During trial 1, the limiting reactant is __________ because____________________________

Black_prince [1.1K]

Let us assume propane was the fuel
C3H8(g) + 5O2(g) ---> 3CO2(g) + 4H2O(g) = 2217kJ
1 mole ofpropane produces 3 moles of CO2
heat absorbed by pork = 0.11 x 2217
= 243.87 kJ/mol
number of moles of propane = 1700kJ / 243.87 kJ/mol
= 6.971 moles
1 mole of C3H8 = 3 moles ofCO2
6.971 moles of C3H8 = ?
3 x 6.971 = 20.913 moles of CO2
Convert to grams
mass = MW x mole
= 44 x 20.913
= 920.172g of CO2 emitted

Which of the following you is true for a limiting reactant

skad [1K]

Answer:

C) The limiting reactant has the lowest ratio of moles available / coefficient in the balanced equation.

Explanation:

Please, find attached a complete question to determine which of the statements is or are true for a limiting reactant in a chemical equation.

First, remember that the limiting reactant is the substance that is consumed completely while the excess reactant is the substance that does not react completely.

The limiting reactant is found comparing the stoichiometry ratio and the actual ratio between the reactants.

The stoichiometry ratio is found using the coefficientes of the chemical equation.

For illustration, assume the general chemical equation:

$aA+bB\rightarrow cC+dD$

The stoichiometric ratio of the reactants is:

$a\text{ }moles\text{ }of\text{ }A/b\text{ }moles\text{ }of\text{ }B$

If the ratio of the available moles of substance A to the available moles of substance B is greater than the stoichiometric ratio, it means that there are more moles of the substance A than what is needed to react with the available moles of substance B, then A will be in excess and B will B the limiting reactant.

If, on the contrary, the ratio of the available moles of substance A to the available moles of substance B is is less than the stoichiometric ratio, then substance A is less than the necessary to make the all the moles of substance B react, meaning that the substance A will limit the reaction (it will be consumed completely), while the substance B will be in excess.

As for the options:

A) The limiting reactant is has the lowest coefficient in a balanced equation.

This is false, since it is not the magnitude of the coefficiente what determines the limiting reactant, but the comparison of the ratios.

B) The limiting reactant is the reactant for which you have the fewest number of moles.

This is false because it is not the number of moles what determines the limiting reactant , but the comparison of the ratios.

C) The limiting reactant has the lowest ratio of moles available / coefficient in the balanced equation.

This is true as proved below.

The stoichiometric ratio of the reactants is:

$a\text{ }moles\text{ }of\text{ }A/b\text{ }moles\text{ }of\text{ }B$

The actual ratio is:

$available\text{ }moles\text{ }of\text{ }A/available\text{ }moles\text{ }of\text{ }B$

Assume the first ratio is less than the second (which describes when the substance A is in excess and the limiting reactant is the substance B).

$a\text{ }moles\text{ }of\text{ }A/b\text{ }moles\text{ }of\text{ }B$

Change the relation to show the ratios of moles available of each substance to the cofficient in the chemical equation:

$available\text{ }moles\text{ }of\text{ }B/b\text{ }moles\text{ }of\text{ }B$

Then, in the scenary that the limiting reactant is the substance B, the ratio of the left is lower than the ratio of the right, which is the same that limiting reactant has the lowest ratio of moles available / coefficient in the balanced equation.

D) The limiting reactant has the lowest ratio of coefficients in the balanced eqution/moles available.

This ratio is the inverse of the ratio of the previous statement, thus the relation is inverse, and, since the previous statement was true, this statement is false.

Which of the following is true about single-replacement reactions

miss Akunina [59]

Answer:

Two reactants produce two products

Explanation:

In single replacement reaction, an ionic specie is replaced by another specie according to the following general scheme

Z + XY → ZY + X

Here Z can be a metal or a non-metal. So, this removes the first given option. Also, It can be seen from the general reaction that the product is not single deducting the second option. The last option states that, "any metal replaced any other metal", this is not necessarily true. For the replacement of metal the other metal should be more reactive.

So, the only true statement about single-replacement reaction is, "two reactants produce two products"
