B. Don't take up most of the space in an atom,
Answer: C. HNO3 and NaOH
Explanation:
Arrhenius acid produces hydogen ion (H+) when dissolved in water. An example of Arrhenius acid is HNO3.
Arrhenius base produces hydroxyl ion (OH-) when dissolved water. An example of Arrhenius base is NaOH.
The balanced chemical equation for the above reaction is as follows ;
Mg + 2HCl —> MgCl2 + H2
The stoichiometry of Mg to HCl is 1:2
This means that 1 mol of Mg reacts with 2 mol of HCl
Equal amounts of both Mg and HCl have been added. One reagent is the limiting reactant and other reactant is in excess.
Limiting reactant is the reagent that is fully used up in the reaction and the amount of Product formed depends on the amount of limiting reactant present.
In this reaction if Mg is the limiting reactant, 4.40 moles of Mg should react with 4.40x2 -8.80 moles of HCl.
But only 4.40 moles of HCl present therefore HCl is the limiting reactant that reacts with 4.40/2 = 2.20 moles of Mg
Stoichiometry of HCl to MgCl2 is 2:1
Since HCl moles reacted -4.40 mol
Then MgCl2 moles formed are 4.40/2 = 2.20 mol of MgCl2
