Answer:

Mass of magnesium oxide formed = 35.1 g

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of Mg = 20.9 g

Mass of O₂ = 15.2 g

Mass of magnesium oxide formed = ?

Solution:

Chemical equation:

2Mg + O₂     →   2MgO

Number of moles of Mg:

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Number of moles = 20.9 g/ 24 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.87 mol

Number of moles of O₂:

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Number of moles = 15.2 g/ 32 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.475 mol

Now we will compare the moles of MgO with magnesium and oxygen.

                Mg          :         MgO

                  2           :           2

                0.87        :         0.87

                  O₂         :         MgO

                     1         :            2

                   0.475   :        2/1×0.475 = 0.95  

Number of moles of MgO formed by Mg are less thus Mg will limiting reactant.

Mass of MgO:

Mass = number of moles × molar mass

Mass = 0.87 mol × 40.3 g/mol

Mass = 35.1 g

likoan [24]

Answer:

The smell of a chocolate is from the presence of volatile compounds present in the chocolate bar which at room temperature readily changes phase from solid to liquid to vapor or gas

Explanation:

There are nearly 600 identified compounds present in a chocolate bar and out of these, there are volatile components which gives the chocolate bar its distinctive aroma.

These volatile chocolate contents readily change phase from solid to vapor, with very short duration liquid phase.

For example, 3 methylbutanal, vanillin, and several organic compounds which are known to be readily volatile.

Linolenic acid (C18H30O2 - M.W. = 278.42 g/mol) reacts with hydrogen gas according to the equation: C18H30O2 + 3H2 (g) → C18H36O
Ludmilka [50]

Answer:

2.53 L is the volume of H₂ needed

Explanation:

The reaction is: C₁₈H₃₀O₂ + 3H₂ → C₁₈H₃₆O₂

By the way we can say, that 1 mol of linolenic acid reacts with 3 moles of oxygen in order to produce, 1 mol of stearic acid.

By stoichiometry, ratio is 1:3

Let's convert the mass of the linolenic acid to moles:

10.5 g . 1 mol / 278.42 g  = 0.0377 moles

We apply a rule of three:

1 mol of linolenic acid needs 3 moles of H₂ to react

Then, 0.0377 moles will react with (0.0377 . 3 )/1 = 0.113 moles of hydrogen

We apply the Ideal Gases Law to find out the volume (condition of measure are STP) → P . V = n . R . T → V = ( n . R .T ) / P

V = (0.113 mol . 0.082 L.atm/mol.K . 273.15K) 1 atm = 2.53 L

Calculate the molarity and normality of 5.7 g of Ca(OH)2 in 450 mL of solution.
Kisachek [45]
  The  molarity   and  normality  of  5.7 g  of  Ca(OH)2   in  450ml  0f    solution  is  calculated  as  follows

molarity  =  moles/volume in  liters
moles  =mass/molar  mass
=  5.7g/74g/mol  =  0.077moles
molarity =  0.077/450  x1000= 0.17M

Normality =  equivalent  point  x molarity
equivalent  point  of Ca(OH)2  is  2   since  it has  two  Hydrogen  atom

normality  is therefore =  0.17  x2 = 0.34 N
