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.

How much energy must be added to a 2-kg piece of wood with a specific heat
lesya692 [45]

Answer:

A. 140,800 J

Explanation:

Specific heat of a material is defined as the amount of energy required to increase in 1°C 1kg of the material. <em>For wood there are required 1760J perkg per °C.</em>

The equation is:

Q = C*m*ΔT

<em>Where Q is heat in Joules,</em>

<em>C is specific heat (1760J/kg°C),</em>

<em>m is mass (2kg)</em>

<em>ΔT is change in temperature (50°C - 10°C = 40°C)</em>

Replacing:

Q = 1760J/kg°C*2kg*40°C

Q = 140800J

Right option is:

<h3>A. 140,800 J </h3>
