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

Chemistry

Dominik [7]3 years ago

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.

0.0200 moles of a compound is found to have a mass of 1.64 g. Find the formula mass of the compound
KatRina [158]

Answer: 82.0 g/mole

Explanation:

Use the units to see that if we divide 1.64 grams by 0.0200 moles, we'll get a number that is grams/mole, the definition of formula mass.

1.64/0.0200 = 82.0 g/mole (3 sig figs)

We can't tell from this alone what the molecular formula might be, but C6H10 (cyclohexene) comes close (82.1 grams/mole).

For each pair below, select the sample that contains the largest number of moles. Pair A 2.50 g O2 2.50 g N2
raketka [301]

Answer:

Explanation:

Pair  2.50g of O₂ and 2.50g of  N₂

The atoms sample with the largest number of moles since the masses are the same would be the one with lowest molar mass according the the equation below:

Number of moles = \frac{mass }{molarmass}

Atomic mass of O = 16g and N = 14g

Molar mass of O₂ = 16 x 2 = 32gmol⁻¹

Molar mass of N₂ = 14 x 2 = 28gmol⁻¹

Number of moles of O₂ = \frac{2.5}{32} = 0.078mole

Number of moles of N₂ = \frac{2.5}{28} =  0.089mole

We see that N₂ has the largest number of moles
