Vikki [24]4 years ago

Answer:

The coefficient for PH3 is 8. Option D is correct.

Explanation:

Step 1: The unbalanced equation

P2H4(g) ⇆ PH3(g) + P4(s)

Step 2: Balancing the equation

P2H4(g) ⇆ PH3(g) + P4(s)

On the left side we have 4x H (in P2H4), on the right side we have 3x H (in PH3). To balance the amount of H on both sides, we have to multiply P2H4 on the left side by 3 and PH3 on the right by 4.

3P2H4(g ) ⇆ 4PH3(g) + P4(s)

On the left side we have 6x P (in 3P2H4) on the right side we have 8x P (4x in 4PH3 and 4x in P4). To balance the amount of P on bot hsides, we have to multiply 3P2H4 by 2 and 4PH3 also by 2. Now the equation is balanced

6P2H4(g ) ⇆ 8PH3(g) + P4(s)

The coefficient for PH3 is 8. Option D is correct.

The nh2cl model consists of balls and sticks. the electrons in the molecule are paired, and each stick represents a valence elec
tangare [24]

Valence electrons in NH2Cl:

=1(5)*2(1)*1(7)

=14

So there are 14 valence electrons in NH2Cl

As each stick represents an valence electron pair.

And there are 14 valence electrons, so there can be 7 valence electron pairs.

And for 7 valence electron pairs, 7 sticks needed.

When 16.3 g of magnesium and 4.52 g of oxygen gas react, how many grams of magnesium oxide will be formed? Identify the limiting
Tanzania [10]

Answer:

22.77 g.

he limiting reactant is O₂, and the excess reactant is Mg.

Explanation:

  • From the balanced reaction:

<em>Mg + 1/2O₂ → MgO,</em>

1.0 mole of Mg reacts with 0.5 mole of oxygen to produce 1.0 mole of MgO.

  • We need to calculate the no. of moles of (16.3 g) of Mg and (4.52 g) of oxygen:

no. of moles of Mg = mass/molar mass = (16.3 g)/(24.3 g/mol) = 0.6708 mol.

no. of moles of O₂ = mass/molar mass = (4.52 g)/(16.0 g/mol) = 0.2825 mol.

So. 0.565 mol of Mg reacts completely with (0.2825 mol) of O₂.

<em>∴ The limiting reactant is O₂, and the excess reactant is Mg (0.6708 - 0.565 = 0.1058 mol).</em>

<u><em>Using cross multiplication:</em></u>

1.0 mole of Mg produce → 1.0 mol of MgO.

∴ 0.565 mol of Mg produce → <em>0.565 mol of MgO.</em>

<em>∴ The amount of MgO produced = no. of moles x molar mass </em>= (0.565 mol)(40.3 g/mol) = <em>22.77 g.</em>
