Answer:
Explanation:
- For the balanced reaction:
<em>4Fe(s) + 3O₂(g) → 2Fe₂O₃(s).</em>
It is clear that 4 mol of Fe react with 3 mol of O₂ to produce 2 mol of Fe₂O₃.
- Firstly, we need to calculate the no. of moles of 35.8 grams of Fe metal:
no. of moles of Fe = mass/molar mass = (35.8 g)/(55.845 g/mol) = 0.64 mol.
- Now, we can find the no. of moles of O₂ is needed to react with the proposed amount of Fe:
<em><u>Using cross multiplication:</u></em>
4 mol of Fe is needed to react with → 3 mol of O₂, from stichiometry.
0.64 mol of Fe is needed to react with → ??? mol of O₂.
∴ The no. of moles of O₂ needed = (3 mol)(0.64 mol)/(4 mol) = 0.48 mol.
- Finally, we can get the volume of oxygen using the information:
<em>It is known that 1 mole of any gas occupies 22.4 L at standard P and T (STP).</em>
<em></em>
<em><u>Using cross multiplication:</u></em>
1 mol of O₂ occupies → 22.4 L, at STP conditions.
0.48 mol of O₂ occupies → ??? L.
∴ The no. of liters of O₂ = (0.48 mol)(22.4 L)/(1 mol) = 10.752 L.
Answer:
1. 7.256g of NaCl
2. 47.33g of Cl2
Explanation:
2 moles of Na reacts to produce 2 moles of NaCl
8 moles of Na will still produce 8 moles of NaCl
Mass of NaCl = molar mass of Nacl/moles of Nacl
=58.5/8
=7.256g of NaCl
From the equation, 2 moles of Na reacts with 1 mole of Cl2
3/2 moles of Cl2 will react with 3 moles of Na
Mass of Cl2 = 71/1.5
=47.33g of Cl2

Answer:
A voltaic cell that uses the oxidation of a fuel to produce electricity
Explanation:
A fuel cell is a voltaic cell that converts the chemical energy of a fuel and an oxidizing agent into electricity.
A. is wrong. This definition is so broad that it could include a candle in a cup.
C is wrong. The batteries in flashlights and cell phones are not fuel cells.
We convert the masses of our reactants to moles and use the stoichiometric coefficients to determine which one of our reactants will be limiting.
Dividing the mass of each reactant by its molar mass:
(10 g C2H6)(30.069 g/mol) = 0.3326 mol C2H6
(10 g O2)(31.999 g/mol) = 0.3125 mol O2.
Every 2 moles of C2H6 react with 7 moles of O2. So the number of moles of O2 needed to react completely with 0.3326 mol C2H6 would be (0.3326)(7/2) = 1.164 mol O2. That is far more than the number of moles of O2 that we are given: 0.3125 moles. Thus, O2 is our limiting reactant.
Since O2 is the limiting reactant, its quantity will determine how much of each product is formed. We are asked to find the number of grams (the mass) of H2O produced. The molar ratio between H2O and O2 per the balanced equation is 6:7. That is, for every 6 moles of H2O that is produced, 7 moles of O2 is used up (intuitively, then, the number of moles of H2O produced should be less than the number of moles of O2 consumed).
So, the number of moles of H2O produced would be (0.3125 mol O2)(6 mol H2O/7 mol O2) = 0.2679 mol H2O. We multiply by the molar mass of H2O to convert moles to mass: (0.2679 mol H2O)(18.0153 g/mol) = 4.826 g H2O.
Given 10 grams of C2H6 and 10 grams of O2, 4.826 g of H2O are produced.
