The limiting reactant is the chemical substance that determines the amount of product(s) that can ultimately be formed in a reac

tion. During the reaction, the limiting reactant is completely consumed or used up, and therefore, causes the reaction to stop. The limiting reactant can be identified through stoichiometric calculations. After comparing the results, the reactant that produces the smaller mass of product is identified as the limiting reactant. Determine the excess reactant and calculate the mass of the remaining excess reactant after 20.0 grams of Al and 10.0 grams of O2 react. 4 Al(s) + 3 O2(g) → 2 Al2O3(s) For the calculations in this module, the molar mass of an element will be rounded to the hundredths place (0.01 g).

Answer:

The reactant in excess is Al (s)

The mass of remaining excess reactant is 8.76 g.

Explanation:

This is the reaction:

4 Al(s) + 3 O₂(g) → 2 Al₂O₃(s)

4 moles of solid aluminun reacts with 3 moles of oxygen, to make 2 moles of alumina.

Molar mass Al: 26.98 g/m

Molar mass O₂ : 32.00 g/m

Mass / Molar mass : Moles

20 g Al / 26.98 g/m = 0.741 moles

10 g O₂ / 32.00 g/m =  0.312 moles

Let's find out the limiting reactant and the reactant in excess by rules of three:

4 moles of Al reacts with 3 moles of O₂

0.741 moles of Al reacts with  (0.741 .3)/4 = 0.555 moles

Now we know that are needed 0.555 moles of O₂ to consume all the Al but we only have 0.312 moles of O₂.

The O₂ is the limiting reactant, so the Al is the reactant in excess.

Let's make another rule of three

3 moles of O₂ reacts with 4 moles of Al

0.312 of O₂ reacts with  (0.312  .4)/3 = 0.416

We need 0.416 moles to consume all the O₂ and we have 0.741 moles of Al. There's still Al to consume, that's why the Al is the reactant in excess.

When we use 0.416 moles of 0.741 moles of Al, 0.325 moles are remaining to consume all the Al.

Let's calculate the mass

0.325 moles . 26.98 g/m = 8.76 grams

How many kilojoules of energy would be required to heat a 225g block of aluminum from 23.0 C to 73.5 C?
gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

\boxed {\boxed {\sf 10.2 \ kJ}}

Explanation:

We are asked to find how many kilojoules of energy would be required to heat a block of aluminum.

We will use the following formula to calculate heat energy.

q=mc \Delta T

The mass (m) of the aluminum block is 225 grams and the specific heat (c) is 0.897 Joules per gram degree Celsius. The change in temperature (ΔT) is the difference between the final temperature and the initial temperature.

  • ΔT = final temperature - inital temperature

The aluminum block was heated from 23.0 °C to 73.5 °C.

  • ΔT= 73.5 °C - 23.0 °C = 50.5 °C

Now we know all three variables and can substitute them into the formula.

  • m= 225 g
  • c= 0.897 J/g° C
  • ΔT= 50.5 °C

q= (225 \ g )(0.897 \ J/g \textdegree C)(50.5 \textdegree C)

Multiply the first two numbers. The units of grams cancel.

q= (225 \ g  * 0.897 \ J/g \textdegree C)(50.5 \textdegree C)

q= (225   * 0.897 \ J / \textdegree C)(50.5 \textdegree C)

q= (201.825\ J / \textdegree C)(50.5 \textdegree C)

Multiply again. This time, the units of degrees Celsius cancel.

q= 201.825 \ J * 50.5

q= 10192.1625 \ J

The answer asks for the energy in kilojoules, so we must convert our answer. Remember that 1 kilojoule contains 1000 joules.

\frac { 1  \ kJ}{ 1000 \ J}

Multiply by the answer we found in Joules.

10192.1625 \ J * \frac{ 1 \ kJ}{ 1000 \ J}

10192.1625  * \frac{ 1 \ kJ}{ 1000 }

\frac {10192. 1625}{1000} \ kJ

10.1921625 \ kJ

The original values of mass, temperature, and specific heat all have 3 significant figures, so our answer must have the same. For the number we found, that is the tneths place. The 9 in the hundredth place tells us to round the 1 up to a 2.

10.2 \ kJ

Approximately <u>10.2 kilojoules</u> of energy would be required.

Answer:

Multiple organisms may be affected by the loss of a plant species.

Explanation:

Organisms that feed directly off the lost plant will be affected, and because of that, organisms that feed off those organisms will be affected. This could also affect other organisms like parasites. Other plant species may be affected from the loss of a competitive species. This could affect organisms that feed off that plant, and the organisms that feed off those organisms.

#2 During chemistry lab, Mrs. Black’s students placed an antacid tablet in a zip lock bag. They recorded the mass of the tablet in the bag. Then they carefully added 50 grams of water and quickly sealed the bag. The tablet began to fizz and soon disappeared. The bag was filled with gas and it felt cold to the touch.
