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

Chemistry

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>

Whenever a continuous bell alarm sounds in the Chemistry building:
deff fn [24]

Answer:

C

Explanation:

This is essentially one of the several safety measures in the chemical laboratory. This particular approach is one used in the case of fire eventualities.

A is wrong

This is because in the advent of a fire incident, it is necessary to evacuate the building as a whole. Meeting in the hallway is still within the building which is not the right thing to do when there’s a fire outbreak. Occupants are expected to leave the building immediately

B. Is also wrong. Taking time to pack your belongings might make you be caught in the inferno. It is expected that you leave the building at once
