The reaction between oxygen, O2, and hydrogen, H2, to produce water can be expressed as,
2H2 + O2 --> 2H2O
The masses of each of the reactants are calculated below.
2H2 = 4(1.01 g) = 4.04 g
O2 = 2(16 g) = 32 g
Given 1.22 grams of oxygen, we determine the mass of hydrogen needed.
(1.22 g O2)(4.04 g H2 / 32 g O2) = 0.154 g of O2
Since there are 1.05 grams of O2 then, the limiting reactant is 1.22 grams of oxygen.
<em>Answer: 1.22 g of oxygen</em>
The violet light has the shortest wavelength.
Zn+2HCl ----> 2ZnCl2 + H2
For 2.50 g of Zn
Mass per mol = 2.50/molar mass of Zn = 2.50/65.38 = 0.0382 g/mol
There are two moles of ZnCl2 and total mass = 2*0.0382*molar mass of ZnCl2 = 2*0.0382*136.286 = 10.42 g
For 2 g of HCl
Mass per mol = 2/2*molar mass of HCl = 2/ (2*36.46) = 0.0274 g/mol
For the two moles of ZnCl2, mass produced = 2*0.0274*136.286 = 7.48 g
It can be noted that 2 g of HCl produced less amount of ZnCl and thus it is the limiting reagent.
Is there any answer choices before i get started on working out the problem
