A student was asked to formulate a hypothesis about what would happen if 100 mL of 0.1 MNaOH(aq) at 25°C was combined with 100 mL of 0.1 MMgCl2 (aq) at 25°C. Which of
the following hypotheses indicates that the student thought a chemical change would
occur?

answer; i believe the correct answer is (c) /// is a homogeneous mixture of gaseous substance nitrogen,oxygen and smaller amounts of other substancesmixtures can be either ( homogeneous or heterogeneous)plz check first good luck

first, consult an activity series chart to determine if al is more reactive than fe. it is, so it will replace the fe. now, one can continue with the problem.

next, make sure you have a correctly balanced equation.

3feo + 2al ==> 3fe + al2o3

now, determine which reactant (feo or al) is in limiting supply.

moles feo present = 125 g x 1 mole/71.8 g = 1.74 moles

moles al present = 25.0 g x 1 mole/26.98 g = 0.927 moles

since from the balanced equation, it take 3 mol feo for every 2 mol al, al will be limiting.

you can determine this simply by dividing moles of each by their coefficient in the balanced equation. for example: 1.74/3 = 0.58 and 0.927/2 = 0.464. al is less, so it is limiting.

finally, using the stoichiometry in the balanced eq. determine mass of fe that can be produced from 0.927 moles of al.

0.927 moles al x 3 moles fe/2 moles al x 55.8 g/mole = 77.6 g
