If 3 moles of H2 react with two moles of o2 what is limiting reactant

Chemistry
1 answer:
Dominik [7]3 years ago
8 0

H₂ is the limiting reactant.

<u>Explanation:</u>

H₂  reacts with O₂

The reaction would be

2H₂ + O₂ → 2H₂O

According to the balanced equation, 2 moles of H₂ reacts with 1 mole of O₂ to form 2 moles of H₂O.

The ratio of usage of H₂ and O₂ is 2 : 1 respectively

If 3 moles of H₂ and 2 moles of O₂ are present then:

3 moles of H₂ would require 1.5 moles of O₂                 ( 2 : 1 of H₂ and O₂ )

Out of 2 moles of O₂, 1.5 moles would be used and 0.5 mole would be in excess.

Therefore, H₂ is the limiting reactant as the number of moles of H₂ are not enough to use all the O₂.

Which of the following would increase the amount to dissolve a solid solute?
AVprozaik [17]

By stirring and increasing temperature, there is an increase in dissolving capacity of the solid solute.

<u>Explanation:</u>

If a solute is added to the solution, it doesn't get dissolve easily then we have to increase the temperature, which in turn increases the movement of the solvent (may be water) and the solute particles, thus increases the dissolving power of the solid solute. One more way is by constant stirring, that is by making more contact among the solvent as well as the solute particles there by increasing the solubility of solid solute.

Consider the following reaction.
Ivan

Answer:

162 g Fe₂O₃

Explanation:

To find the mass of Fe₂O₃, you need to (1) convert grams C to moles C (via molar mass from periodic table), then (2) convert moles C to moles Fe₂O₃ (via mole-to-mole ratio from reaction coefficients), and then (3) convert moles Fe₂O₃ to grams (via molar mass). It is important to arrange the ratios/conversions in a way that allows for the cancellation of units. The final answer should have 3 sig figs to reflect the given value.

Molar Mass (C): 12.011 g/mol

2 Fe₂O₃(s) + 3 C(s) ---> 4 Fe(s) + 3 CO₂(g)

Molar Mass (Fe₂O₃): 2(55.845 g/mol) + 3(15.998 g/mol)

Molar Mass (Fe₂O₃): 159.684 g/mol

18.3 g C           1 mole            2 moles Fe₂O₃          159.684 g
--------------  x  ----------------  x  -------------------------  x  -----------------  = 162 g Fe₂O₃
                        12.011 g              3 moles C                 1 mole

How many isomeric esters including structural isomers and stereoisomers can be made with the molecular formula C5H10O2 if methan
defon
Methanoic acid has a molecular formula of HCOOH, when form an ester it's HCOO-, so the rest of the ester is -C4H9, a saturated 4 carbon chain.  As shown in the attached diagram, there are 4 structural isomers, and the third isomer has 2 stereoisomers. So the answers is D:5.
