Answer:

if magnesium looses five moles of electrons, oxygen will also gain five moles of electrons.!

Explanation:

Oxidation refers to the loss of electrons. Any specie that looses electrons in a redox reaction is said to be the reducing agent. Hence the reducing agent participates in the oxidation half equation. In this case, magnesium is the reducing agent.

Reduction has to do with the gain of electrons. The oxidizing agent participates in the reduction half equation. Hence the oxidizing agent is reduced in the redid reaction. The reducing agent in this case is the oxygen molecule.

Oxidation half equation;

Mg(s)-----> Mg^2+(aq) + 2e

Reduction half equation;

O2(g) + 2e ------> 2O^2-(aq)

From the balanced reaction equation, two moles of electrons is transferred.

Hence if magnesium looses five moles of electrons, oxygen will also gain five moles of electrons.

10. Predict the mass of nitrogen dioxide produced if 2.30 L of ammonia are allowed to react
Scrat [10]

Answer:

Mass of nitrogen dioxide produced = 4.6 g

Explanation:

Given data:

Volume of ammonia = 2.30 L

Mass of nitrogen dioxide produced = ?

Solution:

Chemical equation:

4NH₃ + 7O₂     →      4NO₂ + 6H₂O

Number of moles of ammonia at STP:

PV = nRT

n = PV/RT

n = 1 atm × 2.30 L / 0.0821 atm.L/K.mol × 273 K

n = 2.30 atm .L / 22.414 atm.L/mol

n = 0.1 mol

Now we will compare the moles of ammonia with nitrogen dioxide from balance chemical equation.

                NH₃            :             NO₂

                 4                :               4

                 0.1             :              0.1

Mass of NO₂:

Mass = number of moles  × molar mass

Mass = 0.1 mol  × 46 g/mol

Mass = 4.6 g

If 72.5 grams of calcium metal (Ca) react with 65.0 grams of oxygen gas (O2) in a synthesis reaction, how many grams of the exce
Natali5045456 [20]
2Ca + O2 = 2CaO
First, determine which is the excess reactant
72.5 g Ca (1 mol) =1.8089725036
(40.078 g)

65 g O2 (1 mol) =2.0313769611
(15.999g × 2)
Since the ratio of to O2 is 2:1 in the balanced reaction, divide Ca's molar mass by 2 to get 0.9044862518. this isn't necessary because Ca is already obviously the limiting reactant. therefore, O2 is the excess reactant.

Now do the stoichiometry
72.5 g Ca (1 mol Ca) (1 mol O2)
(40.078 g Ca)(2 mol Ca)(31.998g O2)

=0.0282669621 g of O2 left over
