Answer:

0.134 moles of H₂ can be formed if a 3.25g sample of Mg reacts with excess HCl

Explanation:

The balanced reaction is:

Mg + 2 HCl → MgCl₂ + H₂

By stoichiometry of the reaction (that is, the relationship between the amount of reagents and products in a chemical reaction), the following amounts of moles react:

  • Mg: 1 mole
  • HCl: 2 moles
  • MgCl₂: 1 mole
  • H₂: 1 mole

Being:

  • Mg: 24. 31 g/mole
  • H: 1 g/mole
  • Cl: 35.45 g/mole

the molar mass of the compounds participating in the reaction is:

  • Mg: 24.31 g/mole
  • HCl: 1 g/mole + 35.45 g/mole= 36.45 g/mole
  • MgCl₂: 24.31 g/mole + 2*35.45 g/mole= 95.21 g/mole
  • H₂: 2*1 g/mole= 2 g/mole

Then, by stoichiometry of the reaction, the following quantities of mass participate in the reaction:

  • Mg: 1 mole* 24.31 g/mole= 24.31 g
  • HCl: 2 moles* 36.45 g/mole= 72.9 g
  • MgCl₂: 1 mole* 95.21 g/mole= 95.21 g
  • H₂: 1 mole* 2 g/mole= 2 g

Then you can apply the following rule of three: if by stoichiometry 24.31 grams of Mg form 1 mole of H₂, 3.25 grams of Mg how many moles of H₂ will they form?

moles of H_{2} =\frac{3.25 grams of Mg*1 mole of H_{2} }{24.31 grams of Mg}

moles of H₂= 0.134

<u><em>0.134 moles of H₂ can be formed if a 3.25g sample of Mg reacts with excess HCl</em></u>

How many grams of oxygen gas will be produced when 2.50 moles of potassium chlorate is decomposed?
yawa3891 [41]

Answer:

m_{O_2}=120gO_2

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, since the decomposition of potassium chlorate is:

2KClO_3\rightarrow 2KCl+3O_2

We can see a 2:3 mole ratio between potassium chlorate and oxygen (molar mass 32.0 g/mol), thus, via stoichiometry, we compute the mass of oxygen that are produced by the decomposition of 2.50 moles of this reactant:

m_{O_2}=2.50molKClO_3*\frac{3molO_2}{2molKClO_3} *\frac{32.0gO_2}{1molO_2}\\\\m_{O_2}=120gO_2

Best regards!
