Consider the reaction Mg₂Si(s) + 4 H₂O(ℓ) → 2 Mg(OH)₂(aq) + SiH₄(g). How many grams of silane gas (SiH₄) are formed if 25.0 g of

Neko [114]

Answer:

10.60 grams of silane gas are formed.

Explanation:

From the reaction:

Mg₂Si(s) + 4H₂O(l) → 2Mg(OH)₂(aq) + SiH₄(g)

We know that the limiting reactant is Mg₂Si, so to find the mass of SiH₄ formed we need to calculate the number of moles of Mg₂Si:

$\eta_{Mg_{2}Si} = \frac{m_{Mg_{2}Si}}{M_{Mg_{2}Si}}$

Where:

m: is the mass of Mg₂Si = 25.0 g

M: is the molar mass of Mg₂Si = 76.69 g/mol

$\eta_{Mg_{2}Si} = \frac{m_{Mg_{2}Si}}{M_{Mg_{2}Si}} = \frac{25.0 g}{76.69 g/mol} = 0.33 moles$

Now, the stoichiometric relation between Mg₂Si and SiH₄ is 1:1 so:

$\eta_{Mg_{2}Si} = \eta_{SiH_{4}} = 0.33 moles$

Finally, the mass of SiH₄ is:

$m_{SiH_{4}} = \eta_{SiH_{4}}*M_{SiH_{4}} = 0.33 moles*32.12 g/mol = 10.60 g$

Therefore, 10.60 grams of silane gas are formed.

I hope it helps you!

How many grams are in 1.23 x 1020 atoms of arsenic?

Alina [70]

Given the data from the question, the mass of arsenic that contains 1.23×10²⁰ atoms is 0.0153 g

<h3>Avogadro's hypothesis </h3>

6.02×10²³ atoms = 1 mole of arsenic

But

1 mole of arsenic = 75 g

Thus, we can say that:

6.02×10²³ atoms = 75 g of arsenic

<h3>How to determine the mass that contains 1.23×10²⁰ atoms</h3>

6.02×10²³ atoms = 75 g of arsenic

Therefore,

1.23×10²⁰ atoms = (1.23×10²⁰ × 75) / 6.02×10²³ atoms)

1.23×10²⁰ atoms = 0.0153 g of arsenic

Thus, 1.23×10²⁰ atoms is present in 0.0153 g of arsenic
