Answer:

Part a: limiting reactant MnO₂

Part b: 12.43 g of Zn(OH)₂

Explanation:

Part a

Data given:

mass of Zn = 37.0 g

mass of MnO₂ = 21.5 g

Limiting reactant = ?

Given Reaction

Zn(s) + 2 MnO₂(s) + H₂O(l) ---------->Zn(OH)₂(s) + Mn₂O₃(s)

To determine the limiting reactant first we will look at the reaction

Zn(s) + 2 MnO₂(s) + H₂O(l) ---------->Zn(OH)₂(s) + Mn₂O₃(s)

1 mol 2 mol

Convert moles to mass

molar mass of Zn = 65.4 g/mol

Mass of MnO₂ = 55 + 2 (16) = 55 + 32 = 87 g/mol

So,

Zn(s) + 2 MnO₂(s) + H₂O(l) ----------> Zn(OH)₂(s) + Mn₂O₃(s)

1 mol (65.4 g/mol) 2 mol (87 g/mol)

65 g 174 g

So its clear from the reaction that 65 g Zn react with 174 g of MnO₂.

now if we look at the given amounts the amount MnO₂ is less then the amount of Zn but in actual calculation amount of MnO₂ is more then amount of zinc.

So, for MnO₂ if we calculate the needed amount of zinc

So apply unity formula

65 g Zn react ≅ 174 g of MnO₂

X g of Zn ≅ 21.5 g of MnO₂

Do cross multiplication

X g Zn react = 65 g x 21.5 g / 174 g

X g of Zn ≅ 8.032 g

So, 8.032 g of zinc will react out of 37.0 grams. the remaining will be in excess.

So MnO₂ will be consumed completely an it will be limiting reactant.

____________

part b

Data given:

mass of Zn = 37.0 g

mass of MnO₂ = 21.5 g

Mass of Zn(OH)₂ produced = ?

Given Reaction

Zn(s) + 2 MnO₂(s) + H₂O(l) ---------->Zn(OH)₂(s) + Mn₂O₃(s)

Solution:

As from the part A we come to know that MnO₂ is limiting reactant, so the amount of Zn(OH)₂ will depend on the amount of MnO₂.

So first we convert mass of MnO₂ to moles

Formula Used

no. of moles = mass in grams / molar mass

Mass of MnO₂ = 55 + 2 (16)

Mass of MnO₂ = 55 + 32 = 87 g/mol

Put values in the above equation

no. of moles = 21.5 g / 87 g/mol

no. of moles = 0.25 moles

Now,

Look at the reaction

Zn(s) + 2 MnO₂(s) + H₂O(l) ---------->Zn(OH)₂(s) + Mn₂O₃(s)

2 mol 1 mol

So its clear from the reaction that 2 mole of MnO₂ gives 1 mole of Zn(OH)₂

then how many moles of Zn(OH)₂ will be produce by 0.25 moles of MnO₂

So.

apply unity formula

2 mol of MnO₂ ≅ 1 mole of Zn(OH)₂

0.25 moles of MnO₂ ≅ X mole of Zn(OH)₂

Do cross multiplication

X mole of Zn(OH)₂ = 1 mole x 0.25 mol x / 2 mol

X mole of Zn(OH)₂ ≅ 0.125

Now Conver moles of Zn(OH)₂ to mass

Formula used

mass in grams = no. of moles x molar mass

Molar mass of Zn(OH)₂

Molar mass of Zn(OH)₂ = 65.4 + 2 (16 + 1)

Molar mass of Zn(OH)₂ = 65.4 + 2 (17)

Molar mass of Zn(OH)₂ = 65.4 + 34 = 99.4 g/mol

Put values in above equation

mass in grams = 0.125 mol x 99.4 g/mol

mass in grams = 12.43 g

So,

12.43 g of Zn(OH)₂ will be produce.

What is the relationship between temperature and kinetic energy?

m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

Kinetic energy is the energy that an object has because of its motion. The molecules in a substance have a range of kinetic energies because they don't all move at the same speed. As a substance absorbs heat the particles move faster so the average kinetic energy and therefore the temperature increases.

Elle wanted to test how temperature affects the rate of evaporation. She had three setups:

Pie

Answer:

Temperature

Explanation:

Here the factor that Elle is controlling is the temperature. So temperature here is the independent variable and the dependent variable is the rate of evaporation of water. Independent variable is controlled during the experiment setup and the outcome of the dependent variable depends on the independent variable.

The following thermochemical equation is for the reaction of Fe 3 O 4 (s) with hydrogen (g) to form iron and water vapor Fe 3 O

Mila [183]

Answer:

41.3kJ of heat is absorbed

Explanation:

Based in the reaction:

Fe₃O₄(s) + 4H₂(g) → 3Fe(s) + 4H₂O(g) ΔH = 151kJ

1 mole of Fe3O4 reacts with 4 moles of H₂, 151kJ are absorbed.

63.4g of Fe₃O₄ (Molar mass: 231.533g/mol) are:

63.4g Fe₃O₄ × (1mol / 231.533g) = 0.274moles of Fe₃O₄

These are the moles of Fe₃O₄ that react. As 1 mole of Fe₃O₄ in reaction absorb 151kJ, 0.274moles absorb:

0.274moles of Fe₃O₄ × (151kJ / 1 mole Fe₃O₄) =

<h3>41.3kJ of heat is absorbed</h3>

1. What do producers do, and what is another name for them?

Neko [114]

Producers are the foundation of every food web in every ecosystem—they occupy what is called the first tropic level of the food web. The second trophic level consists of primary consumers—the herbivores, or animals that eat plants. At the top level are secondary consumers—the carnivores and omnivores who eat the primary consumers. Ultimately, decomposers break down dead organisms, returning vital nutrients to the soil, and restarting the cycle. Another name for producers is autotrophs, which means “self-nourishers.” There are two kinds of autotrophs. The most common are photoautotrophs—producers that carry out photosynthesis. Trees, grasses, and shrubs are the most important terrestrial photoautotrophs. In most aquatic ecosystems, including lakes and oceans, algae are the most important photoautotrophs.
