Answer : 6.41 moles of silicon are in the sample.
Solution : Given,
Moles of magnesium = 9.62 moles
The given chemical formula for talc is,
From the given chemical formula we conclude that
The stoichiometry of magnesium and silicon is 3 : 2
3 moles of magnesium is equivalent to 2 moles of silicon
9.62 moles of magnesium will be equivalent to moles of silicon
Therefore, the number of silicon present in sample are 6.41 moles.
Answer: Correct options are as follows.
Explanation:
When salt is dissolved in water then it means that it is a physical change as salt has completely dissociated into ions but they are not chemically combined to the water molecules.
As a result, both salt and water will retain their chemical properties.
For example, NaCl when dissolved in water will dissociate as follows.
Only the particles of salt have evenly distributed in water.
And, when a components of a salt chemically combine with another substance then it will form a new compound.
Therefore, we can conclude that salt dissolved in water is a solution, therefore:
Reactant C is the limiting reactant in this scenario.
Explanation:
The reactant in the balanced chemical reaction which gives the smaller amount or moles of product is the limiting reagent.
Balanced chemical reaction is:
A + 2B + 3C → 2D + E
number of moles
A = 0.50 mole
B = 0.60 moles
C = 0.90 moles
Taking A as the reactant
1 mole of A reacted to form 2 moles of D
0.50 moles of A will produce =
thus 0.50 moles of A will produce 1 mole of D
Taking B as the reactant
2 moles of B reacted to form 2 moles of D
0.60 moles of B reacted to form x moles of D
=
x = 2 moles of D is produced.
Taking C as the reactant:
3 moles of C reacted to form 2 moles of D
O.9 moles of C reacted to form x moles of D
=
= 0.60 moles of D is formed.
Thus C is the limiting reagent in the given reaction as it produces smallest mass of product.
