What is the limiting reagent when a 2.00 g sample of ammonia is mixed with 4.00 g of oxygen?​

Chemistry

UNO [17]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Ammonia is limiting reactant

Amount of oxygen left  = 0.035 mol

Explanation:

Masa of ammonia = 2.00 g

Mass of oxygen = 4.00 g

Which is limiting reactant = ?

Balance chemical equation:

4NH₃ + 3O₂     →     2N₂ + 6H₂O

Number of moles of ammonia:

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Number of moles = 2.00 g/ 17 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.12 mol

Number of moles of oxygen:

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Number of moles = 4.00 g/ 32 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.125 mol

Now we will compare the moles of ammonia and oxygen with water and nitrogen.

                      NH₃          :            N₂

                        4             :             2

                      0.12           :           2/4×0.12 = 0.06

                      NH₃         :            H₂O

                        4            :             6

                        0.12       :           6/4×0.12 = 0.18

                       

                       O₂            :            N₂

                        3             :             2

                      0.125        :           2/3×0.125 = 0.08

                        O₂           :            H₂O

                        3              :             6

                        0.125       :           6/3×0.125 = 0.25

The number of moles of water and nitrogen formed by ammonia are less thus ammonia will be limiting reactant.

Amount of oxygen left:

                        NH₃          :             O₂

                           4            :              3

                           0.12       :          3/4×0.12= 0.09

Amount of oxygen react = 0.09 mol

Amount of oxygen left  = 0.125 - 0.09 = 0.035 mol

If the freezing point of the solution had been incorrectly read 0.3 °C lower than the true freezing point, would the calculated
Dovator [93]

Answer : The molar mass of the solute would be low.

Explanation :

Formula used for depression in freezing point is:  

\Delta T_f=i\times K_f\times m\\\\T^o-T_s=i\times K_f\times\frac{w_b}{M_b}\times w_a}

where,

\Delta T_f = change in freezing point

\Delta T_s = freezing point of solution

\Delta T^o = freezing point of water

i = Van't Hoff factor

K_f = freezing point constant

m = molality

w_b = mass of solute

w_a = mass of solvent

M_b = molar mass of solute

From the formula we conclude that, when the freezing point of the solution read incorrectly that is freezing point of the solution is lower than the true freezing point then this means that change in freezing point would be high and the molar mass of the solute would be low.

Hence, the molar mass of the solute would be low.

What is my theoretical yield (in moles) of Potassium Bromide (KBr) if I start with 40 grams of Iron (II) Bromide [FeBr2]? moles
Verizon [17]
The reaction will be: FeBr2 + K --> KBr + Fe
Balancing gives: FeBr2 + 2K --> 2KBr + Fe
The molar mass of FeBr2 is 55.85 + 2*79.9 = 215.65 g/mol.
We divide 40 g / 215.65 g/mol = 0.185 mol FeBr2
Based on stoichiometry:
(0.185 mol FeBr2)(2 mol KBr/1 mol FeBr2) = 0.370 mol KBr

Information-
tekilochka [14]

Answer:

So first thing to do in these types of problems is write out your chemical reaction and balance it:

Mg + O2 --> MgO

Then you need to start thinking about moles of Magnesium for moles of Magnesium Oxide. Based on the above equation 1 mole of Magnesium is needed to make one mole of Magnesium Oxide.

To get moles of magnesium you need to take the grams you started with (.418) and convert to moles by dividing by molecular weight of Mg (24.305), this gives you .0172 moles of Mg.

The theoretical yield would be the assumption that 100% of the magnesium will be converted into Magnesium Oxide, so you would get, based on the first equation, .0172 mol of MgO. Multiplying this by the molecular weight of MgO (24.305+16) gives us .693 g of MgO.

The percent yield is what you actually got in the experiment, and for this you subtract off the total mass from the crucible mass, or 27.374 - 26.687, which gives .66 g of MgO obtained.

Percent yield is acutal/theoretical, .66/.693, or 95.24%.

I'll let you do the same for the second trial, and average percent yield is just an average of the two trials percent yield.

Hope this helps.
