If 12.5 grams of strontium hydroxide is reacted with 150 mL of 3.5 M carbonic acid, identify the limiting reactant.

kiruha [24]

Answer:

Sr(OH)₂ will be the limiting reagent.

Explanation:

First of all, you should know the following balanced chemical equation:

2 H₂CO₃ + 2 Sr(OH)₂ → 4 H₂O + Sr₂(CO₃)₂

The balanced equation is based on the Law of Conservation of Mass, which says that matter cannot be created or destroyed. Therefore, the number of each type of atom on each side of a chemical equation must be the same.

The limiting reagent is one that is consumed first in its entirety, determining the amount of product in the reaction. When the limiting reagent is finished, the chemical reaction will stop.

To determine the limiting reagent, it is possible to use the reaction stoichiometry of the reaction (that is, the relationship between the amount of reagents and products in a chemical reaction). By stoichiometry the following amounts in moles react:

strontium hydroxide: 2 moles
carbonic acid: 2 moles

Now, you know the following masses of the elements:

Sr: 87.62 g/mole
O: 16 g/mole
H: 1 g/mole

So the molar mass of strontium hydroxide is:

Sr(OH)₂= 87.62 g/mole + 2*(16 g/mole + 1 g/mole)= 121.62 g/mole

You apply the following rule of three, if 121.62 grams of hydroxide are present in 1 mole, 12.5 grams in how many moles are they?

$moles of strontium hydroxide=\frac{12.5 grams*1 mole}{121.62 grams}$

moles of hydroxide= 0.103 moles

On the other hand, you have 150 ml of 3.5 M carbonic acid. Since molarity is the concentration of a solution expressed in the number of moles dissolved per liter of solution, you can apply the following rule of three: if in 1 L there are 3.5 moles of carbonic acid, in 0.150 L (being 1 L = 1000 mL, 0.150 L = 150 mL) how many moles of acid are there?

$molesofcarbonicacid=\frac{0.150 L*3.5 moles}{1 L}$

moles of carbonic acid= 0.525 moles

Finally, to calculate the limiting reagent, you can use a simple rule of three as follows: if by stoichiometry 2 mole of strontium hydroxide reacts with , how much moles of carbonic acid will be needed if 0.103 moles of strontium hydroxide react?

$molesofcarbonicacid=\frac{0.103 moles of strontium hydroxide*2 moles of carbonic acid}{2 moles of strontium hydroxide}$

moles of carbonic acid= 0.103 moles

But 0.525 moles are available. Since more moles are available than you need to react with 0.103 moles of strontium hydroxide, <u><em>Sr(OH)₂ will be the limiting reagent.</em></u>

Sulfur dioxide gas (SO2) and oxygen gas (O2) react to form the liquid product of sulfur trioxide (SO3). How much sulfur dioxide

taurus [48]

1) Balanced chemical equation:

2SO2 (g) + O2 (g) -> 2SO3 (l)

2) Molar ratios

2 mol SO2 : 1 mol O2 : 2 mol SO3

3) Convert 6.00 g O2 to moles

number of moles = mass in grams / molar mass

number of moles = 6.00 g / 32 g/mol = 0.1875 mol O2.

4) Use proportions with the molar ratios

=> 2 moles SO2 / 1 mol O2 = x / 0.1875 mol O2

=> x = 0.1875 mol O2 * 2 mol SO2 / 1 mol O2 = 0.375 mol SO2.

5) Convert 0.375 mol SO2 to grams

mass in grams = number of moles * molar mass

molar mass SO2 = 32 g/mol + 2*16 g/mol = 64 g/mol

=> mass SO2 = 0.375 mol * 64 g / mol = 24.0 g

Answer: 24.0 g of SO2 are needed to react completely with 6.00 g O2.

I In a smaller room, such as a bathroom, the reflected sound can reverberate (echo in many directions) off the smooth tile. Why

AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

It is common knowledge that quite a number of people enjoy singing in the shower. There are reasons for this!

In the shower, there are many surfaces that reflect the sound of your voice as you sing. That makes your voice to sound more powerful and have more volume.

The reverberation of the sound makes the sound of your voice stronger and more intense altogether enriching the music produced as you sing.

Use the exponential term in the Arrhenius equation to explain how temperature affects reaction rate.

WINSTONCH [101]

The Arrhenius equation describes the relation between the rate of reaction and temperature for many physical and chemical reactions

It is an expression that provides a relationship between the rate constant (of a chemical reaction), the absolute temperature.

The Arrhenius equation,

k = $zpe^{\frac{- Ea}{RT} }$ , where

k is the rate constant,

z is the collision factor,

p is the steric factor,

Ea is the activation energy,

R = 8.3245 $\frac{J}{mol. K}$ is the ideal gas constant, and,

T is the temperature.

The activation energy by definition, is the minimum energy (or threshold energy) required for two particles of reactants upon collision to form products.

The Arrhenius equation could also be written as:

⇒ k = $Ae\frac{-Ea}{RT}$ , where

⇒ A = zp, the Arrhenius factor.

Taking the neutral logarithm of both parties, we get:

⇒ In k = $\frac{-Ea}{RT}\frac{(1)}{(T)}$ + In A,

Assuming that, A is independent of temperature, when T is increased, the equilibrium constant k will also increase and therefore, the rate of the reaction will also increase.

Short note of parents as inspires

REY [17]

Answer:

My role models are my parents. They are my pillars of strength. They are my guide and give me the courage to battle obstacles in life.

My mother, being a working professional, manages all her work perfectly and with efficiency.

My father goes to office, but still does not forget to help me with my studies. They always encourage me in every aspect and motivate me even when I do not succeed.

My mother always smiles, no matter what the circumstances are and that gives me the strength and inspiration to face all problems.

My parents have made me understand what life is about and how to find that little ray of happiness in difficult situations.

What I am today and what I will become in future involves the support and affection of my parents. They have made me disciplined, dedicated and sincere.

A role model does not have to be a famous personality. It can be anyone who makes us believe in ourselves.

My parents fill sweetness in my life. From childhood I have learnt everything from my parents.

Not just parents, I also consider my teachers as role models. Even they guide me and show the path of success.

They have turned me into a fighter in the war of life
