Thanks haris, now i understand the calculations part, however I dont quite understand why mg is the limiting reagent and how can we know if it has been used up? Other than this, you didnt answer how many moles of the other reagent (in this case ethanoic acid) are left unreacted.

By the way, do u knw any good websites on moles?

Cystic fibrosis is an inherited disease which affects the lungs and digestive system. It results from mutation in a gene responsible for making a protein which is involved in the transport of ions across cell boundaries.

The effect is to produce a sticky mucus which clogs the lungs and can lead to serious infection. A similar sticky mucus also blocks the pancreas (a part of the digestive system) which provides enzymes for breaking down food. This gets in the way of the processes which convert the food into molecules which can be absorbed by the body.

thank you soo much Nid! That really helped! =)

limiting reagent is the reactant which will be used up first (fewer number of moles), therefore causing the reaction to stop
in this case there r fewer moles of mg than ch3cooh. so mg will get used up and then since there is no more mg, reaction is stopped

as to the moles of ch3cooh, i hv written that out of 0.5 moles, 0.4 will be used. so the unreacted ch3cooh is 0.1 moles.
