For the reaction HNO3 + Mg(OH)2→ Mg(NO3)2 + H2O, how many grams of magnesium nitrate are produced from 8.00 mol of nitric acid, HNO3? Balance the equation

tha mass of magnesium nitrate is 592g

Explanation:

from a balanced chemical equation

2HNO3 + Mg(OH)2→ Mg(NO3)2 + 2H2O

2 mol of nitric acid is equivalent to 1 mol of magnesium nitrate. then 8 mol of nitric acid will be equivalent to 4 mol of magnesium nitrate.

2HNO3 + Mg(OH)2 --> 2H2O + Mg(NO3)2

593.2 grams Mg(NO3)2

Explanation:

First, balance the equation

The first thing I notice is that there are 2 nitrates on the reactant side so I would put a 2 in front of HNO3. Now the problem is that there are 4 hydrogens on the reactants side, so add a 2 to H2O.

Next is stoichiometry

We are looking for Mg(NO3)2 so use the balanced equation to create a mole ratio and then convert to grams.

8 mol HNO3 * 1 mol Mg(NO3)2/2 mol HNO3 * 148.3 g Mg(NO3)2/1 mol Mg(NO3)2 = 593.2 grams Mg(NO3)2

the number of protons in the nucleus of a given element. has slight luster and conducts electricity at high temperatures like metal.but like a nonmetal,boron is brittle and does not conduct electricity well at low temperatures. in graphite, carbon is a soft,brittle solid.it is reflective,ductile,or malleable.

answer:

the answer is 6 valence electrons.

explanation:

valence is the # of electrons on the outer most shell of an atom.

oxygen has 6.

although, the valency of oxygen is 2, because it only needs to make 2 covalent bonds, or gain 2 electrons, to achieve the stable octet configuration of a noble gas.

that's it!
