Consider the reaction 2Al + 6HBr → 2AlBr3 + 3H2. If 8 moles of Al react with 8 moles of HBr, what is the limiting reactant?

TiliK225 [7]

Answer:- HBr is limiting reactant.

Solution:- The given balanced equation is:

$2Al+6HBr\rightarrow 2AlBr_3+3H_2$

From this equation, There is 2:6 mol or 1:3 mol ratio between Al and HBr. Since we have 8 moles of each, HBr is the limiting reactant as we need 3 moles of HBr for each mol of Al.

The calculations could be shown as:

$8molAl(\frac{6molHBr}{2molAl})$

= 24 mol HBr

From calculations, 24 moles of HBr are required to react completely with 8 moles of Al but only 8 moles of it are available. It clearly indicates, HBr is limiting reactant.

A compound is composed of C, H and O. A 1.621 g sample of this compound was combusted, producing 1.902 g of water and 3.095 g of

vlada-n [284]

Answer: The molecular of the compound is, $C_2H_3O$

Explanation:

The chemical equation for the combustion of hydrocarbon having carbon, hydrogen and oxygen follows:

$C_xH_yO_z+O_2\rightarrow CO_2+H_2O$

where, 'x', 'y' and 'z' are the subscripts of Carbon, hydrogen and oxygen respectively.

We are given:

Mass of $CO_2=3.095g$

Mass of $H_2O=1.902g$

We know that:

Molar mass of carbon dioxide = 44 g/mol

Molar mass of water = 18 g/mol

For calculating the mass of carbon:

In 44 g of carbon dioxide, 12 g of carbon is contained.

So, in $3.095g$ of carbon dioxide, $\frac{12}{44}\times 3.095=0.844g$ of carbon will be contained.

For calculating the mass of hydrogen:

In 18 g of water, 2 g of hydrogen is contained.

So, in $1.902g$ of water, $\frac{2}{18}\times 1.092=0.121g$ of hydrogen will be contained.

For calculating the mass of oxygen:

Mass of oxygen in the compound = $(1.621)-[(0.844)+(0.121)]=0.656g$

To formulate the empirical formula, we need to follow some steps:

Step 1: Converting the given masses into moles.

Moles of Carbon = $\frac{\text{Given mass of Carbon}}{\text{Molar mass of Carbon}}=\frac{0.844g}{12g/mole}=0.0703moles$

Moles of Hydrogen = $\frac{\text{Given mass of Hydrogen}}{\text{Molar mass of Hydrogen}}=\frac{0.121g}{1g/mole}=0.121moles$

Moles of Oxygen = $\frac{\text{Given mass of oxygen}}{\text{Molar mass of oxygen}}=\frac{0.656g}{16g/mole}=0.041moles$

Step 2: Calculating the mole ratio of the given elements.

For the mole ratio, we divide each value of the moles by the smallest number of moles calculated which is $0.041$ moles.

For Carbon = $\frac{0.0703}{0.041}=1.71\approx 2$

For Hydrogen = $\frac{0.121}{0.041}=2.95\approx 3$

For Oxygen = $\frac{0.041}{0.041}=1$

Step 3: Taking the mole ratio as their subscripts.

The ratio of C : H : O = 2 : 3 : 1

Hence, the empirical formula for the given compound is $C_2H_3O_1=C_2H_3O$

The empirical formula weight = 2(12) + 3(1) + 1(16) = 43 gram/eq

Now we have to calculate the molecular formula of the compound.

Formula used :

$n=\frac{\text{Molecular formula}}{\text{Empirical formula weight}}$

$n=\frac{46.06}{43}=1$

Molecular formula = $(C_2H_3O_1)_n=(C_2H_3O_1)_1=C_2H_3O$

Therefore, the molecular of the compound is, $C_2H_3O$

Given the reactant side of the total ionic equation for the neutralization reaction of lithium hydroxide (LiOH) with hydrochlori

Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:


Li⁺ (aq) + OH⁻ (aq) + H⁺ (aq) + Cl⁻(aq) → Li⁺ (aq) + Cl⁻ (aq) + H₂O(l)

Explanation:


1) Combine the cation Li⁺ (aq) with the anion Cl- (aq) to form LiCl(s).

LiCl is a solid soluble substance, a typical ionic compound. So, it will reamain as separate ions in the product side: Li⁺ + CL⁻

2) Combine the anion OH⁻ with the cation H⁺ to form H₂O(l).

Since, the ionization of H₂O is low, it will remain as liquid in the product side: H₂O(l)

3) Finally, you can wirte the total ionic equation:

Li⁺ (aq) + OH⁻ (aq) + H⁺ (aq) + Cl⁻(aq) → Li⁺ (aq) + Cl⁻ (aq) + H₂O(l)

How do you think a country's GDP affects its citizen ability to consume

Aliun [14]

The larger the GDP the better the overall economy of the country. It means more produced equals more for domestic consumption and hopefully an excess for export. It is essentially the production of wealth that will increase the standard of living for every citizen. Remember, GDP is the measure of the value of the gross domestic production of goods and services.

Look up and record the boiling point of acetic acid, and explain why only some of it evaporates from the reaction mixture.

REY [17]

Answer:

Heating the mixture to a temperature above the boiling point of acetic acid, but below 100°C (the boiling point of water). The vapours from the acetic acid rise, and go into a tube. They are then condensed within the tube, and run off into a separate storage area. Because water can exist as a gas at pretty much any temperature above 0°C, it will result in an impure mixture, but repeatedly doing this will get the acetic acid to the desired purity.
