Answer:

15.75g of H2O

Explanation:

Equation for reaction

2H2 + O2 -> 2H2O

From the equation, 2 moles of H2 react with 1 mole of O2 to produce 2 moles of H2O

Mole ratio of reactants is 2:1

1 mole of H2 contains 2g

x moles of H2 contains 12g

x=(12×1)/2 = 6

Therefore, 6 moles of H2 contains 12 g

1 mole of O2 contains 16g

x moles of O2 contains 7g

x=(1×7)/16

x=7/16=0.4375

Therefore, 0.4375 moles of O2 contains 7g

In solving for theoretical yield,

Firstly, determine the limiting reactant between all reactants involved in the reaction.

Considering the reactants in the reaction above, H2 and O2.

Mole ratio is 2:1

2 moles of H2 is needed to react with 1 mole of O2.

Then, 6 moles of H2 will react with x moles of O2

x=(6×1)/2=3

Therefore, 6 moles of H2 will react with 3 moles of O2

1 mole of O2 reacts with 2 moles of H2.

Then, 0.4375 mole of O2 will react with (0.4375×2)=0.875 moles of H2

But we are given 7g~0.4375 moles of O2 and, 12g~6 moles of H2.

From the stoichiometry, 6 moles of H2 needs 3 moles of O2.

But only 0.4375 moles of O2 is made available in the reaction.

Hence, O2 is the limiting reactant

Now, with the limiting reactant being O2, we can find the theoretical yield of the product.

Stoichiometric ratio between the limiting reactant and the product is

1:2

This means, 1 moles of O2 reacts to produce 2 moles of H2O

0.4375 moles of O2 will produce x moles of H2O

x=(2×0.4375)/1=0.875 moles.

Therefore, the theoretical yield of the product is 0.875 moles of H2O

or 15.75g of H2O

What is an evenly distributed, uniform mixture called?
Ivenika [448]

Answer:

The correct answer is Option

B. A homogeneous mixture

Explanation: Mixture is solution which is made of two or more than two substances which are combined only physically not chemically. There are two types of mixture i. e. Homogeneous mixture and heterogeneous mixture. Homogeneous mixture is a mixture in which the substances which are combined are uniform in appearance and heterogeneous mixture is a mixture in which substances are suspended in the solution and easily differentiated.

Can a chemical reaction happen with only one substance? For example, if you select water as the first substance but you don't ad
KATRIN_1 [288]

Explanation:

Yes, a chemical reaction can happen with only one substance.

A typical example of such reaction is the radioactive decay.

Radioactive decay is the loss of elementary particles from an unstable nucleus, ultimately changing the unstable element into another more stable element. .

When radioactive elements are let alone, they decompose to form  stable harmless elements.

An example of radioactive decay is attached in the image below;

Which of the following is the correct set up AND answer to convert 6.25 x
BlackZzzverrR [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

How many mols do you have?

1 mol = 6.02 * 10^23 atoms

x mol = 6.25 * 10 ^32 atoms

1/x = 6.02*10^23 / 6.25 * 10^32        Cross multiply

6.02 * 10^23 * x = 1 * 6.25 * 10^32    Divide by 6.02 * 10^23

x = 6.25 * 10*32/ 6.02 ^10^23

x = 1.038 * 10^9 mols which is quite large.

Find the number of grams. (Use the value for copper on your periodic table. I will just use an approximate number.)\

1 mol of copper = 63 grams.

1.038 * 10^9 mols of copper = x

1/1.038 * 10^9 = 63/x         Cross multiply

x = 1.038 * 10^9 * 63

x = 6.54 * 10^10 grams of copper.
