H_3PO_32H_3PO_32H_3PO_3P_2O_3Answer:

B

Explanation:

This question is about stoichiometry. From the balanced equation P_2O_3 + 3H_2O⇒2H_3PO_3, we see that 3 moles of water is needed to react with 1 mole of P_2O_3.

This means that, to fully react 3.62 moles of P_2O_3, we would need 3*3.62 or  10.86 moles of water. However, we only have 6.31 moles, so water is the limiting reactant.

Since 3 moles of water react with 1 mole of P_2O_3, 6.31 moles of water can fully react with 6.31÷3 or 2.1033 moles of P_2O_3.

From the balanced equation, we see that every mole of P_2O_3 reacted gets you 2 moles of 2H_3PO_3. Therefore, 2.1033 moles of P_2O_3 would give you approximately 4.21 moles of H_3PO_3.

Answer:

  • <em>The coefficients in a chemical equation represent the </em><u>relative number of moles of each reactant and product that interven in the chemical reaction.</u>

Explanation:

The <em>coefficients</em> are the numbers that you put in front of each chemical formula that represents the reactants and products in the <em>chemical equation</em>. They indicate the mole ratio in which the elements or compounds react to form the products, as per the chemical equation.

See an example:

  • Word equation: hydrogen and oxygen produce water

  • Chemical (skeleton) equation: H₂ (g) + O₂(g) → H₂O (g)

      This equation is not balanced: the  number of atoms of oxygenin the reactant side is 2 while the number of atoms of oxygen isn the product side is 1. In order to balance the equation you need to add some coefficients.

When no coefficients are shown it is understood that the coefficient is 1.

  • Balanced chemical equation: 2H₂ (g) + O₂(g) → 2H₂O (g)

The coefficients 2 in front of H₂ and 1 (understood) in front of O₂, in the reactant side, and 2 in front of H₂O, in the product side, balance the equation.

Those coefficients mean that the 2 molecules (or mole of molecules) of H₂ react with 1 molecule (or mole of molecules) of O₂ to form 2 molecules (or moles) of H₂O (product side).

That is the mole ratio: 2 H₂ : 1 O₂ : 2 H₂O.

Notice that, in spite of the aboslute numbers may change, the mole ratio is unique for any chemical reaction.  For example 4 : 2 : 4 is the same ratio that 2 : 1 : 2, or 8 : 4 : 8, but the most common practice is to use the most simple form of the ratio, i.e. 2: 1: 2.

VashaNatasha [74]

Answer:

It corresponds to Charles' Law

Explanation:

Charles's Law corresponds to one of the gas laws, where temperature and volume are related, to constant pressure. That is, according to said equation, the volume of a gas varies directly with the temperature, under conditions of constant pressure.
