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

Chemistry
1 answer:
Art [367]3 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>

How many moles in 2 h2o molecules
alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

2 molecules of water represents 3.32 x 10^-24 moles of water.

Explanation:

To find the solution to this problem, you have to use the concept of Avogadro´s number, that is in 1 mol of any element o compound there are                    6.022 x 10^23 molecules. Then,

1 mol H2O ------------- 6.022 x 10^23 molecules

x= 3.32 x 10^-24 ---- 2 molecules.

2 molecules of water represents 3.32 x 10^-24 moles of water.

Calculate [H3O+] and [OH−] for each of the following solutions at 25 ∘C given the pH. pH= 8.74, pH= 11.38, pH= 2.81
Gnom [1K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given parameters;

pH  = 8.74

pH = 11.38

pH = 2.81

Unknown:

concentration of hydrogen ion and hydroxyl ion for each solution = ?

Solution

The pH of any solution is a convenient scale for measuring the hydrogen ion concentration of any solution.

It is graduated from 1 to 14

      pH = -log[H₃O⁺]

      pOH = -log[OH⁻]

 pH + pOH = 14

Now let us solve;

   pH = 8.74

             since  pH = -log[H₃O⁺]

                           8.74 =  -log[H₃O⁺]

                           [H₃O⁺] = 10⁻^{8.74}

                             [H₃O⁺]  = 1.82 x 10⁻⁹mol dm³

       pH + pOH = 14

                 pOH = 14 - 8.74

                  pOH = 5.26

                  pOH = -log[OH⁻]

                     5.26  = -log[OH⁻]

                     [OH⁻] = 10^{-5.26}

                      [OH⁻] = 5.5 x 10⁻⁶mol dm³

2.  pH = 11.38

             since  pH = -log[H₃O⁺]

                           11.38 =  -log[H₃O⁺]

                           [H₃O⁺] = 10⁻^{11.38}

                             [H₃O⁺]  = 4.17 x 10⁻¹² mol dm³

           pH + pOH = 14

                 pOH = 14 - 11.38

                  pOH = 2.62

                  pOH = -log[OH⁻]

                     2.62  = -log[OH⁻]

                     [OH⁻] = 10^{-2.62}

                      [OH⁻] =2.4 x 10⁻³mol dm³

3. pH = 2.81

             since  pH = -log[H₃O⁺]

                           2.81 =  -log[H₃O⁺]

                           [H₃O⁺] = 10⁻^{2.81}

                             [H₃O⁺]  = 1.55 x 10⁻³ mol dm³

           pH + pOH = 14

                 pOH = 14 - 2.81

                  pOH = 11.19

                  pOH = -log[OH⁻]

                     11.19  = -log[OH⁻]

                     [OH⁻] = 10^{-11.19}

                      [OH⁻] =6.46 x 10⁻¹²mol dm³

Scrat [10]

Which two solutions, when mixed together, will undergo a double replacement reaction and form a white, solid substance?


1. NaCl(aq) and LiNO3(aq)

2. KCl(aq) and AgNO3(aq)  answer

3. KCl(aq) and LiCL(aq)

4. NaNO3(aq) and AgNO3(aq)


2 is the answer because AgCl is formed and that is a white ppt.
