Write a balanced equation for the complete combustion of solid palmitic acid. Remember that oxygen (O2(g)) is necessary for the

combustion to occur, and carbon dioxide gas and water are the only products. Use H2O(l) in the balanced chemical equation because the metabolism of these compounds produces liquid water. Express your answer as a chemical equation. Identify all of the phases in your answer.

Answer:

C₁₆H₃₂O₂ (s) + 22O₂(g) → 16CO₂(g) + 16H₂O(g)

Explanation:

In order to determine a combustion reaction we should know that:

Reactants are: X compound and O₂

Products are: CO₂ and H₂O

In this case, the X compound is the solid palmitic acid: C₁₆H₃₂O₂

The balanced equation will be:

C₁₆H₃₂O₂ (s) + 22O₂(g) → 16CO₂(g) + 16H₂O(g)

If 1.72 mol of ZnS is heated in the presence of 3.04 mol pf O2,which is the limiting reactant?
gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

The limiting reactant is the ZnS

Explanation:

The equation for this reaction is:

2 ZnS + 3O₂ = 2 ZnO + 2 SO₂

2 moles of zinc sulfure reacts with 3 moles of oxygen.

Then, 1.72 mol of ZnS would react with ( 1.72 .3)/2 = 2.58 moles of O₂

If we have 3.04 moles, then the oxygen is the reactant in excess.

Let's confirm, the ZnS as the limiting reactant.

3 moles of oxygen react with 2 moles of sulfure.

Then, 3.04 moles of O₂ would react with (3.04 .2) / 3 = 2.02 moles of ZnS

We have 1.72 moles of Zn S and it is not enough for the 2.02 moles that we need, for the reaction.
