Answer:

0.977 moles of Copper are obtained. The limiting reagent is Copper (II) Sulfate.

Explanation:

First you need to write out a balanced chemical equation. Then you convert from 29.0 grams of Aluminum to moles of Aluminum. Take moles of Aluminum and convert to moles of Copper to get 1.61 moles. Then you take 156 grams of Copper (II) Sulfate and convert it to moles of Copper (II) Sulfate. After you have the moles of Copper (II) Sulfate you then need to convert it to moles of Copper to get 0.977 moles of Copper. 0.977 is the smaller number so it will be your answer and Copper (II) Sulfate will be your limiting reagent. Remember to also use significant figures when required.

Answer:

The answer to your question is the limiting reactant is CuSO₄ and 0.975 moles of Cu were obtained

Explanation:

moles of Copper = ?

mass of Aluminum = 29 g

mass of CuSO₄ = 156 g

Limiting reactant = ?

Balanced Chemical reaction

                  3 CuSO₄   +  2 Al   ⇒   3 Cu   +  Al₂(SO₄)₃

Calculate the moles of reactants

CuSO₄ = 64 + 32 + (16 x 4) = 160g

Al = 27 g

                160 g of CuSO₄  ----------------- 1 mol

                156 g                   -----------------  x

                      x = (156 x 1) / 160

                      x = 0.975 moles

               27 g of Al -------------------------- 1 mol

               29 g of Al -------------------------- x

                x = (29 x 1)/27

                x = 1.07 moles

Calculate proportions to find the limiting reactant

Theoretical     3 moles CuSO₄/2 moles Al = 1.5 moles

Experimental  0.975 moles CuSO₄/1.07 moles = 0.91

The experimental proportion was lower than the theoretical proportion that means that the limiting reactant is CuSO₄.      

                    3 moles of CuSO₄ ------------------ 3 moles of Cu

                 0.975 moles of CuSO₄ ---------------  x

                         x = (0.975 x 3)/3

                        x = 0.975 moles of Cu were obtained.

How many moles are 21.67 L of NH4CI?<br> Type your answer...
NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer:

0.967mole

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Volume of NH₄Cl  = 21.67L

Unknown:

Number of moles  = ?

Solution:

We assume that the volume was taken at standard temperature and pressure,

 Then;

  Number of moles  = \frac{volume }{22.4L}  

 Number of moles  = \frac{21.67}{22.4}   = 0.967mole

Calculate the number of O atoms in 0.150 g of CaSO4 · 2H2O.
natulia [17]

Answer:

There are 0.00523 moles of oxygen in 0.150 grams of calcium sulfate crystal.

Explanation:

Mass of calcium sulfate crystal = m = 0.150 g

Molar mass of calcium sulfate crystal = M = 172 g/mol

Moles of magnesium nitrate = n

n=\frac{m}{M}

n=\frac{0.150 g}{172 g/mol}=0.0008721 mol

1 mole of calcium sulfate crystal has 6 moles of oxygen atoms. Then 0.004446 moles calcium sulfate crystal will have :

6\times 0.0008721 mol=0.0052326mol\approx 0.00523 mol

There are 0.00523 moles of oxygen in 0.150 grams of calcium sulfate crystal.

Using the reaction C12H22O11 + 12 O2 -&gt;12CO2 + 11H2O (e). How many grams of carbon dioxide can be produced from 456.7g sucros
klio [65]

Answer:

704.6 g CO2

Explanation:

MM sucrose = 342.3 g/mol

MM CO2 = 44.01 g/mol

g CO2 = 456.7 g sucrose x (1 mol sucrose/MM sucrose) x (12 moles CO2/1 mol sucrose) x (MM CO2/1mol CO2) = 704.6 g CO2
