Answer:
Explanation:
Two moles of magnesium (Mg) and five moles of oxygen (O2) are placed in a reaction vessel. When magnesium is ignited, it reacts with oxygen. What is the limiting reactant in this experiment?
Mg + O2 → MgO (unbalanced)
first, balance the equation
2Mg +O2-------> 2MgO
two magnesium atoms react with one diatomic oxygen molecule
there is a 1:1 ratio of magnesium to oxygen atoms
but we have 2 moles of magnesium atoms and 2X5 = 10 moles of oxygen atoms
the lesser magnesium LIMITS the amount of product we can make, so it is the LIMITING REAGENT.
Answer:
direct effect
Increasing the pressure increases the boiling point and decreasing the pressure decreases the boiling point
Answer:
Na has the most similar configuration.
Explanation:
Na electron configuration: 1s²2s²2p⁶3s¹ or [Ne] 3s₁
Mg electron configuration: 1s²2s²2p⁶3s² or [Ne] 3s²
Be electron configuration: 1s²2s² or [He] 2s²
This is because Na and Mg are right next to each other in the same period (horizontal).
Given:
2 Mg + O2 → 2 MgO
So,
<span>(25.0 g of Mg / 24.3051 g/mole) x (1/2) x (22.4 L/mole) = 11.5 L of Oxygen will react with 25 grams of magnesium metal.</span>
Answer:
Metal is a conductor. it takes in heat very well. wood is an insulator. it takes in heat too, but less of it. this makes the wood handle cooler and the metal handle hot
