Answer: hydrochloric acid

Explanation: 2HCl+Ca\rightarrow CaCl_2+H_2

As can be seen from the chemical equation, 2 moles of hydrochloric acid react with 1 mole of calcium.

According to mole concept, 1 mole of every substance weighs equal to its molar mass.

Thus 2\times 36.5=73 g of of hydrochloric acid reacts with 40 g of calcium.

100 g of hydrochloric acid react with=\frac{40}{73}\times 100=54.79 gof calcium

Thus HCl is the limiting reagent as it limits the formation of product and calcium is the excess reagent as (100-54.79)=45.21 g is left unreacted.

The balanced chemical reaction is:

2HCl + Ca = CaCl2 + H2

We are given the amount of the reactants to be used for the reaction. These values will be the starting point of our calculations.

100 g HCl ( 1 mol HCl / 36.46 g HCl ) = 2.74 mol HCl

100 g Ca ( 1 mol Ca / 40.08 g ) = 2.08 mol Ca

From the reaction, the mole ratio of the reactants is 2:1 where every 2 moles of hydrochloric acid, 1 mole of calcium is required. Therefore, the limiting reactant for this case is calcium.

A sample of an unknown gas at STP has a density of 0.630 gram per liter. What is the gram molecular mass of this gas?
jeyben [28]
<span>STP means standard temperature and pressure at 0°C (273K) and 1 atm (atmosphere). The density of the unknown gas is 0.63 gram per liter. The deal gas equation is PV = nRT. The n is the numer of moles and can be represented as mass of the gas, m, divided by the molar mass, c.  so we have,</span>  

PV = nRT
PV = (m/c)RT
Since the density is d = m/V
Pc = (m/V)RT
Pc = dRT
c = drT/P  

substitute the values into the equation,
c = [(0.63g/L)(0.08206 L-atm/mol-K)(273K)]/(1atm)
<u>c = 14.11 g/mol</u>

for the following reaction, draw the major organic product and select the correct iupac name for the organic reactant. if there
denpristay [2]

<span>For number two, the equation is balanced. Na in the reactant side has one atom and also in the product side. O has only one atom in the product and in the reactant. There are 2H’s in the reactant and in the product side (present in H2O, the 2 in H stands for 2 atoms of H). One atom of Cl is present in the reactant and product side.</span>

 

For number three, the reactants are NaOH-sodium hydroxide and HCl-hydrogen chloride(hydrochloric acid). The products are NaCl-sodium chloride and H2O-water.
