Answer:

Limiting reactant: P₂O₅

Grams of H₃PO₄ : 2.94 g

Excess reagent: 13.58 g of H₂O

Explanation:

So first thing you need to do is look at your balanced equation:

2P₂O₅ + 6H₂O → 4H₃PO₄

Given this equation, you will need:

2 moles of P₂O₅ to produce 4 moles of H₃PO₄

So the ratio would be:

\dfrac{2\ moles\  of\ P_2O_5}{4\ moles\ of\ H_3PO_4}

6 moles of H₂O to produce 4 moles of H₃PO₄

So the ration would be:

\dfrac{6\ moles\  of\ H_2O}{4\ moles\ of\ H_3PO_4}

These are what we call theoretical yields.

Now since the reactants given are in grams, we need to find out how many moles are there, given the mass. We just add up the molecular mass of each element in the reactants to determine that:

4.8 g of P₂O₅:

P      =     2 x 30.97 g/mole = 61.94 g/mole

<u>O     =      5 x 16.00 g/mole = 80.00 g/mole</u>

                                              141.94 g/mole

We then determine how many moles given the mass:

4.8\ g\ of\ P_2O_5 \ \times \ \dfrac{1\ mole\ of\ P_2O_5}{141.94g} = 0.03\ moles\ of  P_2O_5

15.2 g of H₂O

H =   2 x 1.00 g/mole  = 2.00 g/mole

<u>O =   1 x 16.00 g/mole = 16.00 g/mole</u>

                                      18.00 g/mole

15.2\ g\ of\ H_2O \ \times \ \dfrac{1\ mole\ of\ H_2O}{18.00g} = 0.84\ moles\ of  H_2O

Next we determine how many grams of the product are there in one mole:

H =  3 x 1.00 =     3.00 g/mole

P =   1 x 30.97 = 30.97 g/mole

<u>O = 4 x 16.00 = 64.00 g/mole</u>

                              97.97 g/mole

So now we compare that to the theoretical yield to determine how many moles of the product we can produce and convert that into grams given the following grams of reactant.

4.8 g of P₂O₅:

0.03\ moles\ of\ P_2O_5\times\ \dfrac{4\ moles\ of\ H_3PO_4}{4\ moles\ of\ P_2O_5}\times \dfrac{97.97g\ of\ H_3PO_4}{1\ mole \ of\ H_3PO_4} = 2.94g\ of\ H_3PO_4

15.2 g of H₂O

0.84\ moles\ of\ H_2O\times\ \dfrac{4\ moles\ of\ H_3PO_4}{6\ moles\ of\ H_2O}\times \dfrac{97.97g\ of\ H_3PO_4}{1\ mole \ of\ H_3PO_4} = 54.86g\ of\ H_3PO_4

Which ever produces less is the limiting reactant, and what produces the more is the excess reagent. And because the reaction will stop when one reactant is used up, the limiting reactant is what will determine how much of the product is produced.

Now to determine how much of the excess reactant will be left, we just need to compare the limiting reactant to the ratio between the two reactants used and convert it into grams. So here we go:

0.03\ moles\ of\ P_2O_5 \times \dfrac{6\ moles\ of H_2O}{2\ moles\ of\ P_2O_5}\times\dfrac{18.00g}{1\ mole\ of\ H_2O}= 1.62g\ of\ H_2O

This means that when you use up the limiting reactant, you will use 1.62 g of H₂O.

So we subtract that from what we have available:

15.2 grams of H₂O -- 1.62 g of H₂O = 13.58 g of H₂O

The conversion of acetyl chloride to methyl acetate occurs via the following two-step mechanism: Reaction sequence of acetyl chl
Svetlanka [38]

If the concentration of acetyl chloride  is increased ten times the rate of reaction is increased ten times.

The conversion of acetyl chloride to methyl acetate is a substitution reaction. Recall that a substitution reaction is one in which a moiety in a molecule is replaced by another.

In this reaction, the CH3O- ion replaces the chloride ion. In the first step, the CH3O- ion attacks the substrate in a slow step. This creates a tetrahedral intermediate. Loss of the chloride ion yields the  methyl acetate product.

The rate determining step is the formation of the tetrahedral intermediate. Since the reaction is first order in the acetyl chloride, if its concentration is increased ten times the rate of reaction is increased ten times.

Look at the rock sitting on the hill in the picture above. Gravity should make the rock slide down the hill. What force is actin
nexus9112 [7]

I believe the answer you are looking for is Static Friction. Static Friction is the force that holds an object in place until it starts to move. Then it switches to rolling friction.

For example, if you have a 1/2 ton truck sitting in front of you and the truck is in neutral. (meaning it can roll if pushed). The truck is extremely hard to move at first. That is because static friction is holding it in place until the amount of force exceeds the limit of static friction.

So if we continue to push at the truck and you feel it starting to move, then once it starts moving it is much easier to push, that is because we moved past static friction to rolling friction. Rolling friction is what helps slow things down. If you roll a ball across a carpet floor it eventually comes to a stop.
