Halogens (atoms with 7 valence electrons) and Hydrogen
or generally, atoms with their shells almost full
<span>Hydroelectric energy uses the movement of water to spin a turbine and produce electricity. Coal is a fossil fuel that is burned as an energy source, which results in emissions such as carbon dioxide, nitrogen, and sulfur. Coal use is associated with waste products both from the mining process to acquire the coal and also from the actual use of coal itself. Hydroelectric energy does not involve waste, but does pose potential problems to waterways. Coal use is more common than the use of hydroelectric energy.</span>
Hey there!:
Molar mass of Mg(OH)2 = 58.33 g/mol
number of moles Mg(OH)2 :
moles of Mg(OH)2 = 30.6 / 58.33 => 0.5246 moles
Molar mass of H3PO4 = 97.99 g/mol
number of moles H3PO4:
moles of Mg(OH)2 = 63.6 / 97.99 => 0.649 moles
Balanced chemical equation is:
3 Mg(OH)2 + 2 H3PO4 ---> Mg3(PO4)2 + 6 H2O
3 mol of Mg(OH)2 reacts with 2 mol of H3PO4 ,for 0.5246 moles of Mg(OH)2, 0.3498 moles of H3PO4 is required , but we have 0.649 moles of H3PO4, so, Mg(OH)2 is limiting reagent !
Now , we will use Mg(OH)2 in further calculation .
Molar mass of Mg3(PO4)2 = 262.87 g/mol
According to balanced equation :
mol of Mg3(PO4)2 formed = (1/3)* moles of Mg(OH)2
= (1/3)*0.5246
= 0.1749 moles of Mg3(PO4)2
use :
mass of Mg3(PO4)2 = number of mol * molar mass
= 0.1749 * 262.87
= 46 g of Mg3(PO4)2
Therefore:
% yield = actual mass * 100 / theoretical mass
% = 34.7 * 100 / 46
% = 3470 / 46
= 75.5%
Hope that helps!
Take mass of zinc divided by the relative molecular mass - 30 for zinc ( from periodic table)
Chemical equations must always balance due to the principles outlined in The Law Of Conservation of Matter. This scientific law states that matter cannot be created out of nothing nor can it be destroyed.
