Answer:

4Fe + 3O₂ → 2Fe₂O₃

General Formulas and Concepts:

Chemistry - Reactions

Balancing Reactions

Explanation:

Step 1: Define

RxN: Fe + O₂ → Fe₂O₃

Step 2: Balance

We need to balance both Fe and O.

LCM of 2 and 3 is 6:

Fe + 3O₂ → 2Fe₂O₃

We now need the same amount of Fe on both sides:

4Fe + 3O₂ → 2Fe₂O₃

Is there a phobia for chemical reactions specifically?

gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Answer:

chemonoia

Explanation:

Many people have a strong fear of “chemicals” that belies the evidence. It's called chemonoia – and it may be damaging their health. If you were paranoid, you might think there really was something in the water that's damaged our sense of reason.

Explain the connection between reactants, products and limiting reactant.

balu736 [363]

In easy words the connection between Reactants, Products and Limiting reactants is as follow,

Reactants and Products:
Reactants are the starting materials for the synthesis of final synthesized materials called as products.

Example:
CH₄ + 2 O₂ → CO₂ + 2 H₂O

In above reaction Methane (CH₄) and Oxygen (O₂) are the reactants while, CO₂ and H₂O are the products.

Reactants, Products and Limiting Reactants:
Considering the same example it is seen that for one mole of CO₂ two moles of O₂ are required to completely convert into CO₂ and H₂O. If either of the reactant is taken less than the required amount then it will act as a limiting reactant because it will consume first leaving the second reactant present in excess as compare to it. Hence, we can say that the limiting reactant is the starting material which controls the amount of product being formed.

Magnesium metal (0.100 mol) and a volume of aqueous hydrochloric acid that contains 0.500 mol of HCl are combined and react to c

jok3333 [9.3K]

Answer:

2.24 L of hydrogen gas, measured at STP, are produced.

Explanation:

Given, Moles of magnesium metal, $Mg$ = 0.100 mol

Moles of hydrochloric acid, $HCl$ = 0.500 mol

According to the reaction shown below:-

$Mg_{(s)} + 2HCl_{(aq)}\rightarrow MgCl_2_{(aq)} + H_2_{(g)}$

1 mole of Mg reacts with 2 moles of $HCl$

0.100 mol of Mg reacts with 2*0.100 mol of $HCl$

Moles of $HCl$ must react = 0.200 mol

Available moles of $HCl$ = 0.500 moles

Limiting reagent is the one which is present in small amount. Thus, $Mg$ is limiting reagent.

The formation of the product is governed by the limiting reagent. So,

1 mole of $Mg$ on reaction forms 1 mole of $H_2$

0.100 mole of $Mg$ on reaction forms 0.100 mole of $H_2$

Mole of $H_2$ = 0.100 mol

At STP,

Pressure = 1 atm

Temperature = 273.15 K

Volume = ?

Using ideal gas equation as:

$PV=nRT$

where,

P is the pressure

V is the volume

n is the number of moles

T is the temperature

R is Gas constant having value = 0.0821 L.atm/K.mol

Applying the equation as:

1 atm × V L = 0.100 × 0.0821 L.atm/K.mol × 273.15 K

⇒V = 2.24 L

2.24 L of hydrogen gas, measured at STP, are produced.
