Briefly describe the movement of water through the water cycle

1) Evaporization is phase change process in which the water changes from a liquid to a gas (water vapor). Solar radiation is the source of energy for evaporation.

2) Condensation is phase change process in which the water changes from a gas to a liquid, the vapor becomes a cloud.

3) Precipitation is falling of the condensed water vapor as rain, snow, fog drip.

The water cycle (hydrological cycle) is the continuous movement of water all around the Earth.

The water moves from one reservoir to another, such as river to ocean, or from the ocean to the atmosphere, by the physical processes of evaporation, condensation, precipitation, infiltration, surface runoff, and subsurface flow.

onsider the following reaction: CaCN2 + 3 H2O → CaCO3 + 2 NH3 105.0 g CaCN2 and 78.0 g H2O are reacted. Assuming 100% efficiency

mestny [16]

Answer : The excess reactant is, $H_2O$

The leftover amount of excess reagent is, 7.2 grams.

Solution : Given,

Mass of $CaCN_2$ = 105.0 g

Mass of $H_2O$ = 78.0 g

Molar mass of $CaCN_2$ = 80.11 g/mole

Molar mass of $H_2O$ = 18 g/mole

Molar mass of $CaCO_3$ = 100.09 g/mole

First we have to calculate the moles of $CaCN_2$ and $H_2O$ .

$\text{ Moles of }CaCN_2=\frac{\text{ Mass of }CaCN_2}{\text{ Molar mass of }CaCN_2}=\frac{105.0g}{80.11g/mole}=1.31moles$

$\text{ Moles of }H_2O=\frac{\text{ Mass of }H_2O}{\text{ Molar mass of }H_2O}=\frac{78.0g}{18g/mole}=4.33moles$

Now we have to calculate the limiting and excess reagent.

The balanced chemical reaction is,

$CaCN_2+3H_2O\rightarrow CaCO_3+2NH_3$

From the balanced reaction we conclude that

As, 1 mole of $CaCN_2$ react with 3 mole of $H_2O$

So, 1.31 moles of $CaCN_2$ react with $1.31\times 3=3.93$ moles of $H_2O$

From this we conclude that, $H_2O$ is an excess reagent because the given moles are greater than the required moles and $CaCN_2$ is a limiting reagent and it limits the formation of product.

Left moles of excess reactant = 4.33 - 3.93 = 0.4 moles

Now we have to calculate the mass of excess reactant.

$\text{ Mass of excess reactant}=\text{ Moles of excess reactant}\times \text{ Molar mass of excess reactant}(H_2O)$

$\text{ Mass of excess reactant}=(0.4moles)\times (18g/mole)=7.2g$

Thus, the leftover amount of excess reagent is, 7.2 grams.

Which of the following terms refers to the number of moles of solute per liter of solution?

Anika [276]

Molarity
Molarity is a unit used to express the concentration of a substance, and it is defined as the number of moles of solute per decimeter cubed (liter) of solvent.
