4.20 mol Al would react completely with 4.20 x (1/2) = 2.10 mol Fe2O3, but there is not that much Fe2O3 present, so Fe2O3 is the limiting reactant. (1.75 mol Fe2O3) x (2/1) x ( 55.8452 g Fe/mol) = 195 g Fe 3 MgO + 2 H3PO4 → Mg3(PO4)2 + 3 H2O (15.0 g MgO) / (40.3045 g MgO/mol) = 0.37217 mol MgO (18.5 g H3PO4) / (97.9953 g H3PO4/mol) = 0.18878 mol H3PO4 0.18878 mol H3PO4 would react completely with 0.18878 x (3/2) = 0.28317 mole of MgO, but there is more MgO present than that, so MgO is in excess and H3PO4 is the limiting reactant. Now we must consider why the problem tells us "17.6g of Mg3(PO4)2 is obtained". The first possibility is that it's just there for the sake of confusion -- in which case ignore it and proceed this way: ((0.37217 mol MgO initially) - (0.28317 mole MgO reacted)) x (40.3045 g MgO/mol) = 3.59 g MgO left over However, if the amount of magnesium phosphate obtained is given because the reaction was stopped before it was complete, the amount obtained governs the amount reacted and the amount left over, so proceed this way: (17.6g Mg3(PO4)2) / (262.8581 g Mg3(PO4)2/mol) x (3/1) = 0.20087 mol MgO reacted ((0.37217 mol MgO initially) - (0.20087 mole MgO reacted)) x (40.3045 g MgO/mol) = 6.90 MgO left over
A molecule of water has two hydrogen atoms. Both of these atoms can form a hydrogen bond with oxygen atoms of different water molecules. Every water molecule can be hydrogen bonded with up to three other water molecules
Tetrahedral is a molecular shape that turns out when four bonds and no lone pairs around the central atom in the molecule. The bonded atoms to the central atom lie at the corners of a tetrahedron with 109.5° angles between them. The molecules with an tetrahedral electron pair geometries have hybridization at the central atom. For instance, both ammonium ion () and methane () have a tetrahedral molecular geometry.
