Answer:

oxygen is limiting reactant

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of phosphorus = 25.0 g

Mass of oxygen = 50.0 g

What is limiting reactant ?

Solution:

Chemical equation:

P₄   +  5O₂       →      P₄O₁₀

Number of moles of P₄:

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Number of moles = 25.0 g/ 123.89 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.20 mol

Number of moles of  O₂:

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Number of moles = 50.0 g/ 32 g/mol

Number of moles = 1.56 mol

now we will compare the moles of reactants with product:

        P₄          :            P₄O₁₀

         1           :              1

      0.20       :          0.20

      O₂           :         P₄O₁₀

       5            :         1

     1.56         :        1/5×1.56 = 0.312 mol

Less number of moles of product are formed by the oxygen thus it will act as limiting reactant.

How many grams of NaOH needed to completely neutralize 3L of 1.75M HCL
Sedaia [141]

Answer:

209.98 g of NaOH

Explanation:

We are given;

  • Volume of HCl as 3 L
  • Molarity of HCl as 1.75 M

We are required to calculate the mass of NaOH required to completely neutralize the acid given.

First, we write a  balanced equation for the reaction between NaOH and HCl

That is;

NaOH + HCl → NaCl + H₂O

Second, we determine the number of moles of HCl

Number of moles = Molarity × Volume

                             = 1.75 M × 3 L

                             = 5.25 moles

Third, we use the mole ratio to determine the moles of NaOH

From the reaction,

1 mole of NaOH reacts with 1 mole of HCl

Therefore;

Moles of NaOH = Moles of HCl

                          = 5.25 moles

Fourth, we determine the mass of NaOH

Molar mass of NaOH = 39.997 g/mol

Mass of NaOH = 5.25 moles × 39.997 g/mol

                        = 209.98 g

Thus, 209.98 g of NaOH will completely neutralize 3L of 1.74 M HCl
