Answer:

45.225 grams of H₂O will be formed when 36.8 g H₂ is mixed with 40.2 g O₂

Explanation:

The balanced reaction is:

2 H₂ + O₂ → 2 H₂O

By reaction stoichiometry (that is, the relationship between the amount of reagents and products in a chemical reaction), the following amounts of each compound participate in the reaction:

H₂: 2 moles
O₂: 1 mole
H₂O: 2 moles

Being the molar mass of the compounds:

H₂: 2 g/mole
O₂: 32 g/mole
H₂O: 18 g/mole

then, by reaction stoichiometry, the following amounts of reactant and product mass participate:

H₂: 2 moles* 2 g/mole= 4 g
O₂: 1 mole* 32 g/mole= 32 g
H₂O: 2 moles* 18 g/mole= 36 g

The limiting reagent is one that is consumed first in its entirety, determining the amount of product in the reaction. When the limiting reagent is finished, the chemical reaction will stop.

To determine the limiting reagent, it is possible to use the reaction stoichiometry of the reaction and a simple rule of three as follows: if by stoichiometry 4 g of H₂ react with 32 g of O₂, 36.8 g of H₂ with how much mass of O₂ will it react?

$mass of O_{2} =\frac{36.8 grams of H_{2}*32 grams of O_{2} }{4 grams of H_{2}}$

mass of O₂=294.4 grams

But 294.4 grams of O₂ are not available, 40.2 grams are available. Since you have less mass than you need to react with 36.8 grams of H₂, oxygen O₂ will be the limiting reagent.

Then you can apply the following rule of three: if by stoichiometry 32 grams of O₂ form 36 grams of H₂O, 40.2 grams of O₂ how much mass of H₂O will it form?

$mass of H_{2}O=\frac{40.2 grams of O_{2} *36 grams of H_{2}O }{32 grams of O_{2} }$

mass of H₂O= 45.225 grams

45.225 grams of H₂O will be formed when 36.8 g H₂ is mixed with 40.2 g O₂

Answer: The value of equilibrium constant for the given reaction is 56.61

Explanation:

We are given:

Initial moles of iodine gas = 0.100 moles

Initial moles of hydrogen gas = 0.100 moles

Volume of container = 1.00 L

Molarity of the solution is calculated by the equation:

$\text{Molarity of solution}=\frac{\text{Number of moles}}{\text{Volume}}$

$\text{Molarity of iodine gas}=\frac{0.1mol}{1L}=0.1M$

$\text{Molarity of hydrogen gas}=\frac{0.1mol}{1L}=0.1M$

Equilibrium concentration of iodine gas = 0.0210 M

The chemical equation for the reaction of iodine gas and hydrogen gas follows:

$H_2+I_2\rightleftharpoons 2HI$

Initial: 0.1 0.1

At eqllm: 0.1-x 0.1-x 2x

Evaluating the value of 'x'

$\Rightarrow (0.1-x)=0.0210\\\\\Rightarrow x=0.079M$

The expression of $K_c$ for above equation follows:

$K_c=\frac{[HI]^2}{[H_2][I_2]}$

$[HI]_{eq}=2x=(2\times 0.079)=0.158M$

$[H_2]_{eq}=(0.1-x)=(0.1-0.079)=0.0210M$

$[I_2]_{eq}=0.0210M$

Putting values in above expression, we get:

$K_c=\frac{(0.158)^2}{0.0210\times 0.0210}\\\\K_c=56.61$

Hence, the value of equilibrium constant for the given reaction is 56.61

What is the difference between physical and chemical change?

Vikki [24]

There are several differences between a physical and chemical change in matter or substances. A physical change in a substance doesn't change what the substance is. In a chemical change where there is a chemical reaction, a new substance is formed and energy is either given off or absorbed.

Magnesium oxide (MgO) forms when the metal burns in air. (a) If 1-25 9 of MgO contains 0.754 g of Mg, what is the mass ratio of

Vsevolod [243]

Answer:

Explanation:

a )

1.25 g MgO contains .754 g of Mg .Rest will be O

so oxide = 1.25 - .754 = 0.496 g

ratio of magnesium to oxide = .754/.496 = 1.52

b) 1.25 g of MgO contains .754 g of Mg

534 g of MgO contains .754 x 534 / 1.25 g = 322.11 g

Calculate the volume of one mole of a gas at 1.00 atm pressure and 0 °C.

N76 [4]

Answer:

Solution:-

The gas is in the standard temperature and pressure condition i.e. at S.T.P

Therefore,

=22.4dm

As given that the expansion is isothermal and reversible

∴ΔU=0

Now from first law of thermodynamics,

ΔU=q+w

∵ΔU=0

∴q=–w

Given that the heat is absorbed.

∴q=1000cal

⇒w=−q=−1000cal

Now,

Work done in a reversible isothermal expansion is given by-

w=−nRTln(

)

Given:-

T=0℃=273K

n=1 mol

∴1000=−nRTln(

)

⇒1000=−1×2.303×2×273×log(
