Answer:

1. 17.5 g of CO₂

2. The limiting reactant is carbon (graphite), and its formula is C(graphite)

3. 3.7 g of O₂

Explanation:

First, we have to write the chemical equation for the reaction. For this, we have to know the chemical formula of each reactant and product:

  • Reactants: carbon(graphite) ⇒ C(graphite) ;  oxygen gas ⇒ O₂(g)
  • Products: carbon dioxide ⇒ CO₂(g)

Thus, we write the chemical equation:

C(graphite) + O₂(g) → CO₂(g)

The equation is already balanced because it has the same number of C and O atoms on both sides. Thus, we can see that 1 mol of C(graphite) reacts with 1 mol of O₂ and produce 1 mol of CO₂ (mole-to-mole reaction).

Now we convert the grams of reactants to moles by using the molecular weight (Mw) of each compound:

Mw(C) = 12 g/mol

moles of C(graphite) = 4.77g/(12 g/mol) = 0.3975 mol

Mw(O₂) = 16 g/mol x 2 = 32 g/mol

moles of O₂ = 16.4 g/(32 g/mol) = 0.5125 mol

Now, we can compare the stoichiometric ratio (given by the moles of reactants in the equation) with the actual ratio (given by the mass of reactants we have):

stoichiometric ratio ⇒ 1 mol C(graphite)/mol O₂

actual ratio ⇒ 0.3975 mol C(graphite)/0.5125 mol O₂

We can see that we need 0.3975 moles of O₂ to react with C(graphite) and we have more moles (0.5125 mol) so the excess reactant is O₂. Thus, the limiting reactant is C(graphite).

The amount of product (CO₂) that is formed is calculated from the amount of limiting reactant. We can see in the chemical equation that 1 mol of CO₂ is produced from 1 mol of C(graphite) ⇒ stoichiometric ratio = 1 mol CO₂/mol C(graphite).

Thus, we multiply the moles of C(graphite) we have by the stoichiometric ratio to calculate the moles of CO₂ produced:

moles of CO₂ = 0.3975 mol C(graphite) x 1 mol CO₂/mol C(graphite) = 0.3975 mol CO₂

Now, we convert the moles of CO₂ to mass by using the Mw:

Mw(CO₂) = 12 g/mol + (16 g/mol x 2) = 44 g/mol

mass of CO₂ = 0.3975 mol CO₂ x 44 g/mol CO₂ = 17.5 g

Therefore, the maximum amount of carbon dioxide (CO₂) formed is 17.5 g.

Since this is a mole-to-mole reaction, the moles of excess reactant that remains after the reaction is complete is calculated as the difference between the moles of excess reactant and limiting reactant:

remaining moles of O₂ = 0.5125 mol - 0.3975 mol = 0.115 mol O₂

Finally, we convert the moles of O₂ to mass with the Mw (32 g/mol) :

mass of O₂ = 0.115 mol O₂ x 32 g/mol = 3.68 g

Therefore, the mass of the excess reagent that remains after the reaction is complete is 3.7 g.

Vapour pressure is the pressure exerted by vapour molecules over a liquid surface.

The vapour pressure is a property

a) inter molecular forces: higher the inter molecular forces lower the vapour pressure, In this case we have taken same liquid (milk) hence in all case the inter molecular forces will be same.

b) Temperature: higher the temperature higher the kinetic energy of molecules and more the tendency of liquid molecules to convert to vapor phase.

The vapor pressure will be independent of the container being closes or open.

Thus vapor pressure will be high in Bowl B which is uncovered, and the milk is warmer than room temperature, as it has higher temperature than all other bowl of milk.

If evaporation occurs what will change 0.70 molar solution of CuSO4
faust18 [17]

Answer:

A. Molarity will increase .

Explanation:

Molarity = moles of solute per litre of solution

= moles of solute / volume of solution

If evaporation occurs , volume of solution decreases and moles of solute remains constant . Hence denominator decreases and numerator remains constant .

Hence the molarity increases .
