If 4500 g of Zr metal is reacted with 1.5 x 104 g of water what is the limiting reactant?

Answer:

Zr

Explanation:

The balance equation of the reaction is:

Zr + 2 H₂O ⇒ ZrO₂ + 2 H₂

Being:

  • Zr: 91 g/mole
  • H: 1 g/mole
  • O: 16 g/mole

the molar mass of the reactants participating in the reaction are:

  • Zr: 91 g/mole
  • H₂O: 2*1 g/mole + 16 g/mole= 18 g/mole

If by stoichiometry (that is, the relationship between the amount of reagents and products in a chemical reaction) they react in moles:

  • Zr: 1 mole
  • H₂O: 2 moles

then by stoichiometry the following quantity of mass react:

  • Zr: 1 mole*91 g/mole= 91 g
  • H₂O: 2 moles*18 g/mole=  36 g

Now the following rule of three applies: if 91 g of Zr react with 36 g of H₂O, 4500 g of Zr with how much mass of H₂O would it react?

mass of H_{2} O=\frac{4500 grams of Zr*36 grams of H_{2}O }{91 grams of Zr}

mass of H₂O= 1,780 grams

But 1780 grams of H₂0 are not available, 1.5 * 10⁴(15,000) grams are available. Since it has more mass than it needs to react with 4500 grams of Zr, Zr zirconia will be the limiting reagent.

What property do all of the group 18 elements have that make them stand out from other elements?
matrenka [14]
They are very stable (not reactive).

This is because their outer shell has a total of 8 valence electrons. All elements strive to get towards a full outer shell, but since these elements already have a full outer shell, they are fairly unreactive.

Select the correct electron configuration for Vanadium. (Atomic Number 23) 1s22s62p33s 23p44s23d5 1s22s22p63s 23p84s23d1 1s22s22
True [87]
The  correct  electronic configuration of  vanadium  23  is

 1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^64s^23d^3

This  electronic configuration  is correct because it obeys  the Aufbau principle which  state  that  electrons  fill the atomic  orbital  of  the lowest  energy  before  occupying the higher level. S  orbital  can occupy a total of  2  electrons, p orbital  can  occupy a total of  6  electrons  while d orbital can occupy a total of  10 electrons. in the  electronic configuration above  an  s orbital  is filled  before p orbital  while  the  p  orbital is  filled before  the d orbital .

andre [41]
Haber process is the large scale manufacture of a ammonia by reacting nitrogen and hydrogen at a ratio of 1:3
Change in hydrogen concentration is 0.45 - 0.16 = 0.29 moles/l
Therefore, the average rate of reaction of hydrogen = 0.29 / 30 = 0.0096 
   = 0.0096 moles/liter/sec
