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.

Which of the following statements is TRUE? Which of the following statements is TRUE? Two electrons in the same orbital can have
Monica [59]

An orbital that penetrates into the region occupied by core electrons is less shielded from nuclear charge than an orbital that does not penetrate and therefore has a lower energy.

Explanation:

The only true statement from the given options is that "an orbital that penetrates into the region occupied by core electrons is less shielded from nuclear charge than an orbital that does not penetrate and therefore has a lower energy." Inner orbitals which are also known to contain core electrons feels the bulk of the nuclear pull on them compared to the outermost orbitals containing the valence electrons.

  • The nuclear pull is the effect of the nucleus pulling and attracting the electrons in orbitals.
  • This pull is stronger for inner orbitals and weak on the outer ones.
  • The outer orbitals are said to be well shielded from the pull of the nuclear charge.
  • Also, based on the quantum theory, electrons in the outer orbitals have higher energies because they occupy orbitals at having higher energy value.

Water molecules stick together by a force called?
patriot [66]

Answer:

Cohesion

Explanation:

Depending on how attracted molecules of the same substance are to one another, the substance will be more or less cohesive. Hydrogen bonds cause water to be exceptionally attracted to each other. Therefore, water is very cohesive.
