<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.

Calculate the mass of water having same number of hydrogen atoms as are present in the 32gram of methane. Please help me soon...
Ira Lisetskai [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

1 mole of methane = C + H4 = 12 + 4 = 16

32 grams of methane is 32/16 = 2 moles.

1 moles of methane contains 4 moles of hydrogen (CH4). Note the 4 in CH4

2 moles of methane = 8 moles of hydrogen.

H2O has 2 moles of hydrogen

Each mole of water contains 2 moles of hydrogen.

8 moles of hydrogen / 2 moles = 4 moles of water.
