What is the limiting reactant when 20g CH4 react with 15g H20?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Art [367]2 years ago
4 0

Answer:

H₂O.

Explanation:

  • It is clear from the balanced equation:

<em>CH₄ + 2H₂O → CO₂ + 4H₂.</em>

that 1.0  mole of CH₄ reacts with 2.0 moles of H₂O to produce 1.0 mole of CO₂ and 4.0 moles of H₂.

  • To determine the limiting reactant, we should calculate the no. of moles of (20 g) CH₄ and (15 g) H₂O using the relation:

<em>n = mass/molar mass</em>

<em></em>

no. of moles of CH₄ = mass/molar mass = (20 g)/(16 g/mol) = 1.25 mol.

no. of moles of H₂O = mass/molar mass = (15 g)/(18 g/mol) = 0.833 mol.

  • <em>from the balanced reaction, 1.0  mole of CH₄ reacts with 2.0 moles of H₂O.</em>

So, from the calculated no. of moles: 0.4167 mole of CH₄ reacts completely with 0.833 mole of H₂O and the remaining of CH₄ will be in excess.

<u><em>So, the limiting reactant is H₂O.</em></u>

Catalyst
Hoochie [10]

a. volume of NO : 41.785 L

b. mass of H2O : 18 g

c. volume of O2 : 9.52 L

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

Reaction

4 NH₃ (g) + 5 O2 (g) → 4 NO (g) + 6 H2O (l)

Required

a. volume of NO

b. mass of H2O

c. volume of O2

Solution

Assume reactants at STP(0 C, 1 atm)

Products at 1000 C (1273 K)and 1 atm

a. mol ratio NO : O2 from equation : 4 : 5, so mo NO :

\tt \dfrac{4}{5}\times 0.5=0.4

volume NO at 1273 K and 1 atm

\tt V=\dfrac{nRT}{P}=\dfrac{0.4\times 0.08206\times 1273}{1}=41.785~L

b. 15 L NH3 at STP ( 1mol = 22.4 L)

\tt \dfrac{15}{22.4}=0.67~mol

mol ratio NH3 : H2O from equation : 4 : 6, so mol H2O :

\tt \dfrac{6}{4}\times 0.67=1

mass H2O(MW = 18 g/mol) :

\tt mass=mol\times MW=1\times 18=18~g

c. mol NO at 1273 K and 1 atm :

\tt n=\dfrac{PV}{RT}=\dfrac{1\times 35.5}{0.08206\times 1273}=0.34

mol ratio of NO : O2 = 4 : 5, so mol O2 :

\tt \dfrac{5}{4}\times 0.34=0.425

Volume O2 at STP :

\tt 0.425\times 22.4=9.52~L

How are carbon dioxide (CO2) levels in the atmosphere affected by tectonic uplift of rocks and their resultant chemical weatheri
valina [46]

Answer:

The levels of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere are reduced

Explanation:

Tectonic uplift refers to the process by which the surface of the earth slowly rises either due to increasing upward force applied from the plates below the surface or decreasing downward force or weight of objects like melting glaciers acting from above. During uplift, land, as well as the sea floor rises forming mountains, plateaus and volcanic Islands.

During the process of weathering, carbon dioxide present in air combines with rainwater and forms carbonic acid. This acidic rainwater then falls on uplifted mountains and rocks weathering them in the process. Minerals present in the rock such as calcium, magnesium and sodium then combine with bicarbonate ions to form carbonates such as calcium carbonate, magnesium carbonate which are found in shells of living and dead organisms and also form rocks such as limestone. In this way, carbon dioxide is removed from the atmosphere.

If you had a 0.5 M KCl solution, how much solute would you have in moles, and what would the solute be?
Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

37.25 grams/L.

Explanation:

  • Molarity (M) is defined as the no. of moles of solute dissolved per 1.0 L of the solution.

<em>M = (no. of moles of KCl)/(volume of the solution (L))</em>

<em></em>

∵ no. of moles of KCl = (mass of KCl)/(molar mass of KCl)

∴ M = [(mass of KCl)/(molar mass of KCl)]/(volume of the solution (L))

∴ (mass of KCl)/(volume of the solution (L)) = (M)*(molar mass of KCl) = (0.5 M)*(74.5 g/mol) = 37.25 g/L.

<em>So, the grams/L of KCl = 37.25 grams/L.</em>

In water, hydrogen bonds are best described as _____.
Elina [12.6K]

Answer: Option D) covalent bonds between water molecules

In water, hydrogen bonds are best described as covalent bonds between water molecules

Explanation:

The hydrogen bonds between water molecules are covalent bonds because they are formed when oxygen attract the lone electron in hydrogen, thus resulting in the formation of a partially negative charge on the oxygen atom and a partially positive charge on two hydrogen atoms

Thus, the sharing of electrons between oxygen and hydrogen atoms is responsible for the covalent bonds between water molecules
