Consider the reaction of ruthenium(III) iodide with carbon dioxide and silver. RuI3 (s) 5CO (g) 3Ag (s) Ru(CO)5 (s) 3AgI (s) Det

ermine the limiting reactant in a mixture containing 169 g of RuI3, 58.0 g of CO, and 96.2 g of Ag. Calculate the maximum mass (in grams) of ruthenium pentacarbonyl, Ru(CO)5, that can be produced in the reaction. The limiting reactant is:

Answer:

71.6 g of Ru(CO)₅ is the maximum mass that can be formed.

The limiting reactant is Ag

Explanation:

The reaction is:

RuI₃ (s) + 5CO (g) + 3Ag (s) → Ru(CO)₅ (s) + 3AgI (s)

Firstly we determine the moles of each reactant:

169 g . 1mol /481.77g = 0.351 moles of RuI₃

58g . 1mol /28g = 2.07 moles of CO

96.2g . 1mol/ 107.87g = 0.892 moles

Certainly, the excess reactant is CO, therefore, the limiting would be Ag or RuI₃.

3 moles of Ag react to 1 mol of RuI₃

Then 0.892 moles of Ag may react to (0.892 . 1) /3 = 0.297 moles

We have 0.351 moles of iodide and we need 0.297 moles, so this is an excess. In conclussion, Silver (Ag) is the limiting.

1 mol of RuI₃ react to 3 moles of Ag

Then, 0.351 moles of RuI₃ may react to (0.351 . 3) /1 = 1.053 moles

It's ok, because we do not have enough Ag. We only have 0.892 moles and we need 1.053.

5 moles of CO react to 3 moles of Ag

Then, 2.07 moles of CO may react to (2.07 . 3) /5 = 1.242 moles of Ag.

This calculate confirms the theory.

Now, we determine the maximum mass of Ru(CO)₅

3 moles of of Ag can produce 1 mol of Ru(CO)₅

Then 0.892 moles may produce (0.892 . 1) /3 = 0.297 moles

We convert moles to mass → 0.297 mol . 241.07g /mol = 71.6 g

Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer:

See explanation.

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, since we know the heat of reaction per gram of reactant and we should know the total energy of reaction, but it is not there, we are going to assume it is 1200 J as usual in these problems, so you can change it to whatever your given heat is.

In such a way, we set up the math as shown below:

m= 1200J*\frac{1kJ}{1000J}*\frac{1g}{31.0kJ}

Which results:

m=0.0387g

Best regards!
