The balanced chemical reaction for the system given is as follows:

2Mg + 2HCl = 2MgCl + H2

The mole ratio of the reactants is one is to one which means with a given amount of magnesium requires the same amount of hydrochloric acid to have a complete reaction. If supplied exactly, then after the reaction, all of the reactants are consumed and formed into the products.

Answer:

The mass of left over reactants after the reaction will be less than that of the mass of Magnesium and hydrochloric acid before the reaction as the reactants react to form the products.

Explanation:

The balanced chemical equation representing the reaction of Mg and HCl:

Mg (s) + 2 HCl (aq) --> MgCl_{2}(aq)+H_{2}(g)

As per the Law of conservation of mass, the total mass of reactants before the reaction will be equal to the total mass of products after the reaction. So, if one of the reactant is present in excess, it would be left unconsumed after the reaction and the mass of the left over reactant will be less than the initial mass of the reactants as the reactants undergo stoichiometric chemical reaction to form the products. But if we consider the mass of reactants and mass of products formed it must be equal as per the Law of conservation of mass which states that mass is neither created nor destroyed it changes.

A 1.2 kg block of iron at 32 ∘C is rapidly heated by a torch such that 12 kJ is transferred to it. What temperature would the bl
lbvjy [14]

Answer:

For iron

Final temperature = 54,22°C

For copper

Final Temperature = 63.67 °C

Explanation

Hello,

You are using a torch to warm up a block of iron that has an initial temperature of 32°C.

The first you have to know is that the "heat capacity" could simply define as the heat required to go from an initial temperature to a final temperature.

So you need to use the heat capacity equation as follow in the paper.

The equation has to have all terms in the same units, so:

q = 12000 J

s = 0.450 J / g °C

m = 1200 g

Ti = 32 °C

If 16.5g of c6h14o2 are reacted vwith .499 mol of o2. How many moles of co2 should be produced
Fed [463]

Answer:

moles of carbon dioxide produced are 410.9 mol.

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of C₆H₁₄O₂ = 16.5 g

Moles of O₂ = 499 mol

Moles of CO₂ = ?

First of all we will write the balance chemical equation.

2C₆H₁₄O₂  +  17O₂  →   14CO₂  +  12H₂O

moles of C₆H₁₄O₂  = mass × molar mass

moles of C₆H₁₄O₂ =  16.5 g × 118 g/mol

moles of C₆H₁₄O₂ = 1947 mol

Now we compare the moles of CO₂ with moles of O₂ and C₆H₁₄O₂ from balance chemical equation.

                 O₂      :     CO₂

                 17       :      14

                499     :      14/17× 499 = 410.9 moles

          C₆H₁₄O₂   :   CO₂

                    2    :      14

                 1947 :     14/2× 1947 =  13629 moles

Oxygen will be limiting reactant so moles of carbon dioxide produced are 410.9 mol.

Question 4 Unsaved When writing electron configuration the 3d block comes after the 4s block. Question 4 options: True False
zmey [24]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

According to Aufbau's principle "sublevels with lower energies are filled up before those with higher energies".

Sublevels do not fill up in numerical order but there is a certain manner in which they are filled. The pattern is shown below:

  1s 2s 2p 3s 3p 4s 3d 4p 5s 4d 5p e.t.c

 We see that the 4s gets filled before the 3d sublevel.

Why do the densities of most substances increase when temperature decreases?
vlada-n [284]

This is because temperatures determine the kinetic energy of molecules of a substance, At lower temperatures the molecules have low kinetic energy hence the distance between molecules is not as large as when the kinetic energy is higher (because the molecules bombard less and with less kinetic energy). This means the substance can pack more molecules per volume at lower temperatures. The more the molecules per volume the higher the density.
