2Ca + O2 = 2CaO
First, determine which is the excess reactant
72.5 g Ca (1 mol) =1.8089725036
(40.078 g)

65 g O2 (1 mol) =2.0313769611
(15.999g × 2)
Since the ratio of to O2 is 2:1 in the balanced reaction, divide Ca's molar mass by 2 to get 0.9044862518. this isn't necessary because Ca is already obviously the limiting reactant. therefore, O2 is the excess reactant.

Now do the stoichiometry
72.5 g Ca (1 mol Ca) (1 mol O2)
(40.078 g Ca)(2 mol Ca)(31.998g O2)

=0.0282669621 g of O2 left over

Cinnamon owes its flavor and odor to cinnamaldehyde (C9H8O). Determine the boiling point elevation of a solution of 92.7 mg of c
Flauer [41]

Answer:

The boiling point elevation is 3.53 °C

Explanation:

∆Tb = Kb × m

∆Tb is the boiling point elevation of the solution

Kb is the molal boiling point elevation constant of CCl4 = 5.03 °C/m

m is the molality of the solution is given by moles of solute (C9H8O) divided by mass of solvent (CCl4) in kilogram

Moles of solute = mass/MW =

mass = 92.7 mg = 92.7/1000 = 0.0927 g

MW = 132 g/mol

Moles of solute = 0.0927/132 = 7.02×10^-4 mol

Mass of solvent = 1 g = 1/1000 = 0.001 kg

m = 7.02×10^-4 mol ÷ 0.001 kg = 0.702 mol/kg

∆Tb = 5.03 × 0.702 = 3.53 °C (to 2 decimal places)

How many atoms of cobalt are in one formula unit of cobalt (III) oxide? one two three six
IrinaK [193]
I believe the correct answer is the second option. There will be two cobalt atoms in one formula unit of cobalt (III) oxide. It has a chemical formula of Co2O3. This compound is does not naturally occur so it is being synthesized. It is mostly used as bleaching agent.
