Answer:
The independent variable is what you change in the experiment.
Explanation:
The independent determines the dependent variable.
Answer:
A double displacement reaction or double replacement reaction.
Explanation:
2Ca + O2 = 2CaO
First, determine which is the excess reactant
72.5 g Ca (1 mol) =1.8089725036
(40.078 g)
65 g O2 (1 mol) =2.0313769611
(15.999g × 2)
Since the ratio of to O2 is 2:1 in the balanced reaction, divide Ca's molar mass by 2 to get 0.9044862518. this isn't necessary because Ca is already obviously the limiting reactant. therefore, O2 is the excess reactant.
Now do the stoichiometry
72.5 g Ca (1 mol Ca) (1 mol O2)
(40.078 g Ca)(2 mol Ca)(31.998g O2)
=0.0282669621 g of O2 left over
