7 0

Answer:

a) The limiting reactant is O2.

b) 7.57 grams of P4O10 is produced

c) 7.53 grams P4O6 remains

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of P4 = 7.55 grams

Mass of O2 = 7.55 grams

Molar mass of P4 = 123.90 g/mol

Molar mass of O2 = 32 g/mol

Step 2: The balanced equations:

P4 + 3O2-→P4O6

P4O6 + 2O2 → P4O10

Step 3: Calculate moles P4

Moles P4 = mass P4 / molar mass P4

Moles P4 = 7.55 grams / 123.90 g/mol

Moles P4 = 0.0609 moles

Step 4: Calculate moles O2

Moles O2 = 7.55 grams / 32.0 g/mol

Moles O2 = 0.236 moles

Step 5: Calculate the limiting reactant

For 1 mol P4 we need 3 moles O2 to produce 1 mol P4O6

P4 is the limiting reactant. It will completely be consumed. (0.0609 moles)

O2 is in excess. There will react 3*0.0609 = 0.1827 moles

There will remain 0.236 - 0.1827 = 0.0533 moles O2

Step 6: Calculate moles P4O6

For 1 mol P4 we need 3 moles O2 to produce 1 mol P4O6

For 0.0609 moles P4 we will have 0.0609 moles P4O6

Step 7: Calculate limting reactant

There remain 0.0533 moles O2 and there are 0.0609 moles P4O6 produced

For 1 mol P4O6 we need 2 moles O2 to produce 1 mol P4O6

<u>The limiting reactant is O2.</u> It will completely be reacted (0.0533 moles)

There will react 0.0533/2 = 0.02665 moles

There will remain 0.0609 - 0.02665 = 0.03425 moles P4O6

This is 0.03425 moles * 219.88 g/mol = <u>7.53 grams P4O6</u>

Step 8: Calculate moles P4O10

For 1 mol P4O6 we need 2 moles O2 to produce 1 mol P4O6

For 0.0533 moles O2, we'll have 0.0533/2 = 0.02665 moles P4O10

Step 9: Calculate mass P4O10

Mass P4O10 = 0.02665 moles * 283.89 g/mol

Mass P4O10 = <u>7.57 grams</u>

What is a common misconception about not following food regulations?
Dima020 [189]

Explanation:

Most Americans have encountered some bacteria at some point in their lives, whether it was acquired from restaurant food or a grocery store, which caused them to claim they later had food poisoning. There are multiple nasty bacteria that can cause this, and there are many misconceptions about how they end up in our food, and what the best ways to avoid them are. To be forewarned is to be forearmed, so here are several misconceptions about food safety and the practices involved that can leave us satisfied, or ruin our day with stomach churning nastiness.

A mixture of reactants and products for the reaction shown below is at
zavuch27 [327]

If the volume of the container were increased to 4.0 L, more N₂ and H₂ would be produced (Option D)

<h3>What is chemical equilibrium? </h3>

This is simply defined as a state in a chemical system where there is no observable change in the properties of the system with time.

<h3>Principle of chemical equilibrium </h3>

A French scientist postulated a principle which helps us to understand a chemical system in equilibrium.

The principle states as follow:

If a an external constraint such as change in temperature, pressure or concentration is imposed on a system in equilibrium, the equilibrium will shift so as to neutralize the effect.

<h3>How to determine what will happen if the volume of the container is increased from 2 L to 4 L</h3>

From the principle given above, we can see that volume does not affect equilirium position.

However, from Boyle's law, we understood that pressure and volume are in invest relationship.

Thus, increasing volume simply means decreasing pressure.

A decrease in pressure will favors the side where there is an increase in volume.

Let us consider the equation from the question:

N₂(g) + 3H₂(g) <=> 2NH₃(g)

  • Volume of reactants = 1 + 3 = 4 L
  • Volume of products = 2 L

Thus, we can conclude that increasing the volume (i.e decreasing the pressure) of the reaction will favors the backward reaction, hence, more N₂ and H₂ would be produced.

1) If the pressure on 2.6 liters of a gas at 860 Torr is increased to 1000 Torr,
LenKa [72]

2.24 liters is the volume of the gas if pressure is increased to 1000 Torr.

Explanation:

Data given:

Initial volume of the gas V1 = 2.6 liters

Initial pressure of the gas P1 = 860 Torr 1.13 atm

final pressure on the gas P2 = 1000 Torr 1.315 atm

final volume of the gas after pressure change V2 =?

From the data given above, the law used is :

Boyles Law equation:

P1V1 = P2V2

V2 = P1V1/P2

   = 1.13 X 2.6/ 1.31

  = 2.24 Liters

If the pressure is increased to 1000 Torr or 1.315 atm the volume changes to 2.24 liters. Initially the volume was 2.6 litres and the pressure was 860 torr.
