Suppose 2.4 g of Mg reacts with 10.0 g of O2, to create magnesium oxide. How much magnesium oxide is produced?

Chemistry

Answer:

3.98 g

Explanation:

Step 1. Write the balanced chemical reaction. In this case, magnesium reacts with oxygen to produce magnesium oxide:

2~Mg(s) + O_2 (g)\rightarrow 2~MgO (s)

\\

Step 2. Calculate the number of moles of magnesium:

n_{Mg} = \frac{2.4~g}{24.305~g/mol} = 0.0987~mol

\\

Step 3. Calculate the number of moles of oxygen:

n_{O_2} = \frac{10.0~g}{32.00~g/mol} = 0.3125~mol

\\

Step 4. Identify the limiting reactant comparing the equivalents. Equivalent of Mg:

eq_{Mg} = \frac{0.0987~mol}{1} = 0.0987~mol

Equivalent of oxygen:

eq_{O_2} = \frac{0.3125~mol}{2} = 0.15625~mol

Therefore, Mg is the limiting reactant.

\\

Step 5. According to the stoichiometry of this reaction:

n_{Mg} = n_{MgO} = 0.0987~mol

\\

Step 6. Convert the number of moles of MgO into mass:

m_{MgO} = 0.0987~mol\cdot 40.304~g/mol = 3.98~g

What volume (in L) of oxygen will be required to produce 77.4 L of water vapor in the reaction below?
Inga [223]

Answer:

90.3 L

Explanation:

Given data:

Volume of water produced = 77.4 L

Volume of oxygen required = ?

Solution:

Chemical equation:

2C₂H₆ + 7O₂  →  4CO₂ + 6H₂O

It is known that,

1 mole = 22.414 L

There are 7 moles of oxygen = 7×22.414 = 156.9 L

There are 6 moles of water = 6×22.414 = 134.5 L

Now we will compare:

                               H₂O           :              O₂    

                               134.5         :              156.9

                                 77.4         :             156.9/134.5×77.4 =90.3 L

So for the production of 77.4 L water 90.3 L oxygen is required.

4. Synthesis problems. Propose a synthetic route from the starting material to the product. In your answer, show each individual
Troyanec [42]

The reduction of alkyne to an alkene in the first step allows the best reagent to be chosen for each subsequent step.

Describe reagents.

A reagent is merely an essential component of a chemical reaction, it should be mentioned. It is an ingredient that speeds up the reaction.

With H2 and Lindlar's catalyst, an alkyne is reduced to alkene as the initial step in this process. Alkene will then be brominated to produce allyl bromide as the next step.

In this instance, the required allyl alcohol will be produced via the reaction of allyl bromide with NaOH.
