Outline the steps needed to determine the limiting reactant when 30.0 g of propane, C3H8, is burned with 75.0 g of oxygen.

kumpel [21]

Answer : The limiting reactant is $O_2$

Explanation : Given,

Mass of $C_3H_8$ = 30.0 g

Mass of $O_2$ = 75.0 g

Molar mass of $C_3H_8$ = 44 g/mole

Molar mass of $O_2$ = 32 g/mole

First we have to calculate the moles of $C_3H_8$ and $O_2$ .

$\text{ Moles of }C_3H_8=\frac{\text{ Mass of }C_3H_8}{\text{ Molar mass of }C_3H_8}=\frac{30.0g}{44g/mole}=0.682moles$

$\text{ Moles of }O_2=\frac{\text{ Mass of }O_2}{\text{ Molar mass of }O_2}=\frac{75.0g}{32g/mole}=2.34moles$

Now we have to calculate the limiting and excess reagent.

The balanced chemical reaction is,

$C_3H_8+5O_2\rightarrow 3CO_2+4H_2O$

From the balanced reaction we conclude that

As, 5 mole of $O_2$ react with 1 mole of $C_3H_8$

So, 2.34 moles of $O_2$ react with $\frac{2.34}{5}\times 1=0.468$ moles of $C_3H_8$

From this we conclude that, $C_3H_8$ is an excess reagent because the given moles are greater than the required moles and $O_2$ is a limiting reagent and it limits the formation of product.

Therefore, the limiting reactant is $O_2$

11. As early as 1938. the use of NaOH was suggested as a means of removing CO2 from the cabin of a spacecraft according to the f

vagabundo [1.1K]

For a (unbalanced) reaction: NaOH +CO2-Na2CO3 + H2O, the moles of NaOH and moles of each product are formed are mathematically given as

a) Moles of NaOH =44.05

b) Moles of Na2CO3=21.0

Moles of H2O= 21.0

<h3>What is the moles of NaOH and what moles of each product are formed?</h3>

Generally, the equation for the Chemical reaction is mathematically given as

2 NaOH(aq)+ CO2(g)------> Na2CO3(aq)+ H2O(l)

Therefore

Moles of CO2= 925/44

Moles of CO2=21.0

Hence

Moles of NaOH = 2 x Moles of CO2

Moles of NaOH = 2x925/44

Moles of NaOH =44.05

In conclusion

Moles of Na2CO3 925/44

Moles of Na2CO3=21.0

And

Moles of H2O= 925/44

Moles of H2O= 21.0

Hydrogen, a potential future fuel, can be produced from carbon (from coal) and steam by the following reaction: C(s)+2H2O(g)→2H2

madam [21]

The question is incomplete , complete question is:

Hydrogen, a potential future fuel, can be produced from carbon (from coal) and steam by the following reaction:

$C(s)+ 2 H_2O(g)\rightarrow 2H_2(g)+CO_2(g).\Delta H=?$

Note that the average bond energy for the breaking of a bond in CO2 is 799 kJ/mol. Use average bond energies to calculate ΔH of reaction for this reaction.

Answer:

The ΔH of the reaction is -626 kJ/mol.

Explanation:

$C(s)+ 2 H_2O(g)\rightarrow 2H_2(g)+CO_2(g).\Delta H=?$

We are given with:

$\Delta H_{H-O}=459 kJ/mol$
