How many moles of water would form the reaction of exactly 58.3 grams of magnesium hydroxide

Marat540 [252]

Answer:

$\boxed{\text{2.00 mol}}$

Explanation:

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

You don't tell us what the reaction is, but we can solve the problem so long as we balance the OH.

M_r: 58.32

Mg(OH)₂ + … ⟶ … + 2HOH

m/g: 58.3

(a) Moles of Mg(OH)₂

$\text{Moles of Mg(OH)$_{2}$} =\text{58.3 g Mg(OH)$_{2}$} \times \dfrac{\text{1 mol Mg(OH)$_{2}$}}{\text{58.32 g Mg(OH)$_{2}$}}\\\\=\text{0.9997 mol Mg(OH)$_{2}$}$

(b) Moles of H₂O

The molar ratio is 2 mol H₂O = 1 mol Mg(OH)₂.

$\text{Moles of H$_{2}$O}= \text{0.9995 mol Mg(OH)$_{2}$} \times \dfrac{\text{2 mol {H$_{2}$O}}}{ \text{1 mol Mg(OH)$_{2}$}}\\\\= \textbf{2.00 mol H$_{2}$O}$

The reaction will form $\boxed{\textbf{2.00 mol}}$ of water.

A chemist adds of a calcium sulfate solution to a reaction flask. Calculate the mass in grams of calcium sulfate the chemist has

Elanso [62]

The given question is incomplete. The complete question is:

A chemist adds 0.85 L of a 0.0050M calcium sulfate to a reaction flask. Calculate the mass in grams of calcium sulfate the chemist has added to the flask. Round your answer to significant digits.

Answer: The mass in grams of calcium sulfate the chemist has added to the flask is 0.58 g

Explanation:

Molarity of a solution is defined as the number of moles of solute dissolved per liter of the solution.

$Molarity=\frac{n}{V_s}$
