Suppose 2.8 moles of methane are allowed to react with 5 moles of oxygen.

Chemistry
1 answer:
Ronch [10]3 years ago
8 0

Answer : The limiting reagent is O_2

Solution : Given,

Moles of methane = 2.8 moles

Moles of O_2 = 5 moles

Now we have to calculate the limiting and excess reagent.

The balanced chemical reaction is,

CH_4+2O_2\rightarrow CO_2+2H_2O

From the balanced reaction we conclude that

As, 2 mole of O_2 react with 1 mole of CH_4

So, 5 moles of O_2 react with \frac{5}{2}=2.5 moles of CH_4

From this we conclude that, CH_4 is an excess reagent because the given moles are greater than the required moles and O_2 is a limiting reagent and it limits the formation of product.

Hence, the limiting reagent is O_2

1) A certain liquid has a density of 0.80 g/ml. What is the mass of a 40 ml sample of this liquid? 1)
Llana [10]

Answer:

The answer is

<h2>32 g</h2>

Explanation:

The mass of a substance when given the density and volume can be found by using the formula

<h3>mass = Density × volume</h3>

From the question

volume = 40 mL

density = 0.80 g/mL

The mass is

mass = 40 × 0.8

We have the final answer as

<h3>32 g</h3>

Hope this helps you

Please explain to me how to answer no.2 questions
Marina CMI [18]

Answer: -

First Ionization energy IE 1 for element X = 801

Here X is told to be in the third period.

So principal quantum number n = 3 for X.

For 1st ionization energy the expression is

IE1 = 13.6 x Z ^2 / n^2

Where Z =atomic number.

Thus Z =( n^2 x IE 1 / 13.6)^(1/2)

Z = ( 3^2 x 801 / 13.6 )^ (1/2)

= 23

Number of electrons = Z = 23

Nearest noble gas = Argon

Argon atomic number = 18

Number of extra electrons = 23 – 18 = 5

a) Electronic Configuration= [Ar] 3d34s2

We know that more the value of atomic radii, lower the force of attraction on the electrons by the nucleus and thus lower the first ionization energy.

So more the first ionization energy, less is the atomic radius.

X has more IE1 than Y.

b) So the atomic radius of X is lesser than that of Y.

c) After the first ionization, the atom is no longer electrically neutral. There is an extra proton in the atom. Due to this the remaining electrons are more strongly pulled inside than before ionization. Hence after ionization, the radii of Y decreases.

What is the mass of 4.5 moles of nitrogen gas
Citrus2011 [14]

n = m / M

m = n × M

Nitrogen (N2) - a gas is always with an index 2 if we don't have shown how many molecules are there

m (N2) = 4,5 mol × (2×14.007 g/mol)

m (N2) = 4,5 mol × 28.014 g/mol = 126.063g

if you don't solve with the decimals in class just replace 14.007 with 14

also if you haven't learned abour gasses aways having index 2 then:

m (N2) = 4,5 mol × 14.007 g/mol = 63.0315g

How was the structure of the atom discovered
Gennadij [26K]

Answer:

read down below

Explanation:

Building on the Curies' work, the British physicist Ernest Rutherford (1871–1937) performed decisive experiments that led to the modern view of the structure of the atom. ... Because it was the first kind of radiation to be discovered, Rutherford called these substances α particles.

How many molecules of XeF6 are formed from 12.9 L of F2 (at 298 K and 2.6 atm) according to 11) the following reaction? Assume t
ddd [48]

Answer:

#Molecules XeF₆ = 2.75 x 10²³ molecules XeF₆.

Explanation:

Given … Excess Xe + 12.9L F₂ @298K & 2.6Atm => ? molecules XeF₆

1. Convert 12.9L 298K & 2.6Atm to STP conditions so 22.4L/mole can be used to determine moles of F₂ used.

=> V(F₂ @ STP) = 12.6L(273K/298K)(2.6Atm/1.0Atm) = 30.7L F₂ @ STP

2. Calculate moles of F₂ used

=> moles F₂ = 30.7L/22.4L/mole = 1.372 mole F₂ used

3. Calculate moles of XeF₆ produced from reaction ratios …

Xe + 3F₂ => XeF₆ => moles of XeF₆ = ⅓(moles F₂) = ⅓(1.372) moles XeF₆ = 0.4572 mole XeF₆

4. Calculate number molecules XeF₆ by multiplying by Avogadro’s Number  (6.02 x 10²³ molecules/mole)

=> #Molecules XeF₆ = 0.4572mole(6.02 x 10²³ molecules/mole)

                                  = 2.75 x 10²³ molecules XeF₆.
