If 348 grams of Mg(OH)2 reacts with excess HCl (this is CL chlorine, not C and I), how many moles of MgCl2 (this is CL chlorine,

not C and I) are produced?

Answer:

moles MgCl₂ = 5.97 moles

Explanation:

First, let0s write the overall reaction that is taking place here:

Mg(OH)₂ + HCl ----------> MgCl₂ + H₂O

Now, we need to balance this reaction:

Mg(OH)₂ + 2HCl ----------> MgCl₂ + 2H₂O

Now, the exercise already stated that the HCl is in excess, so we can assume the magnesium hydroxide is the limiting reactant. If this is true, then, to get the moles of MgCl₂ produced, all we need to do is calculate the moles of Mg(OH)₂ that reacted, using the following expression:

moles = mass / MM

The atomic weights for Mg, O and H are:

Mg: 24.305 g/mol;  H: 1 g/mol;  O = 15.999 g/mol

Let's determine the molar mass of Mg(OH)₂:

MM = 24.305 + (2 * 15.999) + (2 * 1) = 58.303 g/mol

Now, let's determine the moles:

moles = 348 g / 58.303 g/mol = 5.97 moles of Mg(OH)₂

As we can see in the overall reaction, there is a mole ration between Mg(OH)₂ and MgCl₂ of 1:1, that's why we can conclude that the moles of Mg(OH)₂ would be the same moles of MgCl₂:

<h2>moles Mg(OH)₂ = moles MgCl₂ = 5.97 moles</h2>

Hope this helps

As a technician in a large pharmaceutical research firm, you need to produce 250. mL of a potassium dihydrogen phosphate buffer
Reika [66]

Answer:

We will need 147.772 mL of KH2PO4 to make this solution

Explanation:

For this case we can give the following equation:

H2PO4 - ⇄ H+ + HPO42-

With following pH- equation:

pH = pKa + log [HPO42-]/[H2PO4-]

7.05 = 7.21 + log [HPO42-]/[H2PO4-]

-0.16 =  log [HPO42-]/[H2PO4-]

10^-0.16 = [HPO42-]/[H2PO4-]

0.6918 = [HPO42-]/[H2PO4-]

Let's say the volume of HPO42-= x  then the volume of H2PO4- will be 250 mL - x

Since both have a concentration of 1M = 1 mol /L

If we plug this in the equation 0.6918 = [HPO42-]/[H2PO4-]

0.6918 = x / (250 - x)

0.6918*250 - 0.6918x = x

172.95 = 1.6918x

x = 102.228 mL

The volume of HPO42- = 102.228 mL

Then the volume of H2PO4- = 250 - 102.228 = 147.772 mL

To control this we can plug this in the pH equation

7.05 = 7.21 + log [HPO42-]/[H2PO4-]

7.05= 7.21 + log (102.228 / 147.772) = 7.05

We will need 147.772 mL of KH2PO4 to make this solution

On a molar basis, which is a more effective bleaching agent- kbro3 or naocl?
Aleksandr-060686 [28]
<span>On a molar a basis, the most effective bleaching agent kbro3 has more oxygen, but due to the bromine, it would make things look yellowish. The bromine would counteracts the bleaching effect. As we all know, bleach is naocl or hypochlorite</span>
