Answer:

B. Two chlorine atoms

Explanation:

This electronic configuration shows that the given atom is magnesium.

Electronic configuration of magnesium:

Mg¹² = 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s²

There are two valance electrons of magnesium that's why it would react with two atoms of chlorine. Chlorine is present in seventeen group. It has seven valance electrons. It required just one electron to get complete octet. While magnesium needed to lose two electrons to get complete octet. That's why two chlorine atoms bonded with one magnesium atom. Thus both would get complete octet.

Mg + Cl₂ → MgCl₂

The acid - base equation between H2PO3^- and HS^- is H2PO3^- + HS^- ⇄S^- + H3PO3.

An acid is a substance that can donate hydrogen ions while a base is a substance that can accept hydrogen ion. This is the acid base definition according to Brownstead - Lowry.

To show the acid - base relationship between H2PO3^- and HS^-, we have the equation;

H2PO3^- + HS^- ⇄S^- + H3PO3

Consider the reaction of magnesium metal with hydrochloric acid to produce magnesium chloride and hydrogen gas. If 3.29 mol of m

gregori [183]

Answer:

1.645 moles of excess reactant that is of magnesium metal are left over.

Explanation:

Moles of magnesium metal = 3.29 mol

Moles of HCl = 3.29 mol

$Mg(s)+2HCl(aq)\rightarrow MgCl_2(aq)+H_2(g)$

According to recation, 2 moles of HCl reacts with 1 mol of magnesium metal, then 3.29 moles of HCl will react with :

$\frac{1}{2}\times 3.29 mol=1.645 mol$ of magnesium metal

Moles of HCl left = 3.29mol - 3.29 mol = 0

Moles of magnesium metal left = 3.29 mol - 1.645 mol = 1.645 mol

1.645 moles of excess reactant that is of magnesium metal are left over.

Copper is formed when aluminum reacts with copper (II) sulfate in a single-replacement reaction. How many moles of copper can be

serg [7]

Answer:

The answer to your question is the limiting reactant is CuSO₄ and 0.975 moles of Cu were obtained

Explanation:

moles of Copper = ?

mass of Aluminum = 29 g

mass of CuSO₄ = 156 g

Limiting reactant = ?

Balanced Chemical reaction

3 CuSO₄ + 2 Al ⇒ 3 Cu + Al₂(SO₄)₃

Calculate the moles of reactants

CuSO₄ = 64 + 32 + (16 x 4) = 160g

Al = 27 g

160 g of CuSO₄ ----------------- 1 mol

156 g ----------------- x

x = (156 x 1) / 160

x = 0.975 moles

27 g of Al -------------------------- 1 mol

29 g of Al -------------------------- x

x = (29 x 1)/27

x = 1.07 moles

Calculate proportions to find the limiting reactant

Theoretical 3 moles CuSO₄/2 moles Al = 1.5 moles

Experimental 0.975 moles CuSO₄/1.07 moles = 0.91

The experimental proportion was lower than the theoretical proportion that means that the limiting reactant is CuSO₄.

3 moles of CuSO₄ ------------------ 3 moles of Cu

0.975 moles of CuSO₄ --------------- x

x = (0.975 x 3)/3

x = 0.975 moles of Cu were obtained.
