What are the small packets of energy called? Small packets of energy are called quanta (plural of quantum). In case of electromagnetic radiations (eg. light), the small, discrete particles of energy are called photons.
Molar mass
H2S = 34.0 g/mol
O2 = 31.99 g/mol
S8 = 256.52 g/mol
Identifying excess reagent and the limiting of the reaction :
8 H2S(g) + 4 O2(g) = S8(I) + 8 H2O(g)
8 x 34 g H2S --------> 256. 52 g S8
35.0 g ----------------> ??
35.0 x 256.52 / 8 x 34 =
8978.2 / 272 => 33.00 g of S8
H2S is the limiting reactant
---------------------------------------------
4 x 31.99 g O2 --------------- 256.52 g S8
40.0 g O2 --------------------- ??
40.0 x 256.52 / 4 x 31.99 =
10260.8 / 127.96 = 80.16 g of S8
O2 is the excess reagent is the excess <span>reagent
</span>
------------------------------------------------------------
H2S is the limiting reactant, one that is fully consumed, it is he who determines the mass of S8 produced
33.0 g ----------- 100%
?? g ------------- 95 %
95 x 33.00 / 100 => 31.35 g
hope this helps!
The law of conservation of mass or principle of mass conservation states that for any system closed to all transfers of matter and energy, the mass of the system must remain constant over time, as system mass cannot change quantity if it is not added or removed. Hence, the quantity of mass is "conserved" over time.
