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

What is the charge on an ion that contains 16 protons and 18 electrons?
Alika [10]
16-18= -2 so it has a negative charge. Just subtract the electrons from the protons if you get a positive number it will have a positive charge and vice versa.

Suppose that a catalyst lowers the activation barrier of a reaction from 125kJ/mol to 55kJ/mol125⁢kJ/mol to 55kJ/mol. By what fa
sineoko [7]

Answer:

The factor of increasing reaction rate is 1,85x10¹².

Explanation:

Using arrhenius formula:

k = A e^\frac{-E_{a}}{RT}

Where k is rate constant; A is frecuency factor; Eₐ is activation energy; R is gas constant (0,008134 kJ/molK); T is temperature 25°C = 298,15K

Thus, replacing for an activation energy of 125 kJ/mol assuming A as 1:

k = 1,25x10⁻²²

When activation energy is 55kJ/mol:

k = 2,31x10⁻¹⁰

Thus, the factor of increasing reaction rate is:

2,31x10⁻¹⁰/1,25x10⁻²² =<em> 1,85x10¹²</em>

<em></em>

I hope it helps!

Ice Select one: a. is a crystal of water molecules packed in an open structure stabilized by hydrogen bonds. b. is less dense th
sergiy2304 [10]

Answer:

All of the statements above are true.

Explanation:

Ice is solid water. Ice consists of an array of water molecules arranged into a crystal lattice. Ice has spaces between the water molecules so it is less dense than liquid water. Ice is about 9% less dense than liquid water. This accounts for the fact that it floats on water.

Ice contains more hydrogen bonds per water molecule when compared to liquid water.
