Answer:

Explanation:

Two moles of magnesium (Mg) and five moles of oxygen (O2) are placed in a reaction vessel. When magnesium is ignited, it reacts with oxygen. What is the limiting reactant in this experiment?

Mg + O2 → MgO (unbalanced)

first, balance the equation

2Mg +O2-------> 2MgO

two magnesium atoms react with one diatomic oxygen molecule

there is a 1:1 ratio of magnesium to oxygen atoms

but we have 2 moles of magnesium atoms and 2X5 = 10 moles of oxygen atoms

the lesser magnesium LIMITS the amount of product we can make, so it is the LIMITING REAGENT.

Why can't you get a suntan through glass
maria [59]

Answer: UV Rays can't travel through glass, making it impossible to get a suntan because your body won't be able to respond if there is no UV getting to it.

Explanation: Glass absorbs and deflects a lot of UV light because the wavelengths aren't small enough to pass through and as a result, your body can't undergo its natural response of producing melanin, because the proteins activated by the UV damage won't be enacted.

An electrolysis reaction is
Llana [10]

Answer:

the electrolysis reaction is a non- spontaneous reaction

Explanation:

Since electrons flow from it, the anode in an electrolytic cell is positive, while the cathode is negative when electrons flow into it. The device functions like a galvanic cell in that direction. In an electrolytic cell, an external voltage is applied and that is what causes a non spontaneous reaction
