The balanced chemical equation for the above reaction is as follows;
2Ca + O₂ --> 2CaO
stoichiometry of Ca to O₂ is 2:1
this means that 2 mol of Ca reacts with 1 mol of O₂.
If O₂ is the limiting reactant,
4 mol of O₂ should react with (4x2) - 8 mol of Ca
however only 7.43 mol of Ca is present. Therefore Ca is the limiting reactant.
7.43 mol of Ca reacts with - 7.43/2 = 3.715 mol of O₂
therefore there's excess O₂₂ remaining after the reaction
Since Ca is the limiting reactant, it is fully used up in the reaction and there is no Ca remaining after the reaction is completed.
Answer:
low
Explanation:
We were informed in the question that the student had incorrectly recorded the mass of cup + sample as 2.20 g but inadvertently used 2.00 g in the calculations.
This error will cause a slight decrease in the mass of water and ultimately decrease the number of moles of water in the hydrate.
What i am saying is that the number of moles of water obtained in the calculation will be artificially low.
