Chemistry
1 answer:

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>

Suppose that a certain fortunate person has a net worth of $77.0 billion ($). If her stock has a good year and gains $3.20 billi
marissa [1.9K]

Answer:

New net worth to three significant figures = $80.2 billion

Dollars are given to charity = $100,250,000

Explanation:

Net worth = $77.0 billion

stock Gains = $3.20 billion

New net worth = $77.0 billion + $3.20 billion = $80.20 billion

New net worth to three significant figures = $80.2 billion

One-eighth of a percent = (1/8 x 1) / 100 = 0.00125

Dollars are given to charity = 0.00125 X $80.2 billion = $100,250,000

Or

$80,200,000,000/100 = $802,000,000

Define a fluid very sort answer ​
Ganezh [65]

Answer:

A fluid is a medium that has a defined mass and volume, but no fixed shape, at a constant temperature and pressure. This may include gases, liquids, plasmas, and to some extent plastic solids. A fluid can flow and deform, preventing it from carrying loads in a static equilibrium.  A fluid is always compressible and internal frictional forces always occur due to the viscosity of the fluid.
