0.3125mol$

The chemical equation for the reaction of $B_5H_9$ and oxygen gas follows:

$2B_5H_9+12O_2\rightarrow 5B_2O_3+9H_2O$

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

12 moles of oxygen gas reacts with 2 moles of $B_2H_5$

So, 0.3125 moles of oxygen gas will react with = $\frac{2}{12}\times 0.3125=0.052mol$ of $B_2H_5$

As, given amount of $B_2H_5$ is more than the required amount. So, it is considered as an excess reagent.

Thus, oxygen gas is considered as a limiting reagent because it limits the formation of product.

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

12 moles of oxygen gas produces 5 moles of $B_2O_3$

So, 0.3125 moles of oxygen gas will produce = $\frac{5}{12}\times 0.3125=0.130moles$ of water

Now, calculating the mass of $B_2O_3$ from equation 1, we get:

Molar mass of $B_2O_3$ = 69.93 g/mol

Moles of $B_2O_3$ = 0.130 moles

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$0.130mol=\frac{\text{Mass of }B_2O_3}{69.63g/mol}\\\\\text{Mass of }B_2O_3=(0.130mol\times 69.63g/mol)=9.052g$

To calculate the percentage yield of $B_2O_3$ , we use the equation:

$\%\text{ yield}=\frac{\text{Experimental yield}}{\text{Theoretical yield}}\times 100$

Experimental yield of $B_2O_3$ = 8.32 g

Theoretical yield of $B_2O_3$ = 9.052 g

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\%\text{ yield of }B_2O_3=\frac{8.32g}{9.052g}\times 100\\\\\% \text{yield of }B_2O_3=91.8\%$

Hence, the percent yield of the reaction is 91.8 %

Diamond is a covalently-bonded substance made of pure carbon. Each carbon atom has six total electrons so this means carbon shar

Kryger [21]

When two carbon atoms are covalently bonded together, they try to achieve an octet structure so their electrons are 4 in number while each of them donates their remaining 2 so they end up sharing 4.

What is an advantage of using natural gas rather than a coal burning power plant?

Olenka [21]

Answer:

I hope it helps u

Explanation:

The advantages of using natural gas rather than coal are the following,

Natural gas is present in large amount than coal.
Natural gas is less costly than other fossil fuel sources of energy.
It increases security by decreasing dependence.
Natural gas is more environmentally friendly.
Natural gas is much safer to store.
It is reliable.
Natural gas is a fossil fuel, though the global warming emissions from its combustion are much lower than those from coal or oil.
Natural gas emits 50 to 60 percent less carbon dioxide (CO2) when combusted in a new, efficient natural gas-power plant compared with emissions from a typical new coal plant.
