Answer:

Mass of hydrogen produced = 2.1 g

Mass of excess reactant left = 25.2 g

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of Mg = 50.0 g

Mass of HCl = 75.0 g

Mass of hydrogen produced = ?

Mass of excess reactant left = ?

Solution:

Chemical equation:

Mg + 2HCl → MgCl₂ + H₂

Number of moles of Mg:

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Number of moles = 50 g/ 24 g/mol

Number of moles = 2.1 mol

Number of moles of HCl:

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Number of moles = 75 g/ 36.5 g/mol

Number of moles = 2.1 mol

now we will compare the moles of hydrogen gas with both reactant.

Mg : H₂

1 : 1

2.1 : 2.1

HCl : H₂

2 : 1

2.1 : 1/2×2.1 = 1.05 mol

HCl is limiting reactant and will limit the yield of hydrogen gas.

Mass of hydrogen:

Mass = number of moles × molar mass

Mass= 1.05 mol ×2 g/mol

Mass = 2.1 g

Mg is present in excess.

Mass of Mg left:

HCl : Mg

2 : 1

2.1 : 1/2×2.1 = 1.05

Out of 2.1 moles of Mg 1.05 react with HCl.

Moles of Mg left = 2.1 mol - 1.05 mol = 1.05 mol

Mass of Mg left:

Mass = number of moles × molar mass

Mass = 1.05 mol × 24 g/mol

Mass = 25.2 g

A solution is prepare using 45.2 g of an unknown (nonelectrolyte) dissolved in 476.4 g of water. The freezing point depression

Ray Of Light [21]

Answer:

94.4g/mol is molar mass of the unknown

Explanation:

Based on the freezing point depression equation:

ΔT = Kf*m*i

Where ΔT is the depression in freezing point (1.87°C)

Kf is freezing point depression constant of water (1.86°Ckg/mol)

And i is Van't Hoff factor (1 for nonelectrolyte solutes)

Replacing:

1.87°C = 1.86°CKg/mol*m*i

1.005mol/kg solvent = m

Using the mass of the solvent we can find the oles of the nonelectrolyte:

1.005mol/kg solvent * 0.4764kg = 0.479moles

Molar mass is defined as the ratio between mass of a substance in grams and moles, that is:

45.2g / 0.479mol =

<h3>94.4g/mol is molar mass of the unknown</h3>

Imagine that you have a metal bar sitting half in the sun and half in the dark. On a sunny day, the part of the metal that has b

babunello [35]

Answer:

It will feel hot.

Explanation:

The part of the metal that has been sitting in the sun will heat up, and because metal is a good conductor, the part sitting in the sun will heat up the part sitting in the dark.

We say metal is a good conductor because it has high thermal conductivity, which mean heat will flow from the hot section of the bar to the cold section of the bat.

While you are using a battery, the cell reaction is going a) forward, b) backward, c) at equilibrium, d) TEXASIN all possible

polet [3.4K]

Answer:Cell reaction is going forward.

Explanation:

For any chemical reaction to be spontaneous or to move in forward direction the ΔG ,the Gibbs free energy must be negative.

The cell potential of a battery is positive for a spontaneous reaction, so for a battery to give output its cell potential must be positive.

Thermodynamics and electro-chemistry are related in the following manner:

ΔG=-nFE

n=number of electrons involved

F=Faradays constant

E=cell pottential of battery

so from the above equation ΔG would only be negative when E cell that is the cell potential is positive.

For a battery which is being used its cell potential is positive and hence the ΔG would be negative. So the cell reaction occurring would be in forward direction as ΔG is negative.

when the cell potential Ecell is 0 then ΔG is also zero then the reaction occurring in battery would be at equilibrium.

When the cell potential Ecell is - then ΔG is positive and the reaction would be occurring backwards.
