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.

Thermochemical equations are chemical equations that include the __________ of the reaction.
irga5000 [103]

A Thermochemical Equation is a balanced stoichiometric chemical equation that includes the enthalpy change, ΔH. In variable form, a thermochemical equation would look like this:

A + B → CΔH = (±) #

Where {A, B, C} are the usual agents of a chemical equation with coefficients and “(±) #” is a positive or negative numerical value, usually with units of kJ.

Write the net ionic equation for the reaction between hydrocyanic acid and potassium hydroxide. Do not include states such as (a
eimsori [14]

Answer:

The net ionic equation is as follows:

HCN(aq) + OH-(aq) ----> H20(l) + CN-(aq)

Explanation:

The reaction between Hydrocyanic acid, HCN, and sodium hydroxide is a neutralization reaction between a weak acid and a strong base.

Hydrocyanic acid being a weak acid ionizes only slightly, while sodium hydroxide being a strong base ionizes completely. The equation for the reaction is given below:

A. HCN(aq) + NaOH-(aq) ----> NaCN(aq) + H2O(l)

Since Hydrocyanic acid is written in the aqueous form as it ionizes only slightly and the ionic equation is given below:

HCN(aq) + Na+(aq)+OH-(aq) ----> Na+(aq)+CN-(aq) + H2O(l)

Na+ being a spectator ion is removed from the net ionic equation given below:

HCN(aq) + OH-(aq) ----> H20(l) + CN-(aq)

Is it possible for the equivalence point of a titration to not be at pH 7? Explain your answer.
lara31 [8.8K]
<span>The reason it will be 7 for some titrations is that when you  titrates a strong acid with a strong base for example  HCl and NaOH the salt formed is conjugate base of strong acid and will be a very weak base
 That means that it cannot produce any OH^-1 and all the H+ has been converted to water.The only source of H+ or OH is water with a Ka of 10^-14 so the pH = -log [H+]=-log 10^-7 = 7 
second reason is 
When you titrates a weak acid with strong base at equivalence point 
only a water solution of the conjugate base exists 

CH3COOH + NaOH ----- Na+ CH3COO^-1 + H2O 
Since the conjugate base is the conjugate base of a weak acid it will hydrolyze in water like so 
for instance Na+ CH3COO^-1 + HCl---- CH3COOH + NaCl the equivalence point will be way BELOW 7 and in the case of above will be less than 5. So pH of 7 at equivalence point is only reached in strong acid strong base titrations.
hope this helps</span>
