The balanced equation for the reaction is as follows
2H₂ + O₂ --> 2H₂O
stoichiometry of H₂ to O₂ is 2:1
number of H₂ moles - 30.0 g / 2 g/mol = 15 mol
number of O₂ moles - 80.0 g / 32 g/mol = 2.5 mol
limiting reactant is the reagent in which only a fraction is used up in the reaction
if H₂ is the limiting reactant
if 2 mol of H₂ requires 1 mol of O₂
then 15 mol of H₂ requires 1/2 x 15.0 = 7.5 mol of O₂
but only 2.5 mol of O₂ is required
this means that O₂ is the limiting reagentt and H₂ is in excess
Answer:
<span>Carbon readily forms covalent bonds with other carbon atoms.
Explanation:
As we know approximately more than 95 % compounds, either isolated, discovered or synthesized belongs to organic compounds containing carbon atoms.
This great diversity of organic compounds is due to following facts.
1) Catenation:
Carbon has a peculiar behavior of self linkage. This self linkage of one carbon with another is called as catenation. In this way carbon can form a long chain of carbon atom. A branching can also take place when one carbon is bonded further to three of four carbon atoms.
2) Isomerism:
Secondly the carbon containing compounds show isomerism. In which molecular formula is same but structural formula is different. For example molecular formula C</span>₅H₁₂ can make following compounds,
a) n-Pentane
b) 2-Methylbutane
c) 2,2-Dimethylpropane
3) Multiple Bonds:
Carbon can form multiple bonds i.e double bond like in alkenes and triple bonds like in alkyne.
Due to these factors carbon gets very high number of opportunities to form large number of compounds.
The reaction CO₂(g) → C(s) +O₂(g) is a decomposition reaction is true
Explanation
A Decomposition reaction is a reaction in which involve breaking down a compound into two or more simpler substances.
The reaction above is a decomposition reaction since CO₂ molecule is broken down into C (an element) and O₂ (a molecule).
Answer: C
