Answer:
Mass of water = 73.08 g
Explanation:
Given data:
Mass of hydrogen = 35 g
Mass of oxygen = 65 g
Mass of water = ?
Solution:
First of all we will write the balanced chemical equation:
2H₂ + O₂ → 2H₂O
Number of moles of hydrogen = mass/ molar mass
Number of moles of hydrogen = 35 g/ 2 g/mol
Number of moles of hydrogen = 17.5 mol
Number of moles of oxygen = 65 g / 32 g/mol
Number of moles of oxygen = 2.03 moles
Now we compare the moles of water with moles hydrogen and oxygen.
H₂ : H₂O
2 : 2
17.5 : 17.5
O₂ : H₂O
1 : 2
2.03 : 2× 2.03 =4.06 mol
Number of moles of water produced by oxygen are less so oxygen is limitting reactant.
Mass of water:
Mass of water = number of moles × molar mass
Mass of water = 4.06 mol × 18 g/mol
Mass of water = 73.08 g
Elements in a group or a column have the same number of outer electrons so they have similar chemical properties
