4 moles of hydrogen react with 5 moles of oxygen to form water, identify the excess reagent?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Fynjy0 [20]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Excess Reagent = oxygen

Explanation:

Limiting reagent: The substance that is totally consumed when the reaction is completed.

Excess reagent: The substance left after the limiting reagent is consumed completely

The balanced chemical equation for formation of water is as follow:

2H_{2}+O_{2}\rightarrow 2H_{2}O

This means when 2 moles of hydrogen reacts with 1 mole of oxygen, 2 moles of water is produced.

Hence the ratio in which hydrogen and oxygen gas reacts is 2:1

Now if 2 mole hydrogen require 1 mole of oxygen ,then 4 mole hydrogen need 2 mole of oxygen.

H_{2}:O_{2}=2:1

or

H_{2}:O_{2}=4:2

Here 5 mole of oxygen is reacting but only 2 mole is required .

Oxygen is in excess.

Explain in terms of types of matter why methane can be broken down by chemical means but argon cannot?
Fynjy0 [20]
Argon is a pure element which means that it cannot be broken down further than it already is. Methane, however, is a hydrocarbon, which means it is made out of both hydrogen and carbon and thus can be broken down to separate those elements.

Which of the following best describes a metal? Brittle, shiny, and solid Brittle, dull, and low density Malleable, shiny, and ab
yanalaym [24]

Answer : The correct option is, Malleable, shiny, and able to conduct heat or electricity.

Explanation:

Metals : Metals are the elements which can easily loose electrons and forms cations.

Properties of metals :

  • They are lustrous (shine).
  • They are malleable and ductile (flexible).
  • They conduct heat and electricity.
  • The metallic oxides are basic in nature.
  • They form cations in an aqueous solution.

Non-metals : Non-metals are the elements which can easily gain electrons and form an anion.

Properties of non-metals :

  • They are non-lustrous.
  • They are brittle and hard in nature.
  • They do not conduct heat and electricity.
  • The non-metallic oxides are acidic in nature.
  • They form anions in an aqueous solution.

Hence, from the given options the correct option for metal is, Malleable, shiny, and able to conduct heat or electricity.

alexira [117]
The values of x represents that number of moles of water molecules that is present per mole of the salt magnesium sulfate. To determine the value for this, we need to know how much is the water that is lost after heating the sample assuming that all of the water molecules are evaporated leaving only the unhydrated form of the salt. We calculate as follows:

Mass of hydrated salt = 3.484 g
Mass after heating = 1.701 g
Mass lost = 3.484 g - 1.701 g = 1.783 g

The mass lost is equal to the mass of water lost.

Moles water lost = 1.783 g ( 1 mol / 18.02 g ) = 0.0989 mol H2O
Moles of unhydrated salt = 1.701 g ( 1 mol / 120.37 g ) = 0.0141 mol MgSO4

moles water / moles MgSO4 = 0.0989 mol H2O / 0.0141 mol MgSO4 = 7

Therefore, the value of x is 7.

A 20.0g sample of metal with a specific heat of 5 J/(g°C) raised it's initial temperature to 40.0 when 500J heat was added. What
slavikrds [6]

The initial temperature of the metal = 35 °C

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Heat can be formulated :

Q = m . c . ΔT

Q = heat, J

c = specific heat, J/g C

ΔT = temperature, °C

m = 20 g

c = 5 J/(g°C)

Q = 500 J

T₁ = 40 C

the initial temperature :

\tt \Delta t(T_2-T_1)=\dfrac{Q}{m.c}\\\\40-T_1=\dfrac{500}{20.5}\\\\40-T_1=5\\\\T_1=35^oC
