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

Sydney and Valparaiso are the same distance from the equator and both are near the ocean. Is Valparaiso warmer, colder, or the s
PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Answer: It's colder.

Explanation: Well for starters Valparaiso is further away from the equator, and Australia is already really hot. But say that Valparaiso is further from the equator should be good enough.

What is the energy of an electromagnetic wave with a frequency of 8•10^12 Hz?
aniked [119]

Hello!

Find the Energy of the Photon by Planck's Equation, given:

E (photon energy) =? (in Joule)

h (Planck's constant) = 6.626*10^{-34}\:J * s

f (radiation frequency) = 8*10^{12}\:Hz

Therefore, we have:

E = h*f

E = 6.626*10^{-34}*8*10^{12}

E = 53.008*10^{-34+12}

E = 53.008*10^{-22}

\boxed{\boxed{E = 5.3008*10^{-21}\:Joule}}\end{array}}\qquad\checkmark

I Hope this helps, greetings ... DexteR! =)

What happens to the pressure if the gas volume is cut in half while n and I are<br> held constant?
N76 [4]

Answer: You can use Boyle's law, which states that pressure is inversely related to volume when other variables are held constant. If the final pressure of a gas is half of the initial, the volume must double if temperature is to remain the same.
