Answer:
Explanation:
Pair 2.50g of O₂ and 2.50g of N₂
The atoms sample with the largest number of moles since the masses are the same would be the one with lowest molar mass according the the equation below:
Number of moles =
Atomic mass of O = 16g and N = 14g
Molar mass of O₂ = 16 x 2 = 32gmol⁻¹
Molar mass of N₂ = 14 x 2 = 28gmol⁻¹
Number of moles of O₂ = = 0.078mole
Number of moles of N₂ = = 0.089mole
We see that N₂ has the largest number of moles
We need to first come up with a balanced equation:
→
We know that the molar ratio of hydrogen to oxygen to water now is 4:1:2.
Converting the amount of grams given to moles is as follows:
Hydrogen:
Oxygen:
We know now that the limiting reactant is oxygen. We can then know that the number of moles of water are produced are double the number of moles of oxygen used due to the ratio that we established at the beginning - 4:1:2.
So we now can use 6.25 moles of water as the amount produced.
Then we convert moles of water to grams:
Now we know that there are 112.59g of water produced when we start with 50g of hydrogen and 50g of water.
