Answer:
C: The Fe is not balanced
Explanation:
The reaction expression is given as:
Fe₂O₃ + 3H₂ → Fe + 3H₂O
The problem here is to find the specie that is not balanced.
Number of moles
Specie Reactant Product
Fe 2 1
O 3 3
H 6 6
So, we see that Fe is not balanced.
Answer:
7.00 g
Explanation:
There is some information missing. I think this is the complete question:
<em>Wine goes bad soon after opening because the ethanol CH₃CH₂OH in it reacts with oxygen gas O₂ from the air to form water H₂O and acetic acid CH₃COOH, the main ingredient of vinegar. What mass of ethanol is consumed by the reaction of 4.86g of oxygen gas? Round your answer to 3 significant digits.</em>

First, we have to write the balanced equation.
CH₃CH₂OH + O₂ ⇒ CH₃COOH + H₂O
Then, we can establish the following relations:
- The molar mass of O₂ is 32.0 g/mol
- The molar ratio of O₂ to CH₃CH₂OH is 1:1
- The molar mass of ethanol is 46.1 g/mol.
The mass of ethanol that reacts with 4.86 g of oxygen is:

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
