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.

If the freezing point of an aqueous 0.10 m glucose solution is −x°c, what is the approximate freezing point of a 0.10 m nacl sol
maks197457 [2]
Answer is: the approximate freezing point of a 0.10 m NaCl solution is -2x°C.
V<span>an't Hoff factor (i) for NaCl solution is approximately 2.
</span>Van't Hoff factor (i) for glucose solution is 1.<span>
Change in freezing point from pure solvent to solution: ΔT = i · Kf · m.
Kf - molal freezing-point depression constant for water is 1,86°C/m.
m -  molality, moles of solute per kilogram of solvent.
</span>Kf and molality for this two solutions are the same, but Van't Hoff factor for sodium chloride is twice bigger, so freezing point is twice bigger.

A sample of gas has a pressure of 742 torr. What is the pressure in atmospheres?
ycow [4]

Answer:742 torr= approximately 0.976 atm

Explanation:

Since we know that one atm= 760 torr, we can compute the following calculation:

(742 torr/1)*(1atm/760torr)=0.976316 atm

Remember sig figs (3) to round it to 0.976 atm

\frac{742 torr}{1}*\frac{1 atm}{760 torr}=0.976316=0.976 atm

(torr cancels out and we're left with atm)

Hope this helps :)
