Answer:

0.677 moles

Explanation:

Take the atomic mass of K = 39.1, O =16.0, P = 31.0

no. of moles = mass / molar mass

no. of moles of K3PO4 used = 4.79 / (39.1x3 + 31 + 16x4)

= 0.02256 mol

From the equation, the mole ratio of KOH : K3PO4 = 3 :1,

meaning every 3 moles of KOH used, produces 1 mole of K3PO4.

So, using this ratio, let the no. of moles of KOH required to be y.

\frac{3}{1} =\frac{y}{0.02256} \\

y = 0.02256 x3

y = 0.0677 mol

If you don't find exactly 0.677 moles as one of the options, go for the closest one. A very slight error may occur because of taking different significant figures of atomic masses when calculating.

PLEASE HELP ME 20 POINTS!!!!!

Answer:

Theoretical yield of the reaction is 121·38 g

The excess reactant is hydrogen

The limiting reactant is nitrogen

Explanation:

By assuming that the reaction between nitrogen and hydrogen taking place in presence of catalyst because at normal conditions the reaction between them will not occur

Number of moles of nitrogen taken are 100÷28 ≈ 3.57

Number of moles of hydrogen taken are 100÷2 = 50

Actually the reaction between nitrogen and hydrogen takes place according to the following equation

<h3>Nx_{2} + 3Hx_{2}  → 2NHx_{3}</h3>

So from the equation for 1  mole of nitrogen and 3 moles of hydrogen we get 2 moles of ammonia

Here in the problem we have approximately 3·57 moles of nitrogen so we require 3×3·57 moles of hydrogen

∴ Number of moles of hydrogen required is 10·71

But we have 50 moles of hydrogen

∴ Excess reagent is hydrogen and limiting reagent is nitrogen

Number of moles of ammonia produced  is 2×3·57 = 7·14

Weight of ammonia is 17 g

∴ Amount of ammonia produced is 17×7·14 = 121·38 g

∴ Theoretical yield of the reaction is 121·38 g

In a coffee-cup calorimeter, 100.0 g of H2O and 100.0 mL of 1M HCl are mixed. The HCl had an initial temperature of 44.6 C and t
Hatshy [7]

Answer:

Exothermic reaction for the HCl, endothermic reaction for the water

2803.28\ \text{J}

Explanation:

Heat was lost by HCl as its temperature lowered, so it was an exothermic reaction for the HCL.

Heat was gained by water as its temperature increased, so it was an endothermic reaction for the water.

m = Mass of water = 100 g

c = Specific heat of water = 4184\ \text{J/kg}^{\circ}\text{C}

\Delta T = Change in temperature of water = (31.3-24.6)^{\circ}\text{C}

Heat is given by

Q=mc\Delta T\\ =0.1\times 4184\times (31.3-24.6)\\ =2803.28\ \text{J}

Heat gained by water is 2803.28\ \text{J}.
