The balanced chemical equation for the above reaction is as follows ;
Mg + 2HCl —> MgCl2 + H2
The stoichiometry of Mg to HCl is 1:2
This means that 1 mol of Mg reacts with 2 mol of HCl
Equal amounts of both Mg and HCl have been added. One reagent is the limiting reactant and other reactant is in excess.
Limiting reactant is the reagent that is fully used up in the reaction and the amount of Product formed depends on the amount of limiting reactant present.
In this reaction if Mg is the limiting reactant, 4.40 moles of Mg should react with 4.40x2 -8.80 moles of HCl.
But only 4.40 moles of HCl present therefore HCl is the limiting reactant that reacts with 4.40/2 = 2.20 moles of Mg
Stoichiometry of HCl to MgCl2 is 2:1
Since HCl moles reacted -4.40 mol
Then MgCl2 moles formed are 4.40/2 = 2.20 mol of MgCl2

What is the overall charge of the compound frbr
sammy [17]

Answer:

Zero  

Explanation:

FrBr is an ionic compound .

Fr is in Group 1. Br is in Group 17.

The charges on the ions are +1 and -1, respectively.

The compound consists of Fr⁺Br⁻ ions.

However, there are equal numbers of + and - charges, so

The overall charge of the compound is zero.

The gas described in parts a and b has a mass of 1.66 g. the sample is most likely which monatomic gas?
nordsb [41]
Mass of the gas m = 1.66 
The calculated temperature T = 273 + 20 = 293
 We have to calculate molar mass to determine the gas
 Molar Mass = mRT / PV
 M = (1.66 x 8.314 x 293) / (101.3 x 1000 x 0.001)
 M = 4043.76 / 101.3 = 39.92 g/mol
 So this gas has to be Argon Ar based on the molar mass.

Which of the following is consistent with a spontaneous process in the forward direction?
Kryger [21]

Answer:

A) ∆Suniv >0, ∆G<0, T∆Suniv >0.

Explanation:

The connection between entropy and the spontaneity of a reaction is expressed by the <u>second law of thermodynamics</u><u>: The entropy of the universe increases in a spontaneous process and remains unchanged in an equilibrium process</u>.

Mathematically, we can express the second law of thermodynamics as follows:

For a spontaneous process: ΔSuniv = ΔSsys + ΔSsurr > 0

Therefore, the second law of thermodynamics tells us that a spontaneous reaction increases the entropy of the universe; that is, ΔSuniv > 0.

If we want spontaneity expressed only in terms  of the properties of the system (ΔHsys and ΔSsys), we use the following equation:

-TΔSuniv = ΔHsys - TΔSsys < 0

That means that T∆Suniv >0.

This equation says that for a process carried out at constant pressure and temperature  T, if the changes in enthalpy and entropy of the system are such that <u>ΔHsys - TΔSsys  is less than zero, the process must be spontaneous.</u>

Finally, if the change in free energy is less than zero (ΔG<0), the reaction is spontaneous in the forward direction.

The partial pressures of CH 4, N 2, and O 2 in a sample of gas were found to be 183 mmHg, 443 mmHg, and 693 mmHg, respectively.
Natasha2012 [34]

Answer:

Mole fraction N₂ = 0.336

Explanation:

Mole fraction of a gas can be determined in order to know the partial pressure of the gas, and the total pressure, in the mixture.

Total pressure in the mixture: Sum of partial pressure from all the gases

Total pressure = 183 mmHg + 443 mmHg + 693 mmHg =1319 mmHg

Mole fraction N₂ = Partial pressure N₂ / Total pressure

443 mmHg / 1319 mmHg = 0.336

Remember that mole fraction does not carry units

500ml of a buffer solution contains 0.050 mol nahso3 and 0.031
nydimaria [60]

Answer:

The answers are explained below

Explanation:

a)

Given: concentration of salt/base = 0.031

concentration of acid = 0.050

we have

PH = PK a + log[salt]/[acid] = 1.8 + log(0.031/0.050) = 1.59

b)

we have HSO₃⁻ + OH⁻ ------> SO₃²⁻ + H₂O

Moles i............0.05...................0.01.................0.031.....................0

Moles r...........-0.01.................-0.01................0.01........................0.01

moles f...........0.04....................0....................0.041.....................0.01

c)

we will use the first equation but substituting concentration of base as 0.031 + 10ml = 0.031 + 0.010 = 0.041

Hence, we have

PH = PK a + log[salt]/[acid] = 1.8 + log(0.041/0.050) = 1.71

d)

pOH = -log (0.01/0.510) = 1.71

pH = 14 - 1.71 = 12.29

e)

Because the buffer solution (NaHSO3-Na2SO3) can regulate pH changes. when a buffer is added to water, the first change that occurs is that the water pH becomes constant. Thus, acids or bases (alkali = bases) Additional may not have any effect on the water, as this always will stabilize immediately.
