Iodine has 7 valence electrons. It needs therefore only 1 electron to be stable this is why it is so reactive.
The ratio of reactant in grams would be influenced by the reaction equation and the molar mass of the elements. But the ratio of a reactant needed in grams would be same for a reaction.
If 2 grams of element X combine with 4 grams of element Y to form compound XY, it means the ratio of reactant in grams<span> would be 2:4 or 1:2
The number of element X needed for 28grams of element Y would be:
1/2 * 28grams = 14 grams.</span>
<span> Mg(OH)2(s) + 2HCl(aq) yield MgCl2(aq) + 2H2O(l)
grams HCl required = (50.6 grams Mg(OH)2) * (1 mol Mg(OH)2 / 58.3197 grams Mg(OH)2) * (2 mol HCl / 1 mol Mg(OH)2) * (36.453 grams HCl / 1 mol HCl) = 63.26 grams HCl required
Since there are only 45.0 grams HCl, then HCl is the limiting reactant.
theoretical yield MgCl2 = (45.0 grams HCl) * (1 mol HCl / 36.453 grams HCl) * (1 mol MgCl2 / 2 mol HCl) * (95.211 grams MgCl2 / 1 mol MgCl2) = 58.6 grams MgCl2 </span>
The part of the experiment that’s is not touched by the independent variable and is for comparison is called the :
Control Group
