Mass of Sulphur dioxide : 256 g

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

Reaction

S + O2 --> SO2 *

Required

Mass of Sulphur dioxide

Solution

mol of Sulphur (Ar=32 g/mol) :

mol = mass : Ar

mol = 128 : 32

mol = 4

From the equation, mol ratio S : SO2 = 1 : 1, so mol SO2 = 4

Mass of SO2 :

mass = mol x MW SO2

mass = 4 x 64

mass = 256 g

How many grams of O2 are needed to react with 18.2 g of NH3?

erastova [34]

Answer:

44 g oxygen are needed.

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of oxygen needed = ?

Mass of ammonia = 18.2 g

Solution:

Chemical equation:

4NH₃ + 5O₂ → 4NO + 6H₂O

Now we will calculate the number of moles of ammonia:

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Number of moles = 18.2 g/ 17 g/mol

Number of moles = 1.1 mol

Now we will compare the moles of ammonia with oxygen from balance chemical equation.

NH₃ : O₂

4 : 5

1.1 : 5/4×1.1 = 1.375 mol

Mass of oxygen needed:

Mass = number of moles × molar mass

Mass = 1.375 mol × 32 g/mol

Mass = 44 g

A box has sides of 10 cm, 8.2 cm, and 3.5 cm. What is its volume?

aksik [14]

Do length x width x height which is 10 cm x 8.2 cm and 3.5 cm. Pay close attention to sig figs as well (or if your teacher doesn't mind all that much then don't fret about it, but mine's really picky!)

The balanced equation for combustion in an acetylene torch is shown below: 2C2H2 + 5O2 → 4CO2 + 2H2O The acetylene tank contains

andriy [413]

Answer: 67.2 moles

Explanation: $2C_2H5+5O_2\rightarrow 4CO_2+2H_2O$

According to the given balanced equation, 2 moles of acetylene $C_2H_2$ combine with 5 moles of oxygen $O_2$ to produce 4 moles of carbon dioxide $CO_2$ .

Thus if 2 moles of acetylene $C_2H_2$ combine with = 5 moles of oxygen $O_2$

35 moles of acetylene $C_2H_2$ combine with= $\frac{5}{2}\times {35}=87.5$ moles of oxygen $O_2$

But as only 84 moles of oxygen are available, acetylene is not a limiting reagent.

5 moles of oxygen $O_2$ reacts with = 2 moles of acetylene $C_2H_2$

84 moles of oxygen $O_2$ reacts with= $\frac{2}{5}\times {84}=33.6$ moles of acetylene $C_2H_2$

Thus Oxygen is the limiting reagent as it limits the formation of products. Acetylene is excess reagent as it is present in excess.

2 moles of acetylene $C_2H_2$ produce= 4 moles of carbon dioxide $CO_2$ .

33.6 moles of acetylene $C_2H_2$ produce= $\frac{4}{2}\times {33.6}=67.2$ moles of of carbon dioxide $CO_2$ .
