Answer:

39.6 g

Explanation:

The equation of the reaction is;

2Mg(s) + O2(g) --------> 2MgO(s)

To obtain the limiting reactant;

Number of moles in 26.4 g of Mg = 26.4g/24 g/mol = 1.1 moles

If 2 moles of Mg yields 2 moles of MgO

1.1 moles of Mg yields 1.1 * 2/2 = 1.1 moles of MgO

Number of moles in 26.4 g of O2 = 26.4 g/32g/mol = 0.825 moles

If 1 mole of O2 yields 2 moles of MgO

0.825 moles of O2 yields 0.825 moles * 2/1 = 1.65 moles of MgO

Hence Mg is the limiting reactant.

Theoretical yield of MgO = 1.1 moles of MgO * 40 g/mol = 44 g

Percent yield = 90%

Percent yield = actual yield/theoretical yield * 100

Actual yield = Percent yield * theoretical yield/100

Actual yield = 90 * 44/100

Actual yield = 39.6 g

Answer:

It's spontaneous in the reverse direction

Explanation:

A negative voltage indicate s that the reverse reaction is spontaneous (i.e. oxidation at the cathode, and reduction at the anode; by convention you would need to swap the labels on the electrodes)

Which process is an example of a physical change?
Lostsunrise [7]

Answer:

The answer is flattening

Explanation:

A physical change is generally something that affects the shape of form of the matter and a chemical change results from a chemical reaction. Flames are caused by chemical reactions, as is rust, and the process of a fruit becoming ripe. Thus, the answer is “flattening”.

Match the element with its description. Match Term Definition Sodium A) Has properties of both metals and nonmetals Silicon B) H
Novosadov [1.4K]

Answer:

Sodium - malleable, soft, and shiny

Silicon - has properties of both metals and nonmetals

Bromine - highly reactive gas

Argon - non-reactive gas

Explanation:

Sodium is an alkaline metal. Just like other alkaline metals, it's malleable, soft, and shiny.

Silicon is a metalloid. Metalloids are elements that have properties of both metals and nonmetals.

Bromine a highly reactive chemical element. It is a fuming red-brown liquid at room temperature that evaporates to form a similarly coloured gas.

Argon is a noble gas. Just like other noble gases, it's non-reactive.
