Answer:

0.0347 moles of hydronium ions

Explanation:

The equation of the neutralization reaction between hydroxide and hydronium ions is given below:

H₃O+ (aq) + OH- (aq) ----> 2 H₂O (l)

From the equation above, 1 mole of hydroxide ions will neutralize one mole hydronium ions.

The moles of hydroxide ions present in 1 teaspoon or 5 mL of antacid product is calculated as follows:

Number of moles = mass / molar mass

Molar mass of Magnesium hydroxide, Mg(OH)₂ = 58 g/mol

Molar mass of aluminium hydroxide, Al(OH)₃ = 78 g/mol

Mass of magnesium hydroxide = 450 g = 0.45 g

Mass of aluminium hydroxide = 500 mg = 0.5 g

Moles of magnesium hydroxide = (0.45/58) moles

Moles of aluminium hydroxide = (0.5/78) moles

Equation of the ionization of magnesium hydroxide and aluminium hydroxide is given below:

Mg(OH)₂ (aq) ----> Mg²+ (aq) + 2 OH- (aq)

Al(OH)₃ (aq) ---> Al³+ (aq) + 3 OH- (aq)

Number of moles of hydroxide ions present in (0.45/58) moles of magnesium hydroxide = 2 × (0.45/58) moles = 0.0155 moles

Number of moles of hydroxide ions present in (0.5/78) moles of aluminium hydroxide = 3 × (0.5/78) moles = 0.0192 moles

Total moles of hydroxide ions = 0.0155 + 0.0192 = 0.0347 moles hydroxide ions

Therefore, 0.0347 moles of hydroxide ions will neutralize 0.0347 moles of hydronium ions.

Identify the substances that will appear in the equilibrium constant expression for the equation: 2Ag+(aq)+Zn(s)<->Zn2+(aq
Simora [160]

Hey there!


We Know that:



 2 Ag⁺(aq) + Zn(s) <-> Zn²⁺(aq)+2 Ag(s)


The equilibrium expression for the reaction is:



Kc =  [ Zn⁺² ]  /  [Ag⁺ ]²


Hope that helps!

Compare and contrast physical changes with chemical changes.
Alekssandra [29.7K]

There are several differences between a physical and chemical change in matter or substances. A physical change in a substance doesn't change what the substance is. In a chemical change where there is a chemical reaction, a new substance is formed and energy is either given off or absorbed.

For which elements are outer electrons and valence electrons the same?
spin [16.1K]

Answer:

The number of electrons in the outermost shell of a particular atom determines its reactivity, or tendency to form chemical bonds with other atoms. This outermost shell is known as the valence shell, and the electrons found in it are called valence electrons.
