Answer:

Decomposition

Explanation:

A decomposition reaction is a type of reaction in which a compound is broken down into its constituent elements sometimes under the influence of heat.

When iron (III) hydroxide is heated,new products are formed according to the equation; 2Fe(OH)3 -----------> Fe2O3 + 3H2O.

This is a thermal decomposition reaction.

What is the formula for the compound by calcium ions and chloride ions?

dimaraw [331]

To find the ratio of the the combination for the ion, write the charge of the cation as the subscript for the anion, and the charge of the anion as the subscript of the cation. This will make the charges effectively cancel and you will be left with a neutral ionic compound. Remember, that an ionic compound is made up of a metal and a nonmetal.
For Ca2+ and Cl-, you will get the neutral compound to be CaCl₂.

Which metal atoms can form ionic bonds by losing electrons from both the outermost and next to outermost principal energy levels

RoseWind [281]

Full question options;

(Fe, Pb, Mg, or Ca)

Answer:

Iron - Fe

Explanation:

We understand tht metals pretty much form bonds by losing their valence (outermost electrons). But this question specifically asks for metals that lose beyond their outermost electrons; next to outermost principal energy levels.

Pb, Mg, and Ca only lose their outermost electrons to form the following ions;

Pb2+, Mg2+, and Ca2+.

This is because their ions have achieved a stable octet configuration - the dreamland of atoms where they are satisfied and don't need to go into reactions again.

Iron on the other hand has the following electronic configurations;

Fe: [Ar]4s2 3d6

Fe2+: [Ar]4s0 3d6

Fe3+: [Ar]4s0 3d5

This means ion can lose both the ooutermost electrons (4s) and next to outermost principal energy levels (3d). So correct option is Iron.

SO2(g) + NO2(g) ↔ SO3(g) + NO(g) Kc = 0.33 A reaction mixture contains 0.41 M SO2, 0.14 M NO2, 0.12 M SO3 and 0.14 M NO. Which o

stepladder [879]

Answer:

The reaction will shift in the direction of products.

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

A reaction mixture contains:

0.41 M SO2

0.14 M NO2

0.12 M SO3

0.14 M NO

Step 2: The balanced equation

O2(g) + NO2(g) ↔ SO3(g) + NO(g) Kc = 0.33

Step 3: Define the direction of the shift of reaction:

When Q<K, there are more reactants than products. As a result, some of the reactants will become products, causing the reaction to shift to the right.

When Q>K, there are more products than reactants. To decrease the amount of products, the reaction will shift to the left and produce more reactants.

When Q=K, the system is at equilibrium and there is no shift to either the left or the right.

Step 4: Calculate Q

Q = [NO][SO3]/[SO2][NO2]

Q = (0.14 *0.12)/(0.41*0.14)

Q = 0.0168/0.0574

Q = 0.293

Q<Kc

This means there are more reactants than products. Thud, some of the reactants will become products, causing the reaction to shift to the right.

The reaction will shift in the direction of products.

Two moles of magnesium (Mg) and five moles of oxygen (O2) are placed in a reaction vessel. When magnesium is ignited, it reacts

SOVA2 [1]

Answer:

$\boxed{\text{Mg is the limiting reactant}}$

Explanation:

We are given the amounts of two reactants, so this is a limiting reactant problem.

We know that we will need moles, so, lets assemble the data in one place.

2Mg + O₂ ⟶ 2MgO

n/mol: 2 5

Calculate the moles of MgO we can obtain from each reactant.

From Mg:

The molar ratio of MgO:Mg is 2:2

$\text{Moles of MgO} = \text{2 mol Mg} \times \dfrac{\text{2 mol MgO}}{\text{2 mol Mg}} = \text{2 mol MgO}$

From O₂:

The molar ratio of MgO:O₂ is 2:1.

$\text{Moles of MgO} = \text{5 mol O}_{2} \times \dfrac{\text{2 mol MgO}}{\text{1 mol O}_{2}} = \text{10 mol MgO}\\\\\boxed{\textbf{Mg is the limiting reactant}} \text{ because it gives the smaller amount of MgO}$
