Answer:
d. Copper (II) sulfate
Explanation:
Given data:
Mass of Al = 1.25 g
Mass of CuSO₄ = 3.28 g
What is limiting reactant = ?
Solution:
Chemical equation:
2Al + 3CuSO₄ → Al₂ (SO₄)₃ + 3Cu
Number of moles of Al:
Number of moles = mass/molar mass
Number of moles = 1.25 g/ 27 g/mol
Number of moles = 0.05 mol
Number of moles of CuSO₄:
Number of moles = mass/molar mass
Number of moles = 3.28 g/ 159.6 g/mol
Number of moles = 0.02 mol
now we will compare the moles of reactant with product.
Al : Al₂ (SO₄)₃
2 : 1
0.05 : 1/2×0.05=0.025 mol
Al : Cu
2 : 3
0.05 : 3/2×0.05 = 0.075 mol
CuSO₄ : Al₂ (SO₄)₃
3 : 1
0.02 : 1/3×0.02=0.007 mol
CuSO₄ : Cu
3 : 3
0.02 : 0.02
Less number of moles of reactants are produced by CuSO₄ thus it will act as limiting reactant.
Baking soda is a bicarbonate, which means that each molecule of baking soda
contains a sodium atom, a H atom, an O2 atom, and a CO2 molecule.
Vinegar contains acetic acid, and each molecule contains a H atom, and an acetate ion.
When they're combined, the hydrogen atom in the acetic acid meets up with the H and O2 atoms in the baking soda to form a molecule of water, while the acetate ion grabs onto the sodium atom and forms a salt, sodium, acetate. The CO2 molecule, free of its other chemical bonds, can now escape, and bubbles form as a gas.
Explanation:
conservation of mass that states that matter cannot be created or destroyed,it is consvered.
