I hope this helps you
THEY BOTH React violently with water
THEY Both: Give off heat 
THEY Both: Give off light 

Lithium will float on the water and become engulfed in flame and then die off, and Potassium will become engulfed in flames and then explode.

1) How many liters of carbon dioxide gas will be produced at 32°C and 747 mmHg if 1.595 kg of calcium carbonate decomposes? (cal

harina [27]

Answer:

1. $V_{CO_2}=405.85L$

2. $m_{PbCl_2}=51.6gPbCl_2$

Explanation:

Hello,

1) In this case, the reaction is:

$CaCO_3\rightarrow CaO+CO_2$

Thus, since 1.595 kg of calcium carbonate, whose molar mass is 100 g/mol, is decomposed, the following moles of carbon dioxide are produced:

$n_{CO_2}=1.595kgCaCO_3*\frac{1000gCaCO_3}{1kgCaCO_3}*\frac{1molCaCO_3}{100gCaCO_3} *\frac{1molCO_2}{1molCaCO_3} \\\\n_{CO_2}=15.95molCO_2$

Then, by using the ideal gas equation we can compute the volume of carbon dioxide:

$V_{CO_2}=\frac{n_{CO_2}RT}{P}=\frac{15.95molCO_2*0.082\frac{atm*L}{mol*K}*(32+273)K}{747mmHg*\frac{1atm}{760mmHg} } \\\\V_{CO_2}=405.85L$

2) In this case, the reaction is:

$2KCl(aq)+Pb(NO_3)_2(aq)\rightarrow PbCl_2(s)+2KNO_3(aq)$

Thus, lead (II) chloride is the precipitate. In such a way, we first identify the limiting reactant by firstly computing the moles of potassium chloride and lead (II) nitrate with the volumes and the molarities:

$n_{KCl}=2.12mol/L*0.175L=0.371molKCl\\n_{Pb(NO_3)_2}=5.97mol/L*0.095L=0.567molPb(NO_3)_2$

Next, we compute the moles of potassium chloride consumed by 0.567 moles of lead (II) nitrate by using their 2:1 molar ratio:

$n_{KCl}^{consumed\ by\ Pb(NO_3)_2}=0.567molPb(NO_3)_2*\frac{2molKCl}{1molPb(NO_3)_2}=1.134molKCl$

Therefore, as just 0.371 moles of potassium chloride are available we say it is the limiting reactant, for that reason, the grams of lead (II) chloride, whose molar mass is 278.1 g/mol, precipitate finally result:

$m_{PbCl_2}=0.371molKCl*\frac{1molPbCl_2}{2molKCl}*\frac{278.1gPbCl_2}{1molPbCl_2} \\\\m_{PbCl_2}=51.6gPbCl_2$
