Answer:

When one reactant is in excess, there will always be some left over. The other reactant becomes a limiting factor and controls how much of each product is produced. While using excess reactants can help to increase percentage yields, this is at the expense of atom economy.

1) How many moles are there in 4.0 grams of FeF3?

Alex

Answer: 0.035 moles FeF3 or 3.5x10-² moles FeF3

Explanation: 1 mole of FeF3 is equal to its molar mass ( 113g FeF3)

4.0g FeF3 x 1 mole FeF3 / 113 g FeF3 = 0.035 moles of FeF3

Carbon dioxide in the atmosphere can be reduced by _.*

pychu [463]

Answer:

As the use of plants as carbon sinks can be undone by events such as wildfires, the long-term reliability of these approaches has been questioned. Carbon dioxide that has been removed from the atmosphere can also be stored in the Earth's crust by injecting it into the subsurface, or in the form of insoluble carbonate salts (mineral sequestration).

What mass of butane in grams is necessary to produce 1.5×103 kj of heat what mass of co2 is produced?

kari74 [83]

The heat of reaction (i.e. combustion) of butane ( $C_{4} H_{10}$ ) when reacted with oxygen ( $O_{2}$ )  is -2658 kJ/mol butane, and the chemical reaction is given by:

$C_{4} H_{10}$ + $\frac{13}{2} O_{2}$ ---> $4 CO_{2}$ + $5 H_{2}O$

The mass of butane required in the reaction is based on the heat produced by the reaction, which is given to be -1,500 kJ. The minus sign is added because the reaction releases heat (exothermic), which means that the products are in a "lower energy state" than the reactants.

Dividing this with the heat of reaction per mole of butane reacted would give the number of moles butane required. Then, multiplying the answer with the molar mass of butane which is 58 grams/mole, will give the mass of butane required.

Moles of butane = [(-1,500 kJ)/(-2658 kJ/mol butane)]
Moles of butane = 0.5643 moles butane

Mass of butane  = 0.5643 moles butane * 58 grams/mol butane
Mass of butane = 32.73 grams butane

The mass of carbon dioxide ( $CO_{2}$ ) can be determined by multiplying the moles of butane ( $C_{4} H_{10}$ ) with the mole ratio of ( $CO_{2}$ ) produced to the ( $C_{4} H_{10}$ ) reacted, and then with the molar mass of ( $CO_{2}$ ), which is 44 grams/mole.

Mass of carbon dioxide produced
= 0.5643 moles butane * [4 moles $CO_{2}$ / 1 mole $C_{4} H_{10}$ ] * 44 grams/mole $CO_{2}$

Mass of carbon dioxide produced
= 99.32 grams $CO_{2}$

Thus, the mass of butane required is 32.73 grams, and the mass of carbon dioxide produced from the reaction of this amount of butane is 99.32 grams.

Use the periodic table and example bond table to answer the question.

lyudmila [28]

In keeping with the general trends, K-Br will have the smallest bond energy. The bond energy refers to the energy that keeps the atoms in a bond together.

<h3>What is bond energy?</h3>

Bond energy is the energy that is required to hold atoms together in a bond. This energy must also be supplied when the atoms are to be separated.

We have the bond energies of each of the bons in the question, we have to note that the the smallest value of bond energy is Na-Br hence in keeping with the general trends, K-Br will have the smallest bond energy.
