Answer:

Magnesium Mg will be the limiting reagent .

Explanation:

The limiting reagent is one that is first consumed in its entirety, determining the amount of product in the reaction. When the limiting reagent ends, the chemical reaction will stop.

In other words, the limiting reagent is that reagent that is consumed first in a chemical reaction, determining the amount of products obtained. The reaction depends on the limiting reagent, because the other reagents will not react when one is consumed.

In this case, the balanced reaction is:

Mg + 2 HCl ⇒ MgCl₂ + H₂

You know tha 2.00 mL of a 12.00 M HCl solution was reacted with 0.0450 grams of magnesium.

Being Molarity (M) the number of moles of solute that are dissolved in a certain volume, calculated by the expression:

Molarity=\frac{number of moles of solute}{volume}  ( Molarity is expressed in units \frac{moles}{liter})

then the number of moles can be calculated as:

number of moles of solute=molarity* volume

So, being:

  • molarity= 12 M
  • volume= 2 mL= 0.002 L (being 1,000 mL= 1 L)

The number of moles of HCl that react is:

number of moles of HCl= 12 M*0.002 L= 0.024

On the other hand, since the molar mass of magnesium is 24.305 g / mol, then if 0.0450 grams of magnesium react, it indicates that they must react:

0.0450 grams*\frac{1 mol}{24.305 grams} = 0.00185 moles

To determine the limiting reagent, it is possible to use the reaction stoichiometry of the reaction (that is, the relationship between the amount of reagents and products in a chemical reaction), and a simple rule of three as follows: if by stoichiometry 1 mole of Mg reacts with 2 moles of HCl, how much moles of Mg will be needed if 0.024 moles of HCl react?

moles of Mg=\frac{0.024 moles of HCl*1 moles of Mg}{2 moles of HCl}

moles of Mg= 0.012

But 0.012 moles of Mg are not available, 0.00185 moles are available. Since you have less moles than you need to react with 0.024 moles of HCl, <u><em>magnesium Mg will be the limiting reagent .</em></u>

Why aluminium foils are use to wrap food items

Because they insulate either the heat or the coolness within the food item. But keep in mind- when it comes to electricity aluminum isn’t an insulator.

An exciton is: A charged particle made of electrons A charged particle made of holes A neutral particle made of an electron and
Alex

Answer:

A neutral particle made of an electron and hole

Explanation:

Exciton

It is the combination of an electron and a hole ( hole refers to the vacancy of an electron ) . And , as both the electron and the hole have the same charge but the polarity is opposite , the combination will lead to a neutral compound , i.e. ,  Exciton have no charge and so neutral .

It is free to move in the nonmetallic crystal and since it charge less , it is difficult to detect it directly .

K forms the compound K2O , which is an ionic compound that is brittle. Identify another element, M , that is likely to form a br
meriva

The metal is sodium, Na.

<u>Explanation:</u>

K₂O is an ionic compound in which K is in the oxidation state of +1 and it belongs to group 1.

Group 1 elements also form oxides with the metals with the general formula M₂O and M being Na, K, Li and so on.

Metals Like sodium and Potassium are so brittle in nature and also their oxides.

So the other metal that form metal oxide which is brittle as well as ionic in nature, and so the metal oxide is Na₂O.

So the metal is sodium, Na.
