The options of the question is not given so the options are;

(1) Mn(s)

(2) Cu(s)

(3) Ni(s)

(4) Ba(s)

Answer: Mn(s)

Explanation:

The spontaneous reaction depends on the Eo value. The positive Eo value are spontaneous and the negative Eo values are not spontaneous.

so, here the Eo values are:

Eo Zn2+/Zn = -0.763v

Eo Mg2+/Mg = 2.37v

Eo Mn2+/Mn = -1.18v

Therefore, Eo cell (with Zn as one of the half-cell) = Eo Zn2+/Zn - Eo Mn2+/Mn

= -0.763 - (-1.18)

= 0.417v

Whereas, Eo cell (with Mg as one of the half-cell) = Eo Mg2+/Zn - Eo Mn2+/Mn

= -2.37 - (-1.18) = -1.19v

Thus, Mn(s) metal will spontaneously react because it has a positive Eo value and Zn2+(aq), but will not spontaneously react with Mg2+(aq) because it has negative Eo value.

N2(g) + 3H2(g) → 2NH3(g) How many grams of N2 are required to produce 240.0g NH3?

just olya [345]

Answer:

$\large \boxed{\text{197.4 g}}$

Explanation:

We will need a chemical equation with masses and molar masses, so, let's gather all the information in one place.

Mᵣ: 28.01 17.03

N₂ + 3H₂ ⟶ 2NH₃

m/g: 240.0

(a) Moles of NH₃

$\text{Moles of NH}_{3} = \text{240.0 g NH}_{3}\times \dfrac{\text{1 mol NH}_{3}}{\text{17.03 g NH}_{3}}= \text{14.09 mol NH}_{3}$

(b) Moles of N₂

$\text{Moles of N$_{2}$} = \text{14.09 mol NH}_{3} \times \dfrac{\text{1 mol N$_{2}$}}{\text{2 mol NH}_{3}} = \text{7.046 mol N$_{2}$}$

(c) Mass of N₂

$\text{Mass of N$_{2}$} =\text{7.046 mol N$_{2}$} \times \dfrac{\text{28.01 g N$_{2}$}}{\text{1 mol N$_{2}$}} = \textbf{197.4 g N$_{2}$}\\\\\text{The reaction requires $\large \boxed{\textbf{197.4 g}}$ of N$_{2}$}$

Answer:

Law of conservation of mass

Ernest Rutherford

Explanation:

The basic law of behavior of matter that states that "mass is neither created nor destroyed in a chemical reaction or physical change".

This is the law of conservation of mass. It is very essential in understanding most chemical reaction. Also, in quantitative analysis, this law is pivotal.

Ernest Rutherford was the scientist that stated that the nucleus is made up of positive charge. It was not until James Chadwick in 1932 discovered the neutron that we had an understanding of this nuclear component.

Rutherford surmised from his experiment that because most the alpha particles passed through the thin Gold foil and just a tiny fraction was deflected back, the atom is made is made up of small nucleus that is positively charged.
