To ensure that the air in the shuttle remains free of excess CO2, engineers test the air-purification system. they combine 1.000

× 103 g LiOH with 8.80 × 1 02 g CO2. The reaction produces 3.25 × 102 g H2O. What is the limiting reactants in this test reaction? What is the theoretical yield of this test reaction?

The

balanced reaction is:

2LiOH + CO2 = Li2CO3 + H2O

We

are given the amount of the reactants to be reacted. This will be the starting point of our

calculations. To determine the limiting reactant, we convert the amounts from grams to moles.

1.000 × 10^3 g LiOH  (1 mol / 25.95 g) = 38.54 mol LiOH

8.80 × 10^2 g CO2 ( 1mol / 44.01 g) = 20.00 mol CO2

From the balanced reaction, the molar ratio of the reactants is 2:1. This means that every two mole of lithium hydroxide, 1 mole of carbon dioxide is needed. It is clear that, from the given amounts, CO2 is the limiting reactant.

<u>Answer:</u> The limiting reagent is carbon dioxide and theoretical yield of the reaction is 360 g.

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}      .....(1)

  • <u>For LiOH:</u>

Given mass of LiOH = 1.00\times 10^3g

Molar mass of LiOH = 23.95 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

\text{Moles of LiOH}=\frac{1.00\times 10^3g}{23.95g/mol}=41.75mol

  • <u>For carbon dioxide:</u>

Given mass of carbon dioxide = 8.8\times 10^2g

Molar mass of carbon dioxide = 44 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

\text{Moles of carbon dioxide}=\frac{8.8\times 10^2g}{44g/mol}=20mol

  • The chemical equation for the reaction of lithium hydroxide and carbon dioxide gas follows:

2LiOH(s)+CO_2(g)\rightarrow Li_2CO_3(s)+H_2O(l)

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

1 moles of carbon dioxide reacts with 2 moles of lithium hydroxide.

So, 20 moles of carbon dioxide will react with = \frac{2}{1}\times 20=40mol of lithium hydroxide.

As, given amount of lithium hydroxide is more than the required amount. So, it is considered as an excess reagent.

Thus, carbon dioxide is considered as a limiting reagent because it limits the formation of product.

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

1 mole of carbon dioxide produces 1 mole of water

So, 20 moles of carbon dioxide will produce = \frac{1}{1}\times 20=20moles of water

  • Now, calculating the theoretical yield of water from equation 1, we get:

Molar mass of water = 18 g/mol

Moles of water = 20 moles

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

20mol=\frac{\text{Mass of water}}{18g/mol}\\\\\text{Mass of water}=360g

Hence, the limiting reagent is carbon dioxide and theoretical yield of the reaction is 360 g.

True or false?<br><br> To increase the concentration of a<br> solution, add more solute.
givi [52]

Answer:

Explanation:

Increasing the solute would increase the concentration. Increasing the solvent would decrease the concentration. For instance, if your lemonade was too tart, you would add more water to decrease the concentration. If your tea was too bitter, you could add more sugar to increase the sweetness. Changing the amounts of solute and solvent directly effect the concentration of the solution.

A compound is 2% H, 32.7% S, and 65.3% O by mass. What is the subscript on the O in the empirical formula for this compound?
IceJOKER [234]
Since all of those percents add up to 100, you can just directly convert that to grams. So now you can use 2 grams H, 32.7 grams S, and 65.3 grams O. Use that info and convert that to moles for an answer of 2mol H, 1mol S, and 4mol O. In every empirical question you need to divide each quantity of moles by the lowest number. In this case, that number is one, so they stay the same, but it's important to remember that step. You're final chemical formula would be H2SO4 and the answer to your question would be that the subscript for oxygen is 4. Hope this helped!
