Chemistry

Hoochie [10]3 years ago

Answer:

Moles of magnesium chloride can be produced are 0.2 moles

Explanation:

The reaction of Mg with Cl2 is:

Mg + Cl₂ → MgCl₂

<em>Where 1 mole of Mg reacts per mole of Cl₂ to produce MgCl₂.</em>

<em />

As the reaction is 1:1, we need to convert the mass of both Mg and Cl₂ to moles. The lower number of moles will determine the moles of MgCl₂ that will be produced:

<em>Moles Mg -Molar mass: 24.3g/mol-:</em>

4.86g * (1mol / 24.3g) = 0.2 moles Mg

<em>Moles Cl₂ -Molar mass: 24.3g/mol-:</em>

21.27g * (1mol / 70.9g) = 0.3 moles Cl₂

As moles of Mg < moles of Cl₂, Mg is limiting reactant and moles of magnesium chloride can be produced are 0.2 moles

<u>Answer:</u> The equations are provided below.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Skeleton equations are defined as the equations which simply indicate the molecules that are involved in a chemical reaction. These equations are unbalanced equations.

Balanced equations are defined as the chemical equation in which number of individual atoms on the reactant side must be equal to the number of individual atoms on the product side.

  • For A:

Water decomposes in the direct current to form hydrogen and oxygen.

Skeleton Equation: H_2O(l)\rightarrow H_2(g)+O_2(g)

Balanced Equation: 2H_2O(l)\rightarrow 2H_2(g)+O_2(g)

  • For B:

Mercury (II) oxide decomposes in heat to form mercury, oxygen.

Skeleton Equation: HgO(s)\rightarrow Hg+O_2

Balanced Equation: 2HgO(s)\rightarrow 2Hg+O_2

  • For C:

Calcium carbonate when heated forms calcium oxide and carbon dioxide.

Skeleton Equation: CaCO_3(s)\rightarrow CaO(s)+CO_2(g)

Balanced Equation: CaCO_3(s)\rightarrow CaO(s)+CO_2(g)

  • For D:

Group 2 hydroxides, when heated forms oxide and water vapor.

Skeleton Equation: Ca(OH)_2\rightarrow CaO+H_2O

Balanced Equation: Ca(OH)_2\rightarrow CaO+H_2O
