Answer:
CaCO3 is the limiting reactant
55 g of CO2 is made
Explanation:
First we must put down the reaction equation;
CaCO3(s) + 2HCl(aq) ---------> CaCl2(s) + H2O(l) + CO2(g)
Number of mole of CaCO3 = 125g/100gmol-1 = 1.25 moles
From the reaction equation;
1 mole of CaCO3 yields 1 mole of CO2
Hence 1.25 moles of CaCO3 yields 1.25 moles of CO2
For HCl;
number of moles of HCl = 125g/36.5 g mol-1 = 3.42 moles
From the reaction equation;
2 moles of HCl yields 1 mole of CO2
3.42 moles of HCl yields 3.42 * 1/2 = 1.71 moles of CO2
Hence CaCO3 is the limiting reactant.
Mass of CO2 produced = 1.25g * 44 gmol-1 = 55 g of CO2
The 32.06 represent The atomic mass, the average number of protons & neutrons
<h3>Further explanation
</h3>
The Atomic Number (Z) indicates the number of protons in an atom of an element. If the atom is neutral then the number of protons will be equal to the number of electrons. So the atomic number can also indicate the number of electrons.
So atomic number = number of protons = number of electrons
Mass Number (A) is the sum of protons and neutrons
Mass Number (A) = Number of protons + Number of Neutrons
So that the relationship between atomic numbers and mass numbers can be formulated as follows:
Atomic Number (Z) = Mass Number (A) - Number of Neutrons
In the following element notation,
X = symbol of elemental atom
A = mass number
= number of protons + number of neutrons
Z = atomic number
= number of protons = number of electrons, on neutral elements
Methane is a hydrocarbon which when burns in air (combustion) produces carbon dioxide and water. The equation for the reaction;
CH4 +2O2 = CO2 +2H2O
When one mole of methane combusts 2 moles of water are formed
Therefore; when 22 moles of methane combusts 44 moles of water are formed (22 ×2)
Answer:-
A. A water molecule
Explanation:-
A molecule is the smallest particle of a compound that retains all it's chemical properties.
Here H2O is a compound. So the smallest particle that will retain all the chemical properties and still remain water is water molecule.
Atoms Hydrogen and Oxygen both have different chemical properties from water H2O and are thus different.
Hydrogen peroxide is different molecule from water. So it is also not water.
They all have the same number of electrons in the electron cloud.
