Answer:

Esterification reaction

Explanation:

When we have to go from an acid to an ester we can use the esterification reaction. On this reaction, an alcohol reacts with a carboxylic acid on acid medium to produce an ester and water. (See figure).

In this case, we need the methyl ester, therefore we have to choose the appropriate alcohol, so we have to use the methanol as reactive if we have to produce the methyl ester.

Magnesium hydroxide [Mg(OH)2] is an ingredient in some antacids. How many grams of Mg(OH)2 are needed to neutralize the acid in

Allushta [10]

Answer:

1.95g of Mg(OH)2 are needed

Explanation:

Mg(OH)2 reacts with HCl as follows:

Mg(OH)2 + 2 HCl → MgCl2 + 2H2O

Where 1 mole of Mg(OH)2 reacts with 2 moles of HCl

To solve this question we must find the moles of acid. Then, with the chemical equation we can find the moles of Mg(OH)2 and its mass:

Moles HCl:

158mL = 0.158L * (0.106mol / L) = 0.01675 moles HCl

Moles Mg(OH)2:

0.01675 moles HCl * (2mol Mg(OH)2 / 1mol HCl) = 0.3350 moles Mg(OH)2

Mass Mg(OH)2 -Molar mass: 58.3197g/mol-

0.3350 moles Mg(OH)2 * (58.3197g / mol) =

<h3>1.95g of Mg(OH)2 are needed</h3>

What is an input force?

nataly862011 [7]

Force is a pull or a push acting on a body at rest or in motion resulting from its interaction with another body. Input force is the force that you put on a machine while Output force is the force the machine exerts on an object. The output distance is when the output force moves the machine a certain distance while the input distance is when the input distance is when the input force moves the machine a certain distance.

Which statements describe situations where organisms interact and depend on each other for survival?

iragen [17]

Answer:

Mutualisms/Symbiotic relationships

Explanation:
It’s a mutual beneficial relationship that helps both sides… for example… clownfish and sea anemones. The sea anemones provide the clownfish protection and shelter, and the clownfish provides nutrients from waste for the anemones.

If 12.5 grams of strontium hydroxide is reacted with 150 mL of 3.5 M carbonic acid, identify the limiting reactant.

vesna_86 [32]

Answer:

Sr(OH)2

Explanation:

We'll begin by calculating the number of mole of carbonic acid in 150mL of 3.5 M carbonic acid solution. This is illustrated below:

Molarity = 3.5M

Volume = 150mL = 150/1000 = 0.15L

Mole of carbonic acid, H2CO3 =..?

Mole = Molarity x Volume

Mole of carbonic acid, H2CO3 = 3.5 x 0.15 = 0.525 mole.

Next, we shall convert 0.525 mole of carbonic acid, H2CO3 to grams.

Mole of H2CO3 = 0.525 mole

Molar mass of H2CO3 = (2x1) + 12 + (16x3) = 62g/mol.

Mass of H2CO3 =..?

Mass = mole x molar mass

Mass of H2CO3 = 0.525 x 62 = 32.55g

Next, we shall write the balanced equation for the reaction. This is given below:

Sr(OH)2 + H2CO3 → SrCO3 + 2H2O

Next, we shall determine the mass of Sr(OH)2 and H2CO3 that reacted from the balanced equation. This is illustrated below:

Molar mass of Sr(OH)2 = 88 + 2(16 + 1) = 88 + 2(17) = 122g/mol

Mass of Sr(OH)2 from the balanced equation = 1 x 122 = 122g

Molar mass of H2CO3 = (2x1) + 12 + (16x3) = 62g/mol.

Mass of H2CO3 from the balanced equation = 1 x 62 = 62g.

From the balanced equation above, 122g of Sr(OH)2 reacted with 62g of H2CO3.

Finally, we shall determine the limiting reactant as follow:

From the balanced equation above, 122g of Sr(OH)2 reacted with 62g of H2CO3.

Therefore, 12.5g of Sr(OH)2 will react with = (12.5 x 62)/122 = 6.35g.

We can see evidently from the calculations made above that it will take 6.35g out 32.55g of H2CO3 to react with 12.5g of Sr(OH)2. Therefore, Sr(OH)2 is the limiting reactant and H2CO3 is the excess reactant
