Mg(OH)2 is the correct chemical formula because it takes two Hydroxide ions to bond with Magnesium normally it would be written with a subscript number 2 rather than the parenthesis and number 2
The balanced chemical reaction would be:
FeS(s)+2HCl(aq)→FeCl2(s)+H2S(g)
We are given the amount of the reactants to be used for the reaction. We use these amounts. First, we determine the limiting reactant of the reaction. From the data, we can say that FeS is the limiting ad HCl is the excess reactant. We calculate as follows:
Amount of HCl used: 0.240 mol FeS x 2 mol HCl / 1 mol FeS = 0.48 mol HCl
0.646 - 0.48 = 0.166 mol HCl left
The bubbles that were observed after the mixing of the two substances is one of the products of the reaction. It is the carbon dioxide that is produced. To determine the mass of this gas produced, we need to remember the Law of conservation of mass where mass cannot be created or destroyed. With this, we can say that the total mass that goes in a process should be equal to the mass that is goes out of the process no matter what the reaction is. We do as follows:
Mass of reactants = mass of products
11.00 + 44.55 = 51.04 + mass of carbon dioxide
mass of carbon dioxide = 4.51 g
if the ph is above 7 then its acidic
if its below 7 than its going to be basic.
