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.

Not only for plants, but also for every organism and every life form nitrogen is important because  it poses as catalyst that supports different is chemical reactions of growth. N is filled with chlorophyll that actually gives you the answer on the question as chlorophyll allow plant to perform photosynthesis by absorbing energy from light that leads to the growth. So, it is important because it provides <span>photosynthesis.</span>

1. Which of the following is a correctly written thermochemical equation?
WITCHER [35]

Explanation:

1. Thermochemical equation is balance stoichiometric chemical equation written with the phases of the reactants and products in the brackets along with the enthalpy change of the reaction.

The given correct thermochemical reactions are:

Fe(s)+O_2(g)\rightarrow Fe_2O_3(s),\Delta H = 3,926 kJ&#10;

C_3H_8(g)+5O_2 (g)\rightarrow 3CO_2 (g)+4H_2O(l),\Delta H= 2,220 kJ/mol

2. Phase change affect the value of the enthalpy change of the thermochemical equation. This is because change in phase is accompanied by change in energy. For example:

H_2O(s)\rightarrow H_2O(g),\Delta H_{s}=51.1 kJ/mol

H_2O(l)\rightarrow H_2O(g),\Delta H_{v}=40.65 kJ/mol

In both reaction phase of water is changing with change in energy of enthalpy of reaction.
