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

Nitella [24]

Answer : The metal used was iron (the specific heat capacity is 0.449J/g^oC).

Explanation :

In this problem we assumed that heat given by the hot body is equal to the heat taken by the cold body.

q_1=-q_2

m_1\times c_1\times (T_f-T_1)=-m_2\times c_2\times (T_f-T_2)

where,

c_1 = specific heat of unknown metal = ?

c_2 = specific heat of water = 4.184J/g^oC

m_1 = mass of unknown metal = 150 g

m_2 = mass of water = 200 g

T_f = final temperature of water = 34.3^oC

T_1 = initial temperature of unknown metal = 150.0^oC

T_2 = initial temperature of water = 25.0^oC

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get

150g\times c_1\times (34.3-150.0)^oC=-200g\times 4.184J/g^oC\times (34.3-25.0)^oC

c_1=0.449J/g^oC

Form the value of specific heat of unknown metal, we conclude that the metal used in this was iron (Fe).

Therefore, the metal used was iron (the specific heat capacity is 0.449J/g^oC).

Label each of the following changes as a physical change or chemical change. Give evidence to support your answer.
SVEN [57.7K]

Answer:

A catalytic converter changes nitrogen dioxide to nitrogen gas and oxygen gas is a chemical change.

Explanation:

Hello.

In this case, since physical changes do not modify the molecular composition and structure of the material undergoing it whereas the chemical change does, for catalytic converters we should know they promote chemical reaction in which the composition is changed; for instance, for the given example, the following chemical reaction is the evidence:

2NO_2\rightarrow N_2+O_2

As you can see, nitrogen and oxygen are no longer bonded but separated by themselves, therefore, this is a chemical change.

Best regards.
