How to do limiting reagents for chemistry?

1 answer:

4 0

Balance the chemical equation for the chemical reaction.
Convert the given information into moles.
Use stoichiometry for each individual reactant to find the mass of product produced.
The reactant that produces a lesser amount of product is the limiting reagent.
The reactant that produces a larger amount of product is the excess reagent.
To find the amount of remaining excess reactant, subtract the mass of excess reagent consumed from the total mass of excess reagent given.

a 1.25g sample of ore containing iron pyrite (FeS2) was pulverized and ignited in air, converting the FeS2 to Fe2O3 and SO2(g).

svp [43]

Answer:

28.9%

Explanation:

Let's consider the following balanced equation.

2 FeS₂ + 11/2 O₂ ⇒ Fe₂O₃ + 4 SO₂

We can establish the following relations:

The molar mass of Fe₂O₃ is 159.6 g/mol
1 mole of Fe₂O₃ is produced per 2 moles of FeS₂
1 mole of Fe is in 1 mole of FeS₂
The molar mass of Fe is 55.84 g/mol

The amount of Fe in the sample that produced 0.516 g of Fe₂O₃ is:

$0.516gFe_{2}O_{3}.\frac{1molFe_{2}O_{3}}{159.6gFe_{2}O_{3}} .\frac{2molFeS_{2}}{1molFe_{2}O_{3}} .\frac{1molFe}{1molFeS_{2}} .\frac{55.84gFe}{1molFe} =0.361gFe$

The percent of Fe in 1.25 g of the ore is:

$\frac{0.361g}{1.25g} .100\%=28.9\%$

At which condition will the entropy of a pure solid be zero?

miss Akunina [59]

The condition at which the entropy of a pure solid will be zero is when a substance is at absolute zero. Absolute zero is the lowest temperature that is theoretically possible, at which the motion of particles which constitutes heat would be minimal. It is zero on the Kelvin scale, equivalent to −273.15°C.

Answer:

Aldehydes
A hydrogen atom
Oxygen

Explanation:

Many tests to distinguish aldehydes and ketones involve the addition of an oxidant. Only aldehydes can be easily oxidized because there is a hydrogen atom next to the carbonyl and oxidation does not require oxygen
