Step 1 - Remembering the law of mass conservation

As stated by the law of mass conservation, in a chemical process no atoms can be created or destroyed. Consequently, the mass of the system will not change: the sum of the masses of reactants will be exactly equal the sum of the masses of products.

Step 2 - Using the law of mass conservation to understand the problem

The law of mass conservation therefore guarantees that, if we are mixing 7.2 g of C with 19.2 g of O, we will form 7.2+19.2 g of whatever is the product. Therefore we will form 26.4 g of product, which will be either CO or CO2.

Step 3 - Using mass percentage to find the correct product

Since we already know what will the mass of the product be, we can calculate the percentage of C in the product:

\text{ \%(C)=}\frac{7.2}{26.4}\times100=27.3\text{ \%}

Now, let's calculate the percentage of C in both CO (28 g/mol) and CO2 (44 g/mol), remembering that the molar mass of C is 12 g/mol:

\begin{gathered} CO\to\text{ \%(C)=}\frac{12}{28}\times100=42.8\text{ \%} \\  \\ CO_2\to\text{\%(C)=}\frac{12}{44}\times100=27.3\text{ \%} \end{gathered}

We can see that in CO2 the amount percent of C is exactly the same as we have calculated for the unknown product of this reaction. Therefore, the product is CO2.

How many moles of helium are 8.84×10^24 atoms of He?
viva [34]

Answer:

14.77 mol.

Explanation:

  • It is known that every 1.0 mole of compound or element contains Avogadro's number (6.022 x 10²³) of molecules or atoms.

<u><em>Using cross multiplication:</em></u>

1.0 mole of He contains → 6.022 x 10²³ atoms.

??? mole of He contains → 8.84 x 10²⁴ atoms.

<em>∴ The no. of moles of He contains (8.84 x 10²⁴ atoms) </em>= (1.0 mol)(8.84 x 10²⁴ atoms)/(6.022 x 10²³ atoms) =<em> 14.77 mol.</em>

Can any one please help me to answers this question i don't get it. thank in advance.
alex41 [277]
First, lets balance the reaction equation:
4Fe + 3O₂ → 2Fe₂O₃
It is visible form the equation that 4 moles of Fe require 3 moles of O₂
Molar ratio Fe/O₂ = 4/3 = 1.33
Molar ratio O₂/Fe = 3/4 = 0.75
Now, we check the molar ratios present:
Fe/O₂ = 6.8/8.9 = 0.76
O₂/Fe = 1.31

Thus, Iron is the limiting reactant because its ratio is not being fulfilled while the ratio of O₂ is surpassed.
