The balanced chemical reaction is expressed as:
<span>8SO2 + 16H2S = 3S8 + 16H2O
We are given the initial amount of the reactants. From there, we determine the limiting reactant. We do as follows:
87.0 g SO2 ( 1 mol / 64.07 g ) = 1.36 mol SO2 ( 16 mol H2S / 8 mol SO2 ) = 2.72 mol H2S
87.0 g H2S ( 1 mol / 34.08 g ) = 2.55 mol H2S ( 8 mol SO2 / 16 mol H2S ) = 1.28 mol SO2
Therefore, the limiting reactant would be H2S. We calculate the maximum amount of S8 that can be produced from the amount of H2S.
2.55 mol H2S ( 3 mol S8 / 16 mol H2S ) ( 256.48 g / 1 mol ) = 122.63 g S8</span>
My Plate was released to replace the food pyramid and displays the five main food groups. The plate visually shows approximate proportions of the different food groups as opposed tot the food pyramid.
Answer:
Explanation:
<u>1) Mass of carbon (C) in 2.190 g of carbon dioxide (CO₂)</u>
- atomic mass of C: 12.0107 g/mol
- molar mass of CO₂: 44.01 g/mol
- Set a proportion: 12.0107 g of C / 44.01 g of CO₂ = x / 2.190 g of CO₂
x = (12.0107 g of C / 44.01 g of CO₂ ) × 2.190 g of CO₂ = 0.59767 g of C

<u>2) Mass of hydrogen (H) in 0.930 g of water (H₂O)</u>
- atomic mass of H: 1.00784 g/mol
- molar mass of H₂O: 18.01528 g/mol
- proportion: 2 × 1.00784 g of H / 18.01528 g of H₂O = x / 0.930 g of H₂O
x = ( 2 × 1.00784 g of H / 18.01528 g of H₂O) × 0.930 g of H₂O = 0.10406 g of H
<u>3) Mass of oxygen (O) in 1.0857 g of pure sample</u>
- Mass of O = mass of pure sample - mass of C - mass of H
- Mass of O = 1.0857 g - 0.59767 g - 0.10406 = 0.38397 g O
Round to four decimals: Mass of O = 0.3840 g
<u>4) Mole calculations</u>
Divide the mass in grams of each element by its atomic mass:
- C: 0.59767 g / 12.0107 g/mol = 0.04976 mol
- H: 0.10406 g / 1.00784 g/mol = 0.10325 mol
- O: 0.3840 g / 15.999 g/mol = 0.02400 mol
<u>5) Divide every amount by the smallest value (to find the mole ratios)</u>
- C: 0.04976 mol / 0.02400 mol = 2.07 ≈ 2
- H: 0.10325 mol / 0.02400 mol = 4.3 ≈ 4
- O: 0.02400 mol / 0.02400 mol = 1
Thus the mole ratio is 2 : 4 : 1, and the empirical formula is:
The electrons always orbit around the nucleus, forming what is called an electron cloud. :)
