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

Answer:

Alright the very first thing you need to do is balance the equation:

2HCl + Na2CO3 -----> 2NaCl + CO2 + H2O

Now we need to find the limiting reactant by converting the volume to moles of both HCl and Na2CO3.

Volume x Concentration/molarity = moles

0.235L x 0.6 M = 0.141 moles / molar ratio of 2 = 0.0705 moles of HCl

0.094L x 0.75 M = 0.0705 moles /molar ratio of 1  = 0.0705 moles of Na2CO3

Since both of the moles are equal, it means the entire reaction is complete (while the identification of limiting reactant may seem like an unnecessary step, it's quite essential in stoichiometry, so keep an eye out) and there is no excess of any reactant.

Now we know that the product we want to calculate is aqueous so, following the law of conservation of mass, we should add both volumes together to calculate how much volume we could get for NaCl.

0.235 + 0.094 = 0.329L of NaCl

Now we apply the C1V1 = C2V2 equation using the concentration and volume of Na2CO3 because it's molar ratio is one to one to NaCl (You can also use HCL, but you have to divide their moles by 2 for the molar ratio)  and the volume we just calculated for NaCl.

(0.75M) x (0.094L) = C2 x (0.329L)

Rearrange equation to solve for C2:

<u>(0.75M) x (0.094L)</u>  =  C2

    (0.329L)

C2 = 0.214 M (Rounded)

<u>When the reaction is finished, the NaCl solution will have a molarity concentration of 0.214 M.</u>

<u></u>

Please help on 44. /45./ 46./47,
Aleonysh [2.5K]
The only one that I can do without google is 47. Sorry that I can't answer the others. The answer to 47 is this: you know that the western side of the hill has the steepest slope because the ovals showing altitude are way closer together. The closer the circles/ovals are, the steeper the slope is.

Sorry if this doesn't help much, but I answered what I could without cheating.
