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>

Convert 7.1x10^25 molecules of water to moles
ruslelena [56]

Answer:

<h2>117.94 moles</h2>

Explanation:

To find the number of moles in a substance given it's number of entities we use the formula

n =  \frac{N}{L} \\

where n is the number of moles

N is the number of entities

L is the Avogadro's constant which is

6.02 × 10²³ entities

From the question we have

n =  \frac{7.1 \times  {10}^{25} }{6.02 \times  {10}^{23} }  \\  = 117.940199...

We have the final answer as

<h3>117.94 moles</h3>

Hope this helps you

What is refraction? * Bending of light<br> Reflection of light
sdas [7]
Refraction is the bending of light (it also happens with sound, water and other waves) as it passes from one transparent substance into another. This bending by refraction makes it possible for us to have lenses, magnifying glasses, prisms and rainbows. Even our eyes depend upon this bending of light. Hope this helps!

Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is B) electronegativities of the bonded atoms in a molecule of the compound .

Explanation:

When two atoms forming a bond differ in their electronegativities at that time bond polarity is generated

        In simple words a bond will be polar when the bonding electrons are not equally shared by two atoms.As a result the atom attract the bonding electron pair towards itself gain partial negative charge and the other atom gains partial positive charge.

       For HCl is a polar compound because H and Cl atom differ in their electronegativities,as a result the bonding electron pair is not shared equally by H and Cl atoms.
