Magnesium (used in the manufacture of light alloys) reacts with iron(III) chloride to form magnesium chloride and iron. A mixture of 41.0 g of magnesium and 175.0 g of iron(III) chloride is allowed to react. Identify the limiting reactant and determine the mass of the excess reactant present in the vessel when the reaction is complete. Select one: a. Limiting reactant is Mg; 7.4 g of FeCl3 remain. b. Limiting reactant is Mg; 46.5 g of FeCl3 remain. c. Limiting reactant is FeCl3; 1.7 g of Mg remain. d. Limiting reactant is FeCl3; 37.8 g of Mg remain. e. Limiting reactant is Mg; 134.0 g of FeCl3 remain.

Which is true of transition metals when moving from left to right on the periodic table? the d sublevels are not filled across the period. the cation radii become larger across the period. atomic radii increase slightly and then start to decrease. atomic radii decrease slightly and then start to increase. o

The earth's moon is unusually large. two popular theories of the moon's origin include the "sister world" hypothesis, which states that the moon formed from the same materials as the earth, near enough to the earth that they fell into orbit around each other. a second theory is the "capture" hypothesis, in which the moon formed elsewhere in the solar system, and the earth's gravity pulled it into its orbit. studies of what the moon is made of indicate that some of its materials had to come from the earth or from the same area of the solar system where the earth had formed. at the same time, the moon does not contain much of the material that makes up the earth's core, so the moon could not have formed from the same materials as the earth. how do the two facts above affect the described theories of the moon's origin? a. they show that scientists will never agree on where the moon came from. b. they show that more experiments on moon formation need to be done. c. they show that no theory accounts for the existence of the moon. d. they show that neither theory is complete and entirely correct.

Which process does not require the presence of a physical substance in order to transfer heat? air in the atmosphere is heated by the ground. this warm air then rises, and cooler air falls. this is an example of what type of process? how is conduction different from radiation?
