Answer:

2Mg + O2 → 2MgO

Explanation:

In all conbustion you should know, that reactans are an specific compound and O2, so the products must be CO2 and H2O, or in this case, the corresponding oxide.

You have 350 mL of 3.4 M hydrochloric acid (HCl). How many grams of HCl gas are dissolved? Bonus: what is the volume of the HCl

Crank

Answer:

1. 43.44g of HCl

2. 26.67 L of HCl

Explanation:

1) Molarity of a solution = number of moles (n) ÷ Volume (V)

According to the provided information in this question,

V = 350 mL = 350/1000 = 0.350L

Molarity = 3.4 M

Using Molarity = n/V

3.4 = n/0.350

n = 3.4 × 0.350

n = 1.19mol

Using the formula below to calculate the mass of HCl;

mole = mass/molar mass

Molar mass of HCl = 1 + 35.5 = 36.5g/mol

mole = mass/MM

mass = 1.19 mol × 36.5g/mol

mass = 43.44g of HCl

2) At STP, HCl has a pressure of 1atm, a temperature of 273K

V = ?

n = 1.19 mol

R = 0.0821 Latm/molK

Using PV = nRT

V = nRT/P

V = 1.19 × 0.0821 × 273/1

Volume = 26.67L

What is the difference between the mass number for carbon- 14 and carbon's atomic number of 12.011 amu

Dennis_Churaev [7]

Great question, but I believe you are mixing up atomic number with mass number. Assuming you are, 12.011 amu is the average mass of a carbon atom. For carbon, it can come in three forms: carbon-12, carbon-13, carbon-14. The number following carbon is the mass number of that particular carbon "isotope". The reason the average is so close to 12 is because carbon-12 is by far the most common, so the average should be (and is) very close to 12. Therefore, 12.011 is a weighted average of all carbon molecules, and carbon-14 is a particular carbon molecule that weighs 14 amu.
