Answer:- The limiting reactant is HCl.

Explanation: The balanced equation is:

2HCl+Ca\rightarrow CaCl_2+H_2

It's a stoichiometry problem. Masses of both the reactants are given and the questions asks to find out the limiting reactant.

We convert the given grams of each reactant to moles on dividing by its molar mass. Now, we can calculate the moles of any of the product on multiplying the moles of the reactant by mole ratio.

We do this starting with both the reactants and see which one gives less number of moles of the product. The limiting reactant is the one giving least number of moles of the product.

Molar mass of HCl is 36.46 gram per mol and that of Ca is 40.08 gram per mol.

Let's say we calculate the moles of hydrogen gas produced in the reaction. Mole ratio of H_2 to HCl is 1:2 and the mole ratio of H_2 to Ca is 1:1 .

The calculations are as shown below:

100gHCl(\frac{1molHCl}{36.46gHCl})(\frac{1molH_2}{2molHCl})

= 1.37 mol [tex[H_2[/tex]

100gCa(\frac{1molCa}{40.08gCa})(\frac{1molH_2}{1molCa})

= 2.50 mol H_2

From above calculations, we get the least moles of hydrogen gas from 100 grams of HCl. So, the limiting reactant is HCl.

Standard Thermodynamic Quantities for Selected Substances at 25 ∘C Reactant or product ΔHf∘(kJ/mol) Al(s) 0.0 MnO2(s) −520.0 Al2
Svet_ta [14]

Answer:

-1815.4 kJ/mol

Explanation:

Starting with standard enthalpies of formation you can calculate the standard enthalpy for the reaction doing this simple calculation:

∑ n *ΔH formation (products) - ∑ n *ΔH formation (reagents)

This is possible because enthalpy is state function meaning it only deppends on the initial and final state of the system (That's why is also possible to "mix" reactions with Hess Law to determine the enthalpy of a new reaction). Also the enthalpy of formation is the heat required to form the compound from pure elements, then products are just atoms of reagents organized in a different form.

In this case:

ΔH rxn = [(2 * -1675.7) - (3 * -520.0)] kJ/mol = -1815.4 kJ/mol

If you had 2.50 moles of anything, how many of those things would you have?
Wittaler [7]

Answer:

1.51 x 10²⁴ things

Explanation:

According to Avogadro's Constant.

1 mole of any substance, constains 6.02×10²³ particles of that subtance.

From the question,

If we have 2.50 moles of anything,

1 mole of anything ⇒ 6.02×10²³ things

2.50 moles of anything ⇒ y things

solving for y

y = (2.50× 6.02×10²³)/1

y = 15.05×10²³

y = 1.505×10²⁴

y ≈ 1.51×10²⁴
