Answer:

  • <u><em>Magnesium and fluorine.</em></u>

Explanation:

<em>Ionic compounds</em> are formed by the electrostatic attraction of cations and anions.

Cations, positive ions, are formed when atoms lose electrons, and anions, negative ions, are formed when atoms gain electrons.

When two different atoms have similar atraction for electrons (electronegativity) they will not donate to nor catch electrons from each other, so cations and anions will not be formed. Instead, the atoms would prefer to share electrons forming covalent bonds to complete their outermost shell (octet rule).

Then, in order to form ionic compounds the electronegativities have to substantially different. This situation does not happen between two nonmetal elements, which nitrogen and sulfur are. Then, you can predict safely that nitrogen and sulfur will not form an ionic compound.

Ionic compounds, then require the electronegativity difference that exist between some metals and nonmetals. Being magnesium an alkaline earth metal, its electronegativity is very low. On the other hand, fluorine the first element of the group 17, has the highest electronegativity of all the elements.Thus magnesium and fluorine will have enough electronegativity difference to justify the exchange of electrons, forming ions and, consequently, ionic compounds.

Given the model from the question,

  • The products are: N₂, H₂O and H₂
  • The reactants are: H₂ and NO
  • The limiting reactant is H₂
  • The balanced equation is: 3H₂ + 2NO —> N₂ + 2H₂O + H₂

<h3>Balanced equation </h3>

From the model given, we obtained the ffolowing

  • Red => Oxygen
  • Blue => Nitrogen
  • White => Hydrogen

Thus, we can write the balanced equation as follow:

3H₂ + 2NO —> N₂ + 2H₂O + H₂

From the balanced equation above,

  • Reactants: H₂ and NO
  • Product: N₂, H₂O and H₂

<h3>How to determine the limiting reactant</h3>

3H₂ + 2NO —> N₂ + 2H₂O + H₂

From the balanced equation above,

3 moles of H₂ reacted with 2 moles of NO.

Therefore,

5 moles of H₂ will react with = (5 × 2) / 3 = 3.33 moles of NO

From the calculation made above, we can see that only 3.33 moles of NO out of 4 moles given are required to react completely with 5 moles of H₂.

Thus, H₂ is the limiting reactant

NItrogen in air reacts at high temperature to form NO2 according to the reaction:
Rina8888 [55]

Answer:

The correct answer is option E.

Explanation:

Structures for the reactants and products are given in an aimage ;

Number of double bonds in oxygen gas molecule = 1

Number of double bonds in nitro dioxide gas molecule = 1

Number of single bond in in nitro dioxide gas molecule = 1

Number of triple bonds in nitrogen gas molecule = 1

N_2+2O_2\rightarrow 2NO_2,\Delta H=?

\Delta H=[2 mol\times \Delta H_{f,NO_2}]-[1 mol\times \Delta H_{f,N_2}-2 mol\times \Delta H_{f,O_2}]

\Delta H_{f,NO_2}=33.18 kJ/mol

\Delta H_{f,N_2}=0 (pure element)

\Delta H_{f,O_2}=0 (pure element )

\Delta H=2 mol\times 33.18 kJ/mol=66.36kJ=15.86 kcal

The enthalpy of the given reaction is 15.86 kcal.
