Answer:
(a) oxygen
(b) 154g (to 3sf)
(c) 79.9% (to 3sf)
Explanation:
mass (g) = moles × Mr/Ar
note: eqn means chemical equation
(a)
moles of P = 84.1 ÷ 30.973 = 2.7152 moles
moles of O2 = 85÷2(16) = 2.65625 moles
Assuming all the moles of P is used up,
moles of O2 / moles of phosphorus = 5/4 (according to balanced chemical eqn)
moles of O2 required = 5/4 × 2.7152moles = 3.394 moles (more than supplied which is 2.65625moles)
therefore there is insufficient moles of O2 and the limiting reactant is oxygen.
(b)
moles of P2O5 produced
= 2/5 (according to eqn) × 2.7152
= 1.08608moles
mass of P2O5 produced
= 1.08608 × [ 2(30.973) + 5(16) ]
= 154.164g
= approx. 154g to 3 sig. fig.
(c)
% yield = actual/theoretical yield × 100%
= 123/154 × 100%
= 79.870%
= approx. 79.9% (to 3sf)
Answer: reaction type is combustion
Explanation:
C6H14 + 19/2O2 ==> 6CO2 + 7H2O
Acids react with most metals to form a salt and hydrogen gas. ... For example, zinc metal reacts with hydrochloric acid producing zinc chloride and hydrogen gas. \[\ce{Zn(s) + 2HCl(aq) → ZnCl2(aq) + H2(g)}\] Bases react with certain metals like zinc or aluminum for example to also produce hydrogen gas.
