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.

What is the relative atomic mass of an element
Gennadij [26K]

Answer:

20.2 amu.

Explanation:

Let A represent isotope ²⁰X

Let B represent isotope ²²X

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

For Isotope A (²⁰X):

Mass of A = 20

Abundance (A%) = 90%

For Isotope B (²²X):

Mass of B = 22

Abundance (A%) = 10%

Relative atomic mass (RAM) =?

The relative atomic mass (RAM) of the element can be obtained as follow:

RAM = [(Mass of A × A%)/100] + [(Mass of B × B%)/100]

RAM = [(20 × 90)/100] + [(22 × 10)/100]

RAM = 18 + 2.2

RAM = 20.2 amu

Thus, relative atomic mass (RAM) of the element is 20.2 amu
