Hello,
In this case, the undergoing chemical reaction is:
Next, we identify the limiting reactant by computing the moles of magnesium oxide yielded by 3.86 g of magnesium and 155 mL of oxygen at the given conditions via their 2:1:2 mole ratios and the ideal gas equation:
It means that the limiting reactant is the oxygen as it yields the smallest amount of magnesium oxide. Next, we compute the mass of magnesium consumed the oxygen only:
Thus, the mass in excess is:
Regards!
Answer:
a. the maximum number of σ bonds that the atom can form is 4
b. the maximum number of p-p bonds that the atom can form is 2
Explanation:
Hybridization is the mixing of at least two nonequivalent orbitals, in this case, we have the mixing of one <em>s, 3 p </em> and <em> 2 d </em> orbitals. In hybridization the number of hybrid orbitals generated is equal to the number of pure atomic orbital, so we have 6 hybrid orbital.
The shape of this hybrid orbital is octahedral (look the attached image) , it has 4 orbital located in the plane and 2 orbital perpendicular to it.
This shape allows the formation of maximum 4 σ bond, because σ bonds are formed by orbitals overlapping end to end.
And maximum 2 p-p bonds, because p-p bonds are formed by sideways overlapping orbitals. The atom can form one with each one of the orbitals located perpendicular to the plane.
Answer:
Explanation:
The chemical expression for the reaction between iron and oxygen is:
4Fe(s) + 3O₂ (g) 2Fe₂O₃ (s)
The number of moles of Fe = mass of Fe/ molecular mass of Fe
The number of moles of Fe = 56 g/ 55.845 g/mol
The number of moles of Fe = 1.002 moles of Fe
The number of moles of oxygen = mass of oxygen/ molecular mass of oxygen
The number of moles of oxygen = 156 g /32 g/mol
The number of moles of oxygen = 4.875 moles of oxygen
Assume that Fe is the limiting reactant, the number of Fe₂O₃ can be calculated as:
moles of Fe₂O₃ = 1.002 mole of Fe × 2 moles of Fe₂O₃/ 4 moles of Fe
moles of Fe₂O₃ = 0.501 mole of Fe₂O₃
Assume that O₂ is the limiting factor, the number of Fe₂O₃ is:
moles of Fe₂O₃ = 4.875 moles of O₂ × 2 moles of Fe₂O₃/ 3 moles of O₂
moles of Fe₂O₃ = 3.25 mole of Fe₂O₃
Thus, after the reaction is complete, Fe and O₂ contain different moles of Fe₂O₃. Only Fe gets consumed in the reaction and it is the limiting factor.
