What is the limiting reactant when 8.4 moles of lithium react with 4.6 moles of oxygen gas?

Chemistry

Paul [167]3 years ago

To determine the limiting reactant, we divide the number of moles to its corresponding stoichiometric coefficient. Balancing the equation above, we get 4 Li + O2 = 2Li2O. For lithium, the result is 2.1 and for oxygen, the result is 4.6. The limiting reactant has the smaller ratio. So, the limitin reactant is lithium.

Answer: Lithium

Explanation: The balanced chemical equation is:

4Li+O_2\rightarrow 2Li_2O

It can be seen, 4 moles of lithium combines with 1 mole of oxygen gas to produce 2 moles of lithium oxide.

Thus 8.4 moles of lithium combines with=\frac{1}{4}\times {8.4}=2.1molesof oxygen gas to produce 4.2 moles of lithium oxide.

As, Lithium limits the formation of product, it is the limiting reagent and Oxygen gas is present in excess, it is called the excess reagent. (4.6-2.1)=2.5 moles of oxygen gas are present in excess.

3. What is the easiest way to create electron configurations?
jarptica [38.1K]

Answer:

To calculate an electron configuration, divide the periodic table into sections to represent the atomic orbitals, the regions where electrons are contained. Groups one and two are the s-block, three through 12 represent the d-block, 13 to 18 are the p-block and the two rows at the bottom are the f-block.Explanation:

Nistu is cooking rice in a pot. When she leaves the pot on the stove for a while, the temperature of the rice increases. What ha
Mila [183]

Answer:

Their average kinetic energy increases

Explanation:

The average kinetic energy of the rice molecules increases as the pot is left on the cooking stove.

Heat is transferred to the pot by conduction from the heat source. The heat is then transferred to the rice in the cooking pot by convection.

  • As the water in the pot heats up.
  • The rice gains thermal energy.
  • This causes the molecules of the rice particles to start vibrating.
  • As the molecules vibrate about their fixed position, their thermal energy continues to increase.
  • Therefore, the amount of heat absorbed by the rice increases with time and this actually cooks the food.

Does the reaction of hydrogen produce any products that negatively affect the environment?
klasskru [66]

The answer is NO. During combustion of hydrogen, water is produced as an end product. The chemical formulae for combustion of hydrogen are:

2H2 + O2 -->2 H2O

another advantage is that the whole of the fuel load is combusted hence little wastage. This has made the fuel advantageous in its use as rocket fuel since there is no baggage fuel.
