Answer : The excess reactant is, H_2O

The leftover amount of excess reagent is, 7.2 grams.

Solution : Given,

Mass of CaCN_2 = 105.0 g

Mass of H_2O = 78.0 g

Molar mass of CaCN_2 = 80.11 g/mole

Molar mass of H_2O = 18 g/mole

Molar mass of CaCO_3 = 100.09 g/mole

First we have to calculate the moles of CaCN_2 and H_2O.

\text{ Moles of }CaCN_2=\frac{\text{ Mass of }CaCN_2}{\text{ Molar mass of }CaCN_2}=\frac{105.0g}{80.11g/mole}=1.31moles

\text{ Moles of }H_2O=\frac{\text{ Mass of }H_2O}{\text{ Molar mass of }H_2O}=\frac{78.0g}{18g/mole}=4.33moles

Now we have to calculate the limiting and excess reagent.

The balanced chemical reaction is,

CaCN_2+3H_2O\rightarrow CaCO_3+2NH_3

From the balanced reaction we conclude that

As, 1 mole of CaCN_2 react with 3 mole of H_2O

So, 1.31 moles of CaCN_2 react with 1.31\times 3=3.93 moles of H_2O

From this we conclude that, H_2O is an excess reagent because the given moles are greater than the required moles and CaCN_2 is a limiting reagent and it limits the formation of product.

Left moles of excess reactant = 4.33 - 3.93 = 0.4 moles

Now we have to calculate the mass of excess reactant.

\text{ Mass of excess reactant}=\text{ Moles of excess reactant}\times \text{ Molar mass of excess reactant}(H_2O)

\text{ Mass of excess reactant}=(0.4moles)\times (18g/mole)=7.2g

Thus, the leftover amount of excess reagent is, 7.2 grams.

what temperature change will be observed if a sample of 100 g of ethylene glycol antifreeze solution (specific heat capacity = 3
ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

1°C temperature change will be observed if a sample of 100 g of ethylene glycol antifreeze solution.

Explanation:

Mass of ethylene glycol = m = 100 g

Specific heat capacity of ethylene glycol = c = 3.5 J/g°C

Change in temperature of ethylene glycol = ΔT

Heat loss by the ethylene glycol = Q = 350 J

Q=mc\Delta T

\Delta T=\frac{Q}{mc}=\frac{350 J}{100 g\times 3.5 J/g^oC}

ΔT = 1°C

1°C temperature change will be observed if a sample of 100 g of ethylene glycol antifreeze solution.

For the equilibrium PCl5(g) PCl3(g) + Cl2(g), Kc = 2.0 × 101 at 240°C. If pure PCl5 is placed in a 1.00-L container and allowed
Cloud [144]

Answer:

the equilibrium concentration of [PCl₅] is 3.64*10⁻³ M

Explanation:

for the reaction

PCl₅(g) → PCl₃(g) + Cl₂(g)

where

Kc= [PCl₃]*[Cl₂]/[PCl₅] = 2.0*10¹ M = 20 M

and [A] denote concentrations of A

if initially the mixture is pure PCl₅ , then it will dissociate according to the reaction and since always one mole of PCl₃(g) is generated with one mole of Cl₂(g) , the total number of moles of both at the end is the same → they have the same concentration → [PCl₃(g)] = [Cl₂]=0.27 M

therefore

Kc= [PCl₃]*[Cl₂]/[PCl₅] = 0.27 M* 0.27 M /[PCl₅] = 20 M

[PCl₅]  =  0.27 M* 0.27 M / 20 M = 3.64*10⁻³ M

[PCl₅]  = 3.64*10⁻³ M

the equilibrium concentration of [PCl₅] is 3.64*10⁻³ M
