N the reaction Mg + 2HCl -> MgCl2 + H2 which element’s oxidation number does not change?

Chemistry
1 answer:
BartSMP [9]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:- Oxidation number of Cl does not change as it is -1 on both sides.

Explanations:- oxidation number of Mg on reactant side is 0 as it is in its elemental form(not combined with another element).

Oxidation number  of hydrogen in its compounds is +1, so if H is +1 in HCl the oxidation number of Cl is -1 as the sum has to be zero.

On product side, Mg oxidation number is +2 as the oxidation number of alkaline earth metals in their compounds is +2.

Two Cl are present in magnesium chloride, so if Mg is +2 then Cl is -1.

Oxidation number of H on product side is 0 as it is present in its elemental for, H_2 ,

So, it is only chlorine(Cl) whose oxidation number does not change for the given equation.

How many moles are there in 990 grams of sugar, C12H22011? (Sig Figs, do not
Nitella [24]

Answer:

Number of moles = 2.89 mol

Explanation:

Given data:

Number of moles of sugar  = ?

Mass of sugar = 990 g

Solution:

Formula:

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Molar mass of C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁:

12× 12 + 22×1.008 + 16×11 = 342.2 g/mol

Number of moles = 990 g / 342.2 g/mol

Number of moles = 2.89 mol

How do you find the molecular formula from the empirical formula?
miskamm [114]
To find them you would have numbers of the elements in percentage or grams then you divide them by their molar mass to get their moles. From there you divide by the smallest number. Round it to two or one sig fig. If you have a number that is for ex. 2.5 you multiply it by 2 to make it whole as well the other whole numbers. Then to find the molecular formula the problem must give you another molar mass and using your empirical formula convert it to its molar mass then you divide them, larger number over smaller number. You should get a number round it to 1 sig fig. Now you use that number and multiply the subscripts on the empirical formula to get the molecular formula.

When 2.5 grams react, the will produce how many grams of reactant in a complete chemical reaction?
const2013 [10]

Answer:

2.5g

Explanation:

When the reaction goes into completion, they will produce 2.5g. This is complement the law of conservation of mass.

According to the law of conservation of mass "in a chemical reaction, matter is neither created nor destroyed but transformed from one form to another".

  • The mass of reactants and products in a chemical reaction must be the same.
  • There is no change in mass in moving from reactant to product
  • So, if we start with 2.5g of reactants, we must end with 2.5g of products.
