luminum and oxygen react according to the following equation: 4Al(s) +3O2(g) --> 2Al2O3(s) What mass of Al2O3, in grams, can
Slav-nsk [51]

Answer: 8.7 grams

Explanation:

According to avogadro's law, 1 mole of every substance occupies 22.4 L at STP and contains avogadro's number 6.023\times 10^{23} of particles.  

To calculate the moles, we use the equation:

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text {Molar mass}}=\frac{4.6g}{27g/mol}=0.17moles

4Al(s)+3O_2(g)\rightarrow 2Al_2O_3(s)

As oxygen is in excess, Aluminium is the limiting reagent and limits the formation of products.

According to stoichiometry:

4 moles of aluminium give = 2 moles of Al_2O_3(s)

Thus 0.17 moles of aluminium give=\frac{2}{4}\times 0.17=0.085mol

Mass of Al_2O_3=moles\times {\text {molar mass}}=0.085\times 102g/mol=8.7g

Thus the mass of Al_2O_3(s)  is 8.7 grams

There are 100.0 grams of each reactant available determine the limiting reactant in this equation
Romashka [77]
Since you have not included the chemical reaction I will explain you in detail.

1) To determine the limiting agent you need two things:

- the balanced chemical equation

- the amount of every reactant involved as per the chemical equation

2) The work is:

- state the mole ratios of all the reactants: these are the ratios of the coefficientes of the reactans in the balanced chemical equation.


- determine the number of moles of each reactant with this formula:

number of moles = (mass in grams) / (molar mass)

- set the proportion with the two ratios (theoretical moles and actual moles)


- compare which reactant is below than the stated by the theoretical ratio.

3) Example: determine the limiting agent in this reaction if there are 100 grams of each reactant:

i) Chemical equation: H₂ + O₂ → H₂O

ii) Balanced chemical equation: 2H₂ + O₂ → 2H₂O

iii) Theoretical mole ration of the reactants: 2 moles H₂ : 1 mol O₂

iv) Covert 100 g of H₂ into number of moles

n = 100g / 2g/mol = 50 mol of H₂

v) Convert 100 g of O₂ to moles: 

n = 100 g / 32 g/mol = 3.125 mol

vi) Actual ratio: 50 mol H₂ / 3.125 mol O₂

vii) Compare the two ratios:

2 mol H₂ / 1 mol O ₂ < 50 mol H₂ / 3.125 mol O₂

Conclusion: the actual ratio of H₂ to O₂ is greater than the theoretical ratio, meaning that the H₂ is in excess respect to the O₂. And that means that O₂ will be consumed completely while some H₂ will remain without react.

Therefore, the O₂ is the limiting reactant in this example.

9. How many grams are in 2.0 x 105 molecules of carbon monoxide?
timama [110]

Answer: 9.3 x 10^ 18 g CO

Explanation:

Start by knowing that carbon monoxide is the compound CO. To convert molecules to grams, you first need to convert molecules to moles. This can be done using the conversion factor for Avogadro's Number:

(2.0 x 10^5 molecules CO) x 1 mol CO / 6.02 x 10^23 molecules CO

This cancels molecules CO.

Then, you can convert moles to grams, which is your desired quantity. You can find the number of grams for CO by looking at the periodic table and adding together their masses. C = 12 g and O = 16 g. Total of 28 g CO:

(1 mol CO) x 28 g CO / 1 mol CO

This cancels mol CO, which leaves grams CO.
