The mass of methanol produced is 8.0 g.

We have the masses of two reactants, so this is a <em>limiting reactant</em> problem.

We know that we will need a <em>balanced equation</em> with masses, moles, and molar masses of the compounds involved.

<em>Step 1</em>. <em>Gather all the informatio</em>n in one place with molar masses above the formulas and everything else below them.

MM: ___28.01  2.016 ___32.04

_______CO + 2H_2 → CH_3OH

Mass/g: 7.0 __2.5

<em>Step 2</em>. Calculate the <em>moles of each reactant</em>

Moles of CO = 7.0 g CO × (1 mol CO/28.01g CO) = 0.250 mol CO

Moles of H_2 =2.5 g H_2 × (1 mol H_2/2.016 g H_2) = 1.24 mol H_2

<em>Step 3. </em>Identify the<em> limiting reactan</em>t

Calculate the <em>moles of CH_3OH</em> we can obtain from each reactant.

<em>From CO</em>: Moles of CH_3OH = 0.250 mol CO  × (1 mol CH_3OH /1 mol CO)

= 0.250 mol CH_3OH

<em>From H_2</em>: Moles of CH_3OH = 1.24 mol H_2 × (1 mol CH_3OH /2 mol H_2)

= 0.620 mol CH_3OH

<em>CO is the limiting reactant</em> because it gives the smaller amount of CH_3OH.

<em>Step 4</em>. Calculate the <em>mass of CH_3OH</em>

Mass of CH_3OH = 0.250 mol CH_3OH × (32.04 g CH_3OH /1 mol CH_3OH) = 8.0 g CH_3OH

Given that a 12.00 g milk chocolate bar contains 8.000 g of sugar, calculate the percentage of sugar present in 12.00 g of milk
neonofarm [45]
So in order for us to know the percentage of sugar present in a 12.00 g of milk chocolate, what we are going to do is that, we just have to divide 8 by 12 and multiply in by 100 and we get 66.67. Therefore, the percentage of sugar present in 12.00 g of milk chocolate bar is 66.67%. Hope this answers your question. Have a great day!

Water circulates through Earth's water cycle by changing its _____.
iragen [17]
Water moved through the water cycle by changing its state. Think, for example, of water evaporating (liquid to gas), snow sublimating (solid to gas) or melting (solid to liquid), rain (gas to liquid), sleet (liquid to solid), or snow (gas to solid).

The answer would thus be A.

padilas [110]

Answer:

The answer to your question is: C. The specific latent heat of fusion

Explanation:

A. The specific latent heat of vaporization  Specific latent heat of vaporization indicates the transition from liquid to vapor, but we are not looking for this definition. This answer is wrong.

B. The specific heat indicates the amount of heat needed to increase the temperature of water 1°C, so this answer is wrong.

C. The specific latent heat of fusion . This heat indicate the transition from solid ie to liquid, so this is the right answer.

D. The internal energy measures the energy of the molecules of a substance, so this answer is wrong.

6.201cm+7.4cm+0.68 cm+12.0cm
zimovet [89]
If you want the answer is centimeters is it going to be:
26.281 cm
If it make it easier for you to solve add 6.201 and 7.4 which will equal 13.601. Then add .68 to 13.601 which equals 14.281. Last add 12 to 14.281 which equals 26.281.

Hope this helps.
