Answer: definite proportions.

Explanation:

1) The definite proportions law states that compounds will always have the same kind of atoms (elements) in the same mass proportion (ratios).

2) For example, a molecule of water will alwys have the same mass ratio of hydrogen atoms to oxygen atoms. That is what permits to obtain the chemical formula of the water molecule as H₂O.

The mass of the two hydrogen atoms will be in a fixed ratio respect to the mass of the oxygen atoms.

Then, if you have one reactant in less proportion than the other, respect to the ratio stated by the chemical formula of water, the former will react completely (it is the limiting reactant) with the corresponding (proportional) mass of the later. Then there will be an excess of the later reactant which will not react (will remain unchanged).

The reactants can only react in the proportion defined by the chemical formulas of the final products.

CO2(g) + H2O(I) - -> C6H12O6(s) + O2(g)

Lana71 [14]

Answer:

For instance equation C6H5C2H5 + O2 = C6H5OH + CO2 + H2O will not be balanced, but PhC2H5 + O2 = PhOH + CO2 + H2O will; Compound states [like (s) (aq) or (g)] are not required. If you do not know what products are enter reagents only and click 'Balance'. In many cases a complete equation will be suggested.

A 48.0g sample of quartz, which has a specific heat capacity of 0.730·J·g−1°C−1, is dropped into an insulated container containi

Butoxors [25]

Answer:

The equilibrium temperature of the water is 26.7 °C

Explanation:

<u>Step 1:</u> Data given

Mass of the sample quartz = 48.0 grams

Specific heat capacity of the sample = 0.730 J/g°C

Initial temperature of the sample = 88.6°C

Mass of the water = 300.0 grams

Initial temperature = 25.0°C

Specific heat capacity of water = 4.184 J/g°C

<u>Step 2:</u> Calculate final temperature

Qlost = -Qgained

Qquartz = - Qwater

Q =m*c*ΔT

Q = m(quartz)*c(quartz)*ΔT(quartz) = -m(water) * c(water) * ΔT(water)

⇒ mass of the quartz = 48.0 grams

⇒ c(quartz) = the specific heat capacity of quartz = 0.730 J/g°C

⇒ ΔT(quartz) = The change of temperature of the sample = T2 -88.6 °C

⇒ mass of water = 300.0 grams

⇒c(water) = the specific heat capacity of water = 4.184 J/g°C

⇒ ΔT= (water) = the change in temperature of water = T2 - 25.0°C

48.0 * 0.730 * (T2-88.6) -300.0 * 4.184 *(T2 - 25.0)

35.04(T2-88.6) = -1255.2 (T2-25)

35.04T2 -3104.544 = -1255.2T2 + 31380

1290.24T2 = 34484.544

T2 = 26.7 °C

The equilibrium temperature of the water is 26.7 °C

what is the mass of water vapor produced when 3.2 liters reacts with 8.7 liters of oxygen gas at STP?

uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

2.57g

Explanation:

First, let us write a balanced equation for the reaction. This is illustrated below:

2H2 + O2 —> 2H2O

Next let us determine the limiting reactant. This is achieved as follows:

From the equation,

2L H2 required 1L of O2.

Therefore, 3.2L of H will require = 3.2/2 = 1.6L of O2

From the calculation above, O2 is excess because the volume of O2 given from the question is far greater than the volume of O2 obtained from our calculation. Therefore, H2 is the limiting reactant.

Now let us covert 3.2L of H2 to mole. This is illustrated below:

1mole of a gas occupy 22.4L at stp

Therefore, Xmol of H2 will occupy 3.2L i.e

Xmol of H2 = 3.2/22.4 = 0.143mol

From the equation,

2moles of H2 produced 2moles of H2O.

Therefore, 0.143mol of H2 will also produce 0.143moles of H2O.

Now, we can obtain the mass of the water vapour produced by convert 0.143mol of H2O to gram. This is illustrated below:

Molar Mass of H2O = (2x1) + 16 = 2 + 16 = 18g/mol

Number of mole of H2O = 0.143mol

Mass of H2O =?

Mass = mole x Molar Mass

Mass of H2O = 0.143 x 18 = 2.57g

The mass of water vapour produce is 2.57g
