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

What two-step process separated the cans into aluminum, steel, and tin?
Liono4ka [1.6K]

Answer:

Magnetivity and melting point.

Explanation:

Aluminum, steel and tin cans can be separated by two step process of magnetisation and melting point, because the three cans have different magnetic properties.

Steel attract to magnet easily because of it's has magnetic properties and these separate steel from aluminum.

Neither steel and aluminum melted at 300°C but Tin melt at that temperature.

How many moles are in 442.8 g of strontium carbonate (SrCO3)?
GuDViN [60]

Answer:

3 moles

Explanation:

SrCO3

Mass = 442.8g

Molar mass = (87.6 + 12 * [16*3]) = 147.6g/mol

Number of moles = mass / molar mass

Number of moles = 442.8 / 147.6

Number of moles = 3

Atoms are made up of protons, neutrons, and electrons.

Energy can be neither created nor destroyed.

Water freezes at 0°C

If  a piece of platinum is placed in acid, it will not react.

<h3>What are the correct pairing of the given terms?</h3>

The correct pairing of the given terms are obtained from the given options as follows:

Atoms of elements contains three sub-atomic particles which are protons, neutrons, and electrons.

Energy is the ability to do work.

According to the law of conservation of energy, Energy can be neither created nor destroyed.

Water is a liquid which freezes at 0°C.

Therefore, Water freezes at 0°C.

Platinum is a metal which is less reactive than hydrogen, Hence, it cannot displace hydrogen from acids.

Hence, if a piece of platinum is placed in acid, it will not react.

In conclusion, the correct pairing gives the correct description of the properties of the given terms.
