1) Find the number of mols of HCl in 5.2 liters of 4.0M solution:
n = M*V(L) = 4.0 mol/L * 5.2 L = 20.8 mol
2) Find the number of mols of Mg that will react with 20.8 mol of HCl, using the coefficients of the balanced equation
[1mol Mg / 2 mol HCl] * 20.8 mol HCl = 10.4 mol Mg
3) Transform mol to mass using the atomic mass:
10.4 mol Mg * 24.3 g/mol = 252.7 g of Mg.
The main use of litmus is to test whether a solution is acidic or basic. Blue litmus paper turns red under acidic conditions and red litmus paper turns blue under basic or alkaline conditions, with the color change occurring over the pH range 4.5–8.3 at 25 °C (77 °F).
Answer:
Explanation:
You look at the type of atom and their electronegativity difference.
If ΔEN <1.6, covalent; if ΔEN >1.6, ionic
Ar/Xe: Noble gases; no reaction
F/Cs: Non-metal + metal; ΔEN = |3.98 – 0.79| = 3.19; Ionic
N/Br: Two nonmetals; ΔEN = |3.04 - 2.98| = 0.
