Answer:

That means Cu2O is limiting reagent and C is excess reagent

Explanation:

Based on the reaction, 1 mole of Cu2O reacts per mole of C. The ratio of reaction is 1:1.

To solve this question we need to convert the mass of each reactant to moles. The reactant with the lower amount of moles is limiting reactant and the excess reactant is the reactant with the higher number of moles.

<em>Moles Cu2O -Molar mass: 143.09 g/mol-</em>

114.2g Cu2O * (1mol / 143.09g) = 0.798 moles Cu2O

<em>Moles C -Molar mass: 12.01g/mol-</em>

11.1g C * (1mol / 12.01g) = 0.924 moles C

<h3>That means Cu2O is limiting reagent and C is excess reagent</h3>

with an excess of oxygen gas according to the following chemical equation. 4 P 502 > 2 P2Os What mass of P2O5 can be produced

MArishka [77]

Answer:

394.76g

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of Phosphorus = 172.1g

Unknown:

Mass of P₂O₅ = ?

Solution:

We should work from the known specie to the unknown in this problem. The limiting reactant is the reactant in short supply and it determines the extent of the reaction. This is the given phosphorus.

Oxygen is in the excess.

The balanced reaction equation:

4P + 5O₂ → 2P₂O₅

let us find the number of moles of phosphorus first,

Number of moles of phosphorus = $\frac{mass}{molar mass}$
