Answer:
Theanswer to your question is:
Limiting reactant = FeCl₃
Excess reactant = 1.66 g of Mg
Explanation:
Data
Mg = 41 g = 24.31 g/mol
FeCl₃ = 175 g = 162.2 g/mol
3Mg(s) + 2FeCl₃(s) → 3MgCl₂(s) + 2Fe(s)
3(24.31) of Mg ------------------ 2(162.2) of FeCl₃
72.93 g of Mg ------------------ 324.4 g of FeCl₃
Theoretical Proportion = 324.4/72.93 = 4.44
Practical proportion = 175 / 41 = 4.2
As the proportion disminishes the limiting reactant is FeCl₃.
Excess reactant
72.93 g of Mg ------------------ 324.4 g of FeCl₃
x ------------------------- 175 g of FeCl₃
x = (175 x 72.93) / 324.4
x = 39.34 g of Mg
Excess = 41 - 39.34
= 1.66 g of Mg
There are 22 bonding parts
It is a chemical <em>process</em> - an oxidation.
There are many ways to predict the properties of an element here's one example.As you move from left to right the electron affinity and ionization energy both increase .Since elements of the same family have similar characteristic,you can often predict the properties of another element in its family
