Answer:

b. independent/manipulated variable

Explanation:

Independent/manipulated variable - refers to the variable that is changed by the scientist or an experimenter. Only one variable that is independent is required to ensure a fair test in an excellent experiment. As the independent variable is being changed by an experimenter or scientist, data is being recorded simultaneously as they are collected.

If 0.40 mol of H2 and 0.15 mol of O2 were to react as completely as possible to produce H2O what mass of reactant would remain?

liberstina [14]

Answer : The mass of reactant $H_2$ remain would be, 0.20 grams.

Solution : Given,

Moles of $H_2$ = 0.40 mol

Moles of $O_2$ = 0.15 mol

Molar mass of $H_2$ = 2 g/mole

First we have to calculate the limiting and excess reagent.

The balanced chemical reaction is,

$2H_2+O_2\rightarrow 2H_2O$

From the balanced reaction we conclude that

As, 1 mole of $O_2$ react with 2 mole of $H_2$

So, 0.15 moles of $O_2$ react with $0.15\times 2=0.30$ moles of $H_2$

From this we conclude that, $H_2$ is an excess reagent because the given moles are greater than the required moles and $O_2$ is a limiting reagent and it limits the formation of product.

The moles of reactant $H_2$ remain = 0.40 - 0.30 = 0.10 mole

Now we have to calculate the mass of reactant $H_2$ remain.

$\text{ Mass of }H_2=\text{ Moles of }H_2\times \text{ Molar mass of }H_2$
