<u>Answer:</u>

<u>For A:</u> Aluminium is the limiting reagent.

<u>For B:</u> Oxygen gas is the limiting reagent.

<u>For C:</u> Aluminium is the limiting reagent.

<u>For D:</u> Aluminium is the limiting reagent.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Limiting reagent is defined as the reagent which is present in less amount and it limits the formation of products.

Excess reagent is defined as the reagent which is present in large amount.

For the given chemical reaction:

4Al(s)+3O_2(g)\rightarrow 2Al_2O_3(s)

  • <u>For A:</u>  1 mol Al, 1 mol O_2

By stoichiometry of the reaction:

4 moles of aluminium reacts with 3 moles of oxygen gas

So, 1 mole of aluminum will react with = \frac{3}{4}\times 1=0.75moles of oxygen gas.

As, the given amount of oxygen gas is more than the required amount. Thus, it is considered as an excess reagent.

Hence, aluminium is the limiting reagent.

  • <u>For B:</u>  4 mol Al, 2.6 mol O_2

By stoichiometry of the reaction:

3 moles of oxygen gas reacts with 4 moles of aluminium

So, 2.6 moles of oxygen gas will react with = \frac{4}{3}\times 2.6=3.458moles of aluminium.

As, the given amount of aluminium is more than the required amount. Thus, it is considered as an excess reagent.

Hence, oxygen gas is the limiting reagent.

  • <u>For C:</u>  16 mol Al, 13 mol O_2

By stoichiometry of the reaction:

4 moles of aluminium reacts with 3 moles of oxygen gas

So, 16 mole of aluminum will react with = \frac{3}{4}\times 16=12moles of oxygen gas.

As, the given amount of oxygen gas is more than the required amount. Thus, it is considered as an excess reagent.

Hence, aluminium is the limiting reagent.

  • <u>For D:</u> 7.4 mol Al, 6.5 mol O_2

By stoichiometry of the reaction:

4 moles of aluminium reacts with 3 moles of oxygen gas

So, 7.4 mole of aluminum will react with = \frac{3}{4}\times 7.4=5.55moles of oxygen gas.

As, the given amount of oxygen gas is more than the required amount. Thus, it is considered as an excess reagent.

Hence, aluminium is the limiting reagent.

A solid with a mass of Mgrams is melted by heating it. After a half-hour, the solid is
Lerok [7]

Answer:

equal to M

Explanation:

The mass of the fully melted mass and the initial solid will be the same. So, the mass of the melt is equal to M.

Mass is the amount of matter contained within a substance. Since only the phase changed and the amount of matter is still the same, the mass of the molten phase and the solid phase will remain the same.

We are correct to say that in the heating process no mass was destroyed or added in melting the solid.

A simple phase change that preserved the mass only occurred.

Which statement is correct regarding the rate of the reaction below? 3A + B 4X + 2Y The rate of disappearance of B is three time
V125BC [204]
First, let's write the givens in the form of a chemical equation:
3A + B ...................> 4X + 2Y

Now we find that this equation implies the following:
For every 4X and 2Y formation, 3A and 1B must disappear (react).

Comparing this implication to the above choices,  we find that the right answer is: <span>The rate of formation of X is four times the rate of disappearance of B.</span>

The density of water at 30.0 °C is 0.9956 g/mL. If the specific gravity of acetic acid is 1.040 at 30.0 °C, what is the density
mash [69]

Answer:

The density of acetic acid at 30°C = 1.0354_g/mL

Explanation:

specific gravity of acetic acid = (Density of acetic acid at 30°C) ÷ (Density of water at 30°C)

Therefore, the density of acetic acid at 30°C = (Density of water at 30°C) × (Specific gravity of acetic acid at 30°C)

= 0.9956 g/mL × 1.040

= 1.0354_g/mL

Specific gravity, which is also known as relative density, is the ratio of the density of a substance to the density of a specified standard substance.

Generally the standard substance of to which other solid and liquid substances are compared is water which has a density of 1.0 kg per litre or 62.4 pounds/cubic foot at 4 °C (39.2 °F) while gases are normally compared with dry air, with a density of 1.29 grams/litre or 1.29 ounces/cubic foot under standard conditions of a temperature of 0 °C and one standard atmospheric pressure

How many grams of CO2 are in 3.6 mol of CO2?
hammer [34]

There are 158.4 grams of CO2 in 3.6 mol of CO2.

<h3>HOW TO CALCULATE MASS?</h3>

The mass of a substance can be calculated by multiplying the number of moles of the substance by its molar mass. That is;

mass of CO2 = no. of moles × molar mass

According to this question, there are 3.6 moles of CO2.

mass of CO2 = 3.6 moles × 44g/mol

mass of CO2 = 158.4g.

Therefore, there are 158.4 grams of CO2 in 3.6 mol of CO2
