This is stoichiometry question which involves unit conversions.

Given values:

CaO mass = 11.2g

NH4Cl mass = 22.4g

First convert the two given values to moles.

(11.2g CaO)(1mol CaO / 56.08g CaO) = 0.20mol CaO

(22.4g NH4Cl)(1mol NH4Cl / 53.49g NH4Cl) = 0.42mol NH4Cl

CaO reacts with NH4Cl on a 1:2 ratio.  This means that the reactants will react in this ratio: 0.20mol CaO: 0.40mol NH4Cl.  There will be an excess of 0.02mol NH4Cl unreacted because CaO is the limiting reagent (CaO is used up completely in the reaction and excess NH4Cl remains unreacted).

Now given the equation:

CaO(s) + 2 NH4Cl(s) = 2 NH3(g) + H2O(g) + CaCl2(s)

It is seen that every 2mol of NH4Cl reacts to form 2mol of NH3 because all the elements in the composition of NH3 is found in NH4Cl.  This means that NH4Cl and NH3 are on a 1:1 reaction ratio.  Now we use this relationship:

0.40mol NH4Cl reacted : 0.40mol NH3 produced.  Convert NH3 produced to grams to find solution:

(0.40mol NH3)(17.03g NH3 / 1mol NH3) = 6.8g NH3 produced a)


We determined the excess reactant as 0.02mol NH4Cl in a).  Now we convert it to grams:

(0.02mol NH4Cl)(53.49g NH4Cl / 1mol NH4Cl) = 1.07g NH4Cl unreacted b)

Give the nuclear symbol for the isotope of potassium for which a=40?
KATRIN_1 [288]

<span>nuclear symbol consists of three parts: 1. the symbol of the element; 2. the atomic number of the element;3. the mass of the element. for the above problem, the symbol for potassium is k. it's atomic number is 40. the number of protons is 19. so we denote this in the following nuclear symbol; 40 k 19</span>

I AM SO STUCK!
ankoles [38]
1kg is about 2.2 pounds. So 4kg = 8.8 pounds. If that represent 19% of the total, here is the answer.
0.19*x=8.8
x=8.8/0.19
x=46.31 pounds

A 50.0 g sample of scandium, sc, is heated by exposure to 1.50 x 10 3 j. The temperature of the sc is raised by 61.1 o
statuscvo [17]

Given mass of Scandium = 50.0 g

Increase in temperature of the metal when heated = 61.1^{0}C

Heat absorbed by Scandium = 1.50*10^{3}J

The equation showing the relationship between heat, mass, specific heat and temperature change:

Q = m C (deltaT)

Where Q is heat = 1.50*10^{3}J

m is mass = 50.0 g

ΔT = 61.1^{0}C

On plugging in the values and solving for C(specific heat) we get,

1.50*10^{3}J=50.0g(C)(61.1^{0}C)

C = 0.491\frac{J}{g^{0}C }

Specific heat of the metal = 0.491\frac{J}{g^{0}C }
