Answer:

Ionic bonds form when a nonmetal and a metal exchange electrons, while covalent bonds form when electrons are shared between two nonmetals. ... Atoms form covalent bonds in order to reach a more stable state. A given nonmetal atom can form a single, double, or triple bond with another nonmetal.

Consider the reaction of magnesium metal with hydrochloric acid to produce magnesium chloride and hydrogen gas. if 4.40 mol of m
Georgia [21]
The balanced chemical equation for the above reaction is as follows ;
Mg + 2HCl —> MgCl2 + H2
The stoichiometry of Mg to HCl is 1:2
This means that 1 mol of Mg reacts with 2 mol of HCl
Equal amounts of both Mg and HCl have been added. One reagent is the limiting reactant and other reactant is in excess.
Limiting reactant is the reagent that is fully used up in the reaction and the amount of Product formed depends on the amount of limiting reactant present.
In this reaction if Mg is the limiting reactant, 4.40 moles of Mg should react with 4.40x2 -8.80 moles of HCl.
But only 4.40 moles of HCl present therefore HCl is the limiting reactant that reacts with 4.40/2 = 2.20 moles of Mg
Stoichiometry of HCl to MgCl2 is 2:1
Since HCl moles reacted -4.40 mol
Then MgCl2 moles formed are 4.40/2 = 2.20 mol of MgCl2

Lastly, Snape thinks we should try one more calculation. What is the retention factor if the distance traveled by the solvent fr
Neporo4naja [7]

Answer:

0.1 is the retention factor.

Explanation:

Distance covered by solvent ,d_s= 2.0 cm

Distance covered by solute or ion,d = 0.20 cm

Retention factor(R_f) is defined as ratio of distance traveled by solute to the distance traveled by solvent.

R_f=\frac{d}{d_s}

R_f=\frac{0.20 cm}{2.0 cm}=0.1

0.1 is the retention factor.
