How many moles of oxygen do you need to burn one mole of Mg?

Answer:

You need 0.5 moles of oxygen to burn one mole of Mg.

Explanation:

The balanced reaction is:

2 Mg + O₂ → 2 MgO

When chemical changes occur, the chemical elements are conserved, so the number of atoms is the same before and after the change. To represent this equality of the number of atoms, the expression is "balanced" or "equalized". That's why you put a two in front of the magnesium formula and a two in front of the magnesium oxide to equal the number of atoms involved in the change. These numbers used are called stoichiometric coefficients. The stoichiometric coefficients allow to establish the molar ratio in which the reactants combine and the products are formed.

By stoichiometry of the reaction (that is, the relationship between the amount of reagents and products in a chemical reaction) the following amounts of each compound participate in the reaction:

  • Mg: 2 moles
  • O₂: 1 mole
  • MgO: 2 moles

Then you can apply the following rule of three: if by reaction stoichiometry 2 moles of magnesium reacts with , 1 mole of magnesium reacts with how many moles of oxygen?

amount of moles of oxygen=\frac{ 1 mole of magnesium*1 mole of oxygen}{ 2 moles of magnesium}

amount of moles of oxygen= 0.5 moles

<u><em>You need 0.5 moles of oxygen to burn one mole of Mg.</em></u>

Answer:

3. V = 0.2673 L

4. V = 2.4314 L

5. V = 0.262 L

6. V = 2.224 L

Explanation:

3. assuming ideal gas:

  • PV = RTn

∴ R = 0.082 atm.L/K.mol

∴ V1 = 225 L

∴ T1 = 175 K

∴ P1 = 150 KPa = 1.48038 atm

⇒ n = RT/PV

⇒ n = ((0.082 atm.L/K.mol)(175 K))/((1.48038 atm)(225 L))

⇒ n = 0.043 mol

∴ T2 = 112 K

∴ P2 = P1 = 150 KPa = 1.48038 atm

⇒ V2 = RT2n/P2

⇒ V2 = ((0.082 atm.L/K.mol)(112 K)(0.043 mol))/(1.48038 atm)

⇒ V2 = 0.2673 L

4. gas is heated at a constant pressure

∴ T1 = 180 K

∴ P = 1 atm

∴ V1 = 44.8 L

⇒ n = RT/PV

⇒ n = ((0.082 atm.L/K.mol)(180 K))/((1 atm)(44.8 L))

⇒ n = 0.3295 mol

∴ T2 = 90 K

⇒ V2 = RT2n/P

⇒ V2 = ((0.082 atm.L/K.mol)(90 K)(0.3295 mol))/(1 atm)

⇒ V2 = 2.4314 L

5.  V1 = 200 L

∴ P1 = 50 KPa = 0.4935 atm

∴ T1 = 271 K

⇒ n = RT/PV

⇒ n = ((0.082 atm.L/K.mol)(271 K))/((0.4935 atm)(200 L))

⇒ n = 0.2251 mol

∴ P2 = 100 Kpa = 0.9869 atm

∴ T2 = 14 K

⇒ V2 = RT2n/P2

⇒ V2 = ((0.082 atm.L/K.mol)(14 K)(0.2251 mol))/(0.9869 atm)

⇒ V2 = 0.262 L

6.a)  ∴ V1 = 24.6 L

∴ P1 = 10 atm

∴ T1 = 25°C = 298 K

⇒ n = RT/PV

⇒ n = ((0.082 atm.L/K.mol)(298 K))/((10 atm)(24.6 L))

⇒ n = 0.0993 mol

∴ T2 = 273 K

∴ P2 = 101.3 KPa = 0.9997 atm

⇒ V2 = RT2n/P2

⇒ V2 = ((0.082 atm.L/K.mol)(273 K)(0.0993 mol))/(0.9997 atm)

⇒ V2 = 2.224 L

Consider n2 (g) + 3h2 (g) →→ 2nh3 (g). what is the mass of nitrogen gas required to react with 0.129 g h2?
Flura [38]
The given chemical reaction given above is already balanced such that the number of atoms in the left hand side of the equation is equal to that of the right hand side. Using the dimensional analysis, proper conversion factors and the molar masses,

                    mass of nitrogen = (0.129 g H₂)(1 mol H₂/2 g H₂)(1 mol N₂/3 mol H₂)(28 g N₂/1 mol N₂)
                     mass of nitrogen = 0.602 g N₂

Therefore, 0.602 g of nitrogen will be required for he reaction.
