Answer:

Option D

Explanation:

There are 5 main fire extinguisher types – Water, Foam, Dry Powder, CO2 and Wet Chemical. Hence the different chemicals released will react with oxygen in the air to prevent the fire from getting sufficient oxygen and spreading.

Energy produced by nuclear fusion and fission

White raven [17]

Both fission and fusion are nuclear reactions that produce energy, but the applications are not the same. Fission is the splitting of a heavy, unstable nucleus into two lighter nuclei, and fusion is the process where two light nuclei combine together releasing vast amounts of energy.

A solution of hydrochloric acid (HCl, 25.00 mL) was titrated to completion with 34.55 mL of 0.1020 M sodium hydroxide. What was

kati45 [8]

Answer:

0.1410 M

Explanation:

We'll begin by writing the balanced equation for the reaction. This is illustrated below:

HCl + NaOH —> NaCl + H₂O

From the balanced equation above,

The mole ratio of the acid, HCl (nA) = 1

The mole ratio of the base, NaOH (nB) = 1

Next, the data obtained from the question. This include:

Volume of acid, HCl (Va) = 25 mL

Volume of base, NaOH (Vb) = 34.55 mL

Concentration of base, NaOH (Cb) = 0.1020 M

Concentration of acid, HCl (Ca) =?

CaVa / CbVb = nA/nB

Ca × 25 / 0.1020 × 34.55 = 1/1

Ca × 25 / 3.5241 = 1/1

Cross multiply

Ca × 25 = 3.5241 × 1

Ca × 25 = 3.5241

Divide both side by 25

Ca = 3.5241 / 25

Ca = 0.1410 M

Therefore, the concentration of the acid, HCl is 0.1410 M

Two moles of magnesium (Mg) and five moles of oxygen (O2) are placed in a reaction vessel. When magnesium is ignited, it reacts

SOVA2 [1]

Answer:

$\boxed{\text{Mg is the limiting reactant}}$

Explanation:

We are given the amounts of two reactants, so this is a limiting reactant problem.

We know that we will need moles, so, lets assemble the data in one place.

2Mg + O₂ ⟶ 2MgO

n/mol: 2 5

Calculate the moles of MgO we can obtain from each reactant.

From Mg:

The molar ratio of MgO:Mg is 2:2

$\text{Moles of MgO} = \text{2 mol Mg} \times \dfrac{\text{2 mol MgO}}{\text{2 mol Mg}} = \text{2 mol MgO}$

From O₂:

The molar ratio of MgO:O₂ is 2:1.

$\text{Moles of MgO} = \text{5 mol O}_{2} \times \dfrac{\text{2 mol MgO}}{\text{1 mol O}_{2}} = \text{10 mol MgO}\\\\\boxed{\textbf{Mg is the limiting reactant}} \text{ because it gives the smaller amount of MgO}$
