Group 17 is the most readily reduced elements on the periodic table, meaning that they are so close to being a stable elements, only missing 1 electron to complete their valance electron shell. Thus they will essentially react with anything to get that last electron!

Group 1 elements are extremely reactive because they are the most readily oxidized, they are very close to reaching stability by giving up only 1 electron. Thus they will react with almost anything to give up their electron.

Which is the limiting reactant if we start with 30.0 g Al and 30.0 h O2

lorasvet [3.4K]

Explanation:

The limiting reactant will be Al:

4Al + 3O₂ → 2Al₂O₃

The limiting reactant is the reactant in short supply in a chemical reaction.

Given parameters:

Mass of Al = 30g Molar mass = 27g/mol

Number of moles = $\frac{mass}{molar mass}$ = $\frac{30}{27}$

Number of moles of Al = 1.111 mole

Mass of O₂ = 30g, molar mass = 32g/mol

Number of moles = $\frac{30}{32}$ = 0.94mol

In the reaction:

4 moles of Al reacted with 3 moles of O₂

1.11moles of Al will require $\frac{1.11 x3}{4}$ = 0.83mole to react

But we have been given 0.94mole of O₂. This is more than required.

Therefore O₂ is in excess and Al is the limiting reactant.

A compound is composed of 13% carbon, 4.3% hydrogen, 30.4% nitrogen, and 52.2% oxygen. The mystery compound has a molar mass of

vredina [299]

Answer:

C₂H₈N₄O₆ is the molecular formula for the compound

Explanation:

Data from the problem:

13 g of C in 100 g of compound

4.3 g of H in 100 g of compound

30.4 g of N in 100 g of compound

52.2 g of O in 100 g of compound

Firstly we determine, the mass of each in 184 g of compound, which is 1 mol

(13 g / 100 g) . 184 g = 24 g C

(4.3 g / 100 g) . 184 g = 7.91 g H ≅ 8 g H

(30.4 g / 100 g) . 184 g = 56 g N

(52.2 g / 100 g) . 184 g = 96 g O

And now, we divide the mass by the molar mass of each to determine the moles:

24 g C / 12 g/mol = 2 mol C

8g H / 1 g/mol = 8 mol H

56 g N / 14 g/mol = 4 mol N

96 g O / 16 g/mol = 6 mol O

So the molecular formula of the compound is C₂H₈N₄O₆
