1 answer:
Answer:
One electron per single hydrogen atom.
Explanation:
Hello!
In this case, given the reaction:
Whereas we can identify the following half-reaction for hydrogen:
Whereas we see that each single hydrogen atom gains one electron in order to go from 0 to +1, which is also related to an oxidation half-reaction.
Best regards!

Answer:
30.8 grams of magnesium hydroxide will form from this reaction, and magnesium nitrate is the limiting reagent.
Explanation:
The reaction that takes place is:
- 2NaOH + Mg(NO₃)₂ → 2NaNO₃ + Mg(OH)₂
Now we <u>convert the given masses of reactants to moles</u>, using their respective <em>molar masses</em>:
- 68.3 g NaOH ÷ 40 g/mol = 1.71 mol NaOH
- 78.3 g Mg(NO₃)₂ ÷ 148.3 g/mol = 0.528 mol Mg(NO₃)₂
0.528 moles of Mg(NO₃)₂ would react completely with (0.528 * 2) 1.056 moles of NaOH. There are more than enough NaOH moles, so NaOH is the reagent in excess and <em>Mg(NO₃)₂ is the limiting reagent.</em>
Now we <u>calculate how many Mg(OH)₂ are produced</u>, using the <em>moles of the limiting reagent</em>:
- 0.528 mol Mg(NO₃)₂ *
= 0.528 mol Mg(OH)₂
Finally we convert Mg(OH)₂ moles to grams:
- 0.528 mol Mg(OH)₂ * 58.32 g/mol = 30.8 g
