When 4.5 mol al react with 11.5 mol hcl, what is the limiting reactant, and how many moles of h2 can be formed?

1 answer:

5 0

1°/ . 2 Al + 6 HCl → 2 AlCl3 + 3 H2

k1 = n(Al) / 2 = 4,5 / 2 = 2,25 
k2 = n(HCl) / 6 = 11,5 / 6= 1,92 

k2 < k1 ==> HCl is the limiting reactant 

6 mol of HCl ---> 2 mol of H2 
11,5 mol of HCl ---> 3,83 mol of H2

How many molecules of ethane are present in 64.28 liters of ethane gas (C2H6) at STP

Rom4ik [11]

Answer : The molecule of ethane present in 64.28 L of ethane gas at STP is, $17.277\times 10^{23}$ molecule.

Solution :

At STP,

22.4 L volume of ethane present in 1 mole of ethane gas

64.28 L volume of ethane present in $\frac{64.28L}{22.4L}\times 1mole=2.869moles$ of ethane gas

And, as we know that

1 mole of ethane molecule contains $6.022\times 10^{23}$ molecules of ethane

2.869 moles of ethane molecule contains $2.869\times 6.022\times 10^{23}=17.277\times 10^{23}$ molecules of ethane

Therefore, the molecule of ethane present in 64.28 L of ethane gas at STP is, $17.277\times 10^{23}$ molecule.

Why is it necessary to find the percent yield of a reaction? A. to determine the efficiency of the reaction B. to determine the

ANTONII [103]

Answer:

A. to determine the efficiency of the reaction

Explanation:

Percentage is the ratio of the actual yield to theoretical yield as a percentage. It is calculated by dividing the actual yield by theoretical yield then multiplying by 100%.
Calculation of percentage yield is important as it helps in the determination of efficiency of a reaction. For example in most industries for the purpose of making the most product with the least waste.
Additionally, calculating the percentage yield helps in determining other products that may be formed during the reactions.

Predict what must happen when a beaker containing a solution of lithium chloride is heated. check all that apply. view available

slava [35]

The correct answer is that the energy will be transferred into the system and as well as the solubility of lithium chloride will likely increase. It Is because LiCl is soluble when is dispersed in hot water that is why the solubility of lithium chloride will increase and that the heating solution will likely transfer the heat energy in the system in which the energy will be transferred in the system is correct.
