What volume (in milliliters) of oxygen gas is required to react with 4.03 g of Mg at STP?
BigorU [14]
Mg reaction with O₂ gas will produce MgO so the equation will be
2Mg+O₂⇒2MgO. (You have to find the equation in order two figure out the number of moles of O₂ that will react with 1 mole of MgO).

The first step is to find the number of moles of Mg in 4.03g of Mg.  You can do this by dividing 4.03g Mg by its molar mass (which is 24.3g/mol) to get 0.1658mol Mg.  Then you have to find the number of moles of O₂ that will react with 0.1658mol Mg.  To do this you need to use the fact that 1mol O₂ will react with 2mol Mg (this reatio is from the chemical equation) so you have to multiply 0.1658mol Mg by (1mol O₂)/(2mol Mg) to get 0.0829mol O₂.  From here you would usually use PV=nRT and solve for V However, the question tells us that we are at STP, that means you can use the fact that 22.4L of gas is 1 mol of gas at STP.  Using that information we can find the volume of O₂ gas by mulitlying 0.0829mol O₂ by 22.4L/mol to get 1.857L which equals 1857mL.
therefore, 1857mL of O₂ gas will react with 4.03g of Mg.

I hope this helps. Let me know in the comments if anything is unclear.

A student made a graph to show the chemical equilibrium position of a reaction.
pogonyaev

Answer:

Concentration, because the amounts of reactants and products remain constant after equilibrium is reached.

Explanation:

The rate of reaction refers to the amount of reactants converted or products formed per unit time.

As the reaction progresses, reactions are converted into products. This continues until equilibrium is attained in a closed system.

When equilibrium is attained, the rate of forward reaction is equal to the rate of reverse reaction, hence the concentration of reactants and products in the system remain fairly constant over time.

When deducing the rate of reaction, concentration of the specie of interest is plotted on the y-axis against time on the x-axis.

Calculate the energy, in joules, required to ionize a hydrogen atom when its electron is initially in the n =2 energy level. The
qaws [65]

Answer:

E_{ionization}=5.45\times 10^{-19}\ J

Explanation:

E_n=-2.18\times 10^{-18}\times \frac{1}{n^2}\ Joules

For transitions:

Energy\ Difference,\ \Delta E= E_f-E_i =-2.18\times 10^{-18}(\frac{1}{n_f^2}-\frac{1}{n_i^2})\ J=2.18\times 10^{-18}(\frac{1}{n_i^2} - \dfrac{1}{n_f^2})\ J

\Delta E=2.18\times 10^{-18}(\frac{1}{n_i^2} - \dfrac{1}{n_f^2})\ J

So, n_i=2 and n_f=\infty (As the hydrogen has to ionize)

Thus,

\Delta E=2.18\times 10^{-18}(\frac{1}{2^2} - \dfrac{1}{{\infty}^2})\ J

\Delta E=2.18\times 10^{-18}(\frac{1}{2^2})\ J

E_{ionization}=5.45\times 10^{-19}\ J
