Answer:

Hydrosulfuric acid will act as limiting reactant.

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of iron(III) chloride = 3243.0 g

Mass of hydrosulfuric acid = 511.8 g

Limiting reactant = ?

Solution:

Chemical equation:

2FeCl₃ + 3H₂S       →       Fe₂S₃ + 6HCl

Number of moles of iron(III) chloride:

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Number of moles = 3243.0 g/ 162.2 g/mol

Number of moles = 20 mol

Number of moles of hydrosulfuric acid:

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Number of moles = 511.8 g/ 34.1 g/mol

Number of moles = 15 mol

Now we will compare the moles of both reactant with products

                      FeCl₃          :          Fe₂S₃

                       2                :            1

                      20               :          1/2 ×20 = 10

                      FeCl₃          :            HCl

                       2                :              6

                      20               :          6/2 ×20 = 60

                      H₂S             :          Fe₂S₃

                       3                :            1

                      15               :          1/3 ×15 = 5

                      H₂S            :            HCl

                       3                :              6

                      15                :          6/3 ×15 = 30

Hydrosulfuric acid producing less number of moles of product thus, it will act as limiting reactant.

The equation shows one mole of ethanol fuel being burned in oxygen. Convert the energy released into its equivalent mass. C2H5OH
lana [24]

Answer:

47.9 g of ethanol

Explanation:

Combustion is a chemical reaction in which a substance reacts with oxygen to produce heat and light. Combustion reactions have been very useful as a source of energy. Ethanol is now burnt for energy purposes as a fuel. Ethanol has even been proposed as a possible alternative to fossil fuels.

Since 1 mole of ethanol when combusted releases 1367 kJ/mol of energy

x moles of ethanol releases 1418 kJ/mol.

x= 1 × 1418 kJ/mol/ 1367 kJ/mol

x= 1.04 moles of ethanol.

Mass of ethanol = number of moles × molar mass

Molar mass of ethanol = 46.07 g/mol

Mass of ethanol = 1.04 moles × 46.07 g/mol

Mass of ethanol= 47.9 g of ethanol

What did scientists discover when they arranged elements in order of increasing atomic mass?
asambeis [7]
<span>The scientists discovered that when they organized elements in order of increasing atomic mass there is a pattern of repetition of properties (A). The periodic law was developed by Dmitri Mendeleev and Lothar Mayer in 1869. They worked independently of each other and both created a periodic table. They both arranged the items on the table by weight and both suggested that certain properties of the elements recur. The Mendeleev table is the most important table because the values for the atomic mass are the most accurate.</span>
