A 3.82-g sample of magnesium nitride is reacted with 7.73 g of water. mg3n2 (s) + 3 h2o (â) â 2 nh3 (g) + 3 mgo (s) the yield of
horrorfan [7]
The reaction is properly written as

Mg₃N₂ (s) + 3 H₂O (l) --> 2 NH₃<span> (g) + 3 MgO (s) 

Molar mass of Mg</span>₃N₂ = 100.95 g/mol
Molar mass of H₂O = 18 g/mol
Molar mass of MgO = 40.3 g/mol

Moles Mg₃N₂: 3.82/100.95 = 0.0378
Moles H₂O: 7.73/18 = 0.429 

Theo H₂O required for available Mg₃N₂: 0.0378*3/1 = 0.1134 mol
Hence, the limiting reactant is Mg₃N₂.
Thus,

Theoretical Yield = 0.0378 mol Mg₃N₂ * 3 mol MgO/Mg₃N₂ * 40.3 g/mol
Theo Yield = 4.57 g

Percent Yield = Actual Yield/Theo Yield * 100
Percent Yield = 3.60 g/4.57 g * 100 =<em> 78.77%</em>

What is the number of moles of solute in 250 mL of a 0.4 M solution?
mafiozo [28]

Answer:

0,1 mol

Explanation:

We know that the formula of concentration is C= moles of solute/ volume  

0,4 M= moles of solute/ 250 mL

Convert mL to L      250 mL =0,25 L

0,4 M x 0,25 L= moles of solute

0,1 moles= moles of solute
