Write a summary paragraph explaining limiting and excess reactants and how you can tell which is which.

1 answer:

3 0

In a chemical reaction, reactants that are not used up when the reaction is finished are called excess reagents. The reagent that is completely used up or reacted is called the limiting reagent, because its quantity limits the amount of products formed. The limiting reactant or limiting reagent is the first reactant to get used up in a chemical reaction. Once the limiting reactant gets used up, the reaction has to stop and cannot continue and there is extra of the other reactants left over. Those are called the excess reactants. The reactant that produces a lesser amount of product is the limiting reagent. The reactant that produces a larger amount of product is the excess reagent. To find the amount of remaining excess reactant, subtract the mass of excess reagent consumed from the total mass of excess reagent given.

What is the mole fraction of each component in a solution made by mixing 300 g of ethanol(C2H5OH) and 500 g of water?

Snowcat [4.5K]

Answer:

The mole fraction of ethanol and water in the solution are 0.19 and 0.81 respectively.

Explanation:

The Molar Fraction is a way of measuring the concentration that expresses the proportion in which a substance is found with respect to the total moles of the solution, which are calculated by adding the moles of solute (s) and solvent.

It is calculated by dividing the number of moles of one of the components by the total number of moles of the solution.

The sum of all the molar fractions of the substances present in a solution is equal to 1.

So, the expression to calculate the mole fraction is:

$Molar fraction (Xi)=\frac{moles of sudstance}{total moles of the solution}$

Being the molar mass of the compounds:

Ethanol 46 $\frac{g}{mol}$

Water 18 $\frac{g}{mol}$

the number of moles that represent the mass quantities is calculated as:

Moles of ethanol: 300 grams* $\frac{1 mol}{46 grams}$ = 6.52 moles
Moles of water: 500 grams* $\frac{1 mol}{18 grams}$ = 27.78 moles

So the total moles in solution are 6.52 moles + 27.78 moles = 34.3 moles

The mole fraction of ethanol in the solution is calculated as:

$mole fraction of ethanol=x_{ethanol} =\frac{6.52 moles}{34.3 moles}$

$x_{ethanol} =0.19$

The mole fraction of water in the solution is calculated as:

$mole fraction of water=x_{water} =\frac{27.78 moles}{34.3 moles}$

$x_{water} =0.81$

Then:

$x_{water} +x_{ethanol} = 0.81 + 0.19$

$x_{water} +x_{ethanol} =1$

<u><em>The mole fraction of ethanol and water in the solution are 0.19 and 0.81 respectively.</em></u>

What kind of chemical bonds are represented by the product in the following diagram?

katovenus [111]

The chemical bonds in CH4 are all single bonds. C only can bond 4 times because it needs 8 electrons in it's outer shell and only has four right now. The bonds represented are all single bonds because there are two electrons present on each side of the carbon. Two electrons, in this case, equals one bond.
