Answer:

The carbon cycle

Carbon moves from living things to the atmosphere. Each time you exhale, you are releasing carbon dioxide gas (CO2) into the atmosphere. Animals and plants get rid of carbon dioxide gas through a process called respiration. Carbon moves from fossil fuels to the atmosphere when fuels are burned.

If 16.00 g of O₂ reacts with 80.00 g NO, how many the excess reactant are left over? (enter only the value, round to whole numbe

pishuonlain [190]

Answer:

Explanation:

We will need a balanced equation with masses, moles, and molar masses of the compounds involved.

1. Gather all the information in one place with molar masses above the formulas and masses below them.

Mᵣ: 30.01 32.00 46.01

2NO + O₂ ⟶ 2NO₂

Mass/g: 80.00 16.00

2. Calculate the moles of each reactant

$\text{moles of NO} = \text{80.00 g NO} \times \dfrac{\text{1 mol NO}}{\text{30.01 g NO}} = \text{2.666 mol NO}\\\\\text{moles of O}_{2} = \text{16.00 g O}_{2} \times \dfrac{\text{1 mol O}_{2}}{\text{32.00 g O}_{2}} = \text{0.5000 mol O}_{2}$

3. Calculate the moles of NO₂ we can obtain from each reactant

From NO:

The molar ratio is 2 mol NO₂:2 mol NO

$\text{Moles of NO}_{2} = \text{2.333 mol NO} \times \dfrac{\text{2 mol NO}_{2}}{\text{2 mol NO}} = \text{2.333 mol NO}_{2}$

From O₂:

The molar ratio is 2 mol NO₂:1 mol O₂

$\text{Moles of NO}_{2} = \text{0.5000 mol O}_{2}\times \dfrac{\text{2 mol NO}_{2}}{\text{1 mol Cl}_{2}} = \text{1.000 mol NO}_{2}$

4. Identify the limiting and excess reactants

The limiting reactant is O₂ because it gives the smaller amount of NO₂.

The excess reactant is NO.

5. Mass of excess reactant

(a) Moles of NO reacted

The molar ratio is 2 mol NO:1 mol O₂

$\text{Moles reacted} = \text{0.500 mol O}_{2} \times \dfrac{\text{2 mol NO}}{\text{1 mol O}_{2}} = \text{1.000 mol NO}$

(b) Mass of NO reacted

$\text{Mass reacted} = \text{1.000 mol NO} \times \dfrac{\text{30.01 g NO}}{\text{1 mol NO}} = \text{30.01 g NO}$

(c) Mass of NO remaining

Mass remaining = original mass – mass reacted = (80.00 - 30.01) g = 50 g NO

What does it mean to standardize the naoh solution why can the molarity of the naoh solution not be determined accurately?

ruslelena [56]

A standard solution is a solution (in this case sodium hydroxide) whose concentration (molarity) is known very precisely. The molarity of the sodium hydroxide solution cannot be determined accurately because solid sodium hydroxide is highly hygroscopic (absorbs water from the air) and cannot be accurately weighed. Sodium hydroxide form sodium carbonate because it absorbs carbon dioxide from the air.
