How many molecules of Mg3N2 (magnesium nitride) are formed when excess Mg (magnesium)

Chemistry

Explanation:

<em>3Mg(s) + N2(g) = Mg3N2(s)</em>

First check that the equation is balanced. In this case, it is.

Assuming that magnesium is the limiting reactant:

  1. First find the molecular weight using the Periodic Table.

       We find that the atomic mass of magnesium is approximately

       <em>24.3g</em>, so the molecular weight is just <em>24.3g\mol</em>

   

    2. Next we need the mole to mole ratio. As there are <em>3</em>

        magnesiums for <em>1</em> magnesium nitride (shown by the coefficients), the                    

        mole to mole ratio is<em> 1 mol Mg3N2\3 mol Mg.</em>

   

    3. We need the amount of the substance, in grams. Since you have not    

        stated it in the question, I'll just do <em>10g</em> AS AN EXAMPLE. Note that    

       depending on the amount, the LIMITING REAGENT MAY DIFFER.

   4.  Finally, we need the molecular weight of <em>Mg3N2</em>, which we can easily    

        calculate to be around <em>100.9\mol.</em>

<em />

   5.  Putting this all together, we have<em> 10gMg⋅ (mol Mg\24.3gMg) </em>

<em>         (1mol Mg3N2\ 3mol Mg) (100.9g Mg3N2\mol Mg3N2)</em>

     

        the units will cancel to leave <em>gMg3N2</em> (grams of magnesium nitride):

       

<em>        10gMg ⋅ (mol Mg\24.3gMg) (1mol Mg3N2\3mol Mg)</em>

<em>        (100.9g Mg3N2\mol Mg3N2)</em>

<em />

Doing the calculation yields approximately 13.84g.

Assuming that nitrogen is the limiting reactant:

Similarly, following the above steps but with <em>10g</em> of nitrogen yields <em>36.04g</em>

In conclusion, as we produce less amount of <em>Mg3N2</em> when we assumed that <em>Mg</em> was the limiting reagent, magnesium is the limiting reagent and nitrogen is the excess.

Note: This is in THIS CASE, where we have <em>10g</em> of both. The answer may vary depending on the amount of each substance.

Answer:

  1.46×10^25 molecules

Explanation:

Each mole of N₂ reacts with 3 moles of Mg to form 1 mole of Mg₃N₂. That is, the number of moles of product is equal to the number of moles of nitrogen gas when excess magnesium is present.

There are 6.022×10²³ molecules in each mole of a substance, so the number of molecules of Mg₃N₂ is

  (24.3 mol)(6.022×10²³ molecules/mol) = 1.46×10²⁵ molecules

2.50 g of Zn is added to 5.00 g of HCl
Debora [2.8K]
Zn+2HCl ----> 2ZnCl2 + H2

For 2.50 g of Zn

Mass per mol = 2.50/molar mass of Zn = 2.50/65.38 = 0.0382 g/mol
There are two moles of ZnCl2 and total mass = 2*0.0382*molar mass of ZnCl2 = 2*0.0382*136.286 = 10.42 g

For 2 g of HCl

Mass per mol = 2/2*molar mass of HCl = 2/ (2*36.46) = 0.0274 g/mol
For the two moles of ZnCl2, mass produced = 2*0.0274*136.286 = 7.48 g

It can be noted that 2 g of HCl produced less amount of ZnCl and thus it is the limiting reagent.

ikadub [295]

By the First Law of Thermodynamics heat will flow from the hotter body to the cooler one.  The water warms the ice and in doing so the water gets colder.

How much volume (in cm^3)is gained by a person who gains 11.8 lb of our fat? Human fat has a density of 0.918 g/cm^3
Zinaida [17]

The volume (in cm³) gained by a person who gains 11.8 lb of fat is 5830.49 cm³

<h3>What is density? </h3>

The density of a substance is simply defined as the mass of the subtance per unit volume of the substance. Mathematically, it can be expressed as

Density = mass / volume

<h3>How to convert pounds to grams </h3>

1 lb = 453.592 g

Therefore,

11.8 lb = 11.8 × 453.592

11.8 lb = 5352.3856 g

<h3>How to determine the volume </h3>
  • Mass = 5352.3856 g
  • Density = 0.918 g/cm³
  • Volume =?

Volume =  mass / density

Volume =  5352.3856 / 0.918

Volume = 5830.49 cm³
