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>

Please help!!! List three different rock cycles for the following: Sedimentary rock, Metamorphic rock, and Igneous rock.
ValentinkaMS [17]

Sedimentary rocks are formed when different layers of debris ( usually sand ) are forced together under pressure.

Metamorphic rock forms from other types of rock that have been changed by a combination of high heat and pressure.

Igneous rock forms when Lava/Magma cools down

For each trial, compute the mol of titrant; (molarity x L) and keep the number of significant figures to 4.
MrMuchimi

Answer:

Trial     Number of moles

           

  1          0.001249mol

  2         0.001232mol

  3          0.001187 mol

Explanation:

To calculate the <em>number of moles of tritant</em> you need its<em> molarity</em>.

Since the<em> molarity</em> is not reported, I will use 0.1000M (four significant figures), which is used in other similar problems.

<em>Molarity</em> is the concentration of the solution in number of moles of solute per liter of solution.

In this case the solute is <em>NaOH</em>.

The formula is:

          Molarity=\dfrac{\text{Number of moles of solute}}{\text{Volume of solution in liters}}

Solve for the <em>number of moles:</em>

          \text{Number of moles}=Molarity\times Volume\text{ }in\text{ }liters

Then, using the molarity of 0.1000M and the volumes for each trial you can calculate the number of moles of tritant.

Trial    mL           liters          Number of moles

           

1          12.49       0.01249        0.01249liters × 0.1000M = 0.001249mol

2         12.32      0.01232         0.01232liters × 0.1000M = 0.001232mol

3          11.87       0.01187         0.01187liters × 0.1000M = 0.001187 mol
