Calculate the mass of excess reagent remaining at the end of the reaction in which 90.0 g of SO2 are mixed with 100.0 g of O2

We have to first write a balanced equation.
so2 + o2 -> so3

this is not balanced though. we have 3 oxygen on right and 4 on left
2so2 + o2 -> 2so3

now it is same on both sides. we have to figure out which is limiting reagent with the given amounts of reagents. we do this by comparing the ratio between them in terms of moles. we see that so2 has a coefficient of 2 and o2 has none which implies 1 and so3 has 2. this means that for every 2 moles of so2 reacting with 1 mole of o2, we get 2 moles of so3.

lets convert the given values to moles. to do this we know that molecular weight is measured in grams per mole. we are given grams and need to cancel out the grams to get moles. so the molecular weight:
so2 =32.1 + 2 * 16 = 64.1 g/mol
o2 = 2 * 16 = 32 g/mol
so3 = 32.1 + 3 * 16 = 80.1 g/mol

now to convert 90 g of 2so2 under ideal conditions.
90g / 64.1g/mol = 1.404 moles

convert this amount of moles of so2 to moles of o2. we have 2 moles of so2 to 1 of o2
1.404moles so2 / 2 moles so2 * 1 mole o2= 0.702 moles o2

so we see under ideal conditions that 90g of so2 would react with .702g of o2. lets see how many we actually have with 100g of o2
100g / 32g/mol =3.16 mol.

so we have a lot more o2 than needed. we are looking for how much is left in grams. we have to figure out how much was used. to do this convert our ideal moles of o2 into grams.
.702 moles o2 * 32g/mol = 22.5g o2

so what we startrd with (100g) minus what we needed (22.5g) is what we have left
100 - 22.5 = 77.5g o2

Which pair of atoms will MOST likely form a covalent bond?
Gelneren [198K]

Answer:

An atom with 1 valence electron and an atom with 7 valence electrons

Explanation:

Covalent bond:

It is formed by the sharing of electron pair between bonded atoms.  

The atom with larger electronegativity attract the electron pair more towards it self and becomes partial negative while the other atom becomes partial positive.

For example:

In water the electronegativity of oxygen is 3.44 and hydrogen is 2.2. That's why electron pair attracted more towards oxygen, thus oxygen becomes partial negative and hydrogen becomes partial positive.

the number of valance electrons of oxygen are six and hydrogen is one that's why two hydrogen atoms are attached with one oxygen atom and complete the octet.

Which part of an atom is actively exchanged or shared in a chemical bond?
denpristay [2]

The part of an atom that is actively exchanged or shared in a chemical bond is ELECTRON.

An atom is made up of three sub particles, which are electron, proton and neutron. The proton and the neutron are located in the nucleus of the atom and they make up the major mass of the atom. The electron is located outside of the nucleus and it orbit around the nucleus; it has negligible mass. The electron is negatively charged and because it is located outside of the nucleus, it is the one that is always involved in chemical reactions. There are different types of chemical bonds in chemical compounds and it is electrons that are normally used to form these bonds. During bond formation, electrons can either be donated or shared.
