11.0 L of hydrogen and 5.52 L of oxygen are exploded together in a reaction tube. What volume of water vapor was formed, at STP?

Marysya12 [62]

Answer:

11.0 L

Explanation:

The equation for this reaction is given as;

2H2 + O2 --> 2H2O

2 mol of H2 reacts with 1 mol of O2 to form 2 mol of H2O

At STP;

1 mol = 22.4 L

This means;

44.8 L of H2 reacts with 22.4 L of O2 to form 44.8 L of H2O

In this reaction, the limiting reactant is H2 as O2 is in excess.

The relationship between H2 and H2O;

44.8 L = 44.8 L

11.0 L would produce x

Solving for x;

x = 11 * 44.8 / 44.8

x = 11.0 L

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

[Given] 2.16 moles SO₂

[Solve] grams (mass) SO₂

<u>Step 2: Identify Conversions</u>

[PT] Molar Mass of S - 32.07 g/mol

[PT] Molar Mass of O - 16.00 g/mol

Molar Mass of SO₂ - 32.07 + 2(16.00) = 64.07 g/mol

<u>Step 3: Convert</u>

[DA] Set up: $\displaystyle 2.16 \ mol \ SO_2(\frac{64.07 \ g \ SO_2}{1 \ mol \ SO_2})$
[DA] Multiply/Divide [Cancel out units]: $\displaystyle 138.391 \ g \ SO_2$

<u>Step 4: Check</u>

<em>Follow sig fig rules and round. We are given 3 sig figs.</em>

138.391 g SO₂ ≈ 138 g SO₂

When 16.35 moles of SI reacts with 11.26 moles of N2, how many moles of SI3N4 are formed

Allushta [10]

Answer:

5.450 mol Si₃N₄

Explanation:

Step 1: Write the balanced equation

3 Si + 2 N₂ ⇒ Si₃N₄

Step 2: Establish the theoretical molar ratio between the reactants

The theoretical molar ratio of Si to N₂ is 3:2 = 1.5:1.

Step 3: Establish the experimental molar ratio between the reactants

The experimental molar ratio of Si to N₂ is 16.35:11.26 = 1.45:1. Comparing both molar ratios, we can see that Si is the limiting reactant.

Step 4: Calculate the moles of Si₃N₄ produced from 16.35 moles of Si

The molar ratio of Si to Si₃N₄ is 3:1.

16.35 mol Si × 1 mol Si₃N₄/3 mol Si = 5.450 mol Si₃N₄
