It’s basically an educated guess, but not a far out stretched guess like say you were testing which baby birds could fly, you could make a guess by seeing how they work & conclude your answer. hope this helps!

Consider the reaction pathway graph below.

Alex17521 [72]

Hello!

The reaction that the graph represents is A. Exothermic because Hrxn=-167 kJ

To calculate Hrxn we apply the following equation:

$Hrxn=Hproducts-Hreagents=-625kJ-(-458kJ)=-167kJ$

Looking at the graph, and at the result of the calculations, we can see that the enthalpy of the products is lower than the enthalpy of the reagents, because the sign is negative. That means that the reaction releases energy in the form of heat and that the reaction is exothermic.

Have a nice day!

Calculate the maximum numbers of moles and grams of H₂S that can form when 158 g of aluminum sulfide reacts with 131 g of water:

Phantasy [73]

What is Chemical Reaction?

A chemical reaction is the chemical transformation of one set of chemical components into another.

Main Content

Mass of aluminium sulfide is 158g

Mass of water is 131g

The chemical reaction: $Al_{2}S_{3} +H_{2}O _\to Al(OH)_{3} + H_{2}S$

First, balance the chemical equation

$Al_{2}S_{3} + 6H_{2}O \to 2Al(OH)_{3} + 3H_{2}S$

Aluminium sulfide has a molar mass of 150.16 g/mol and water has a molar mass of 18.02 g/mol. As a result, the moles of aluminum sulfide are computed as follows:

$n_{Al_{2}S_{3} } = \frac{Mass}{Molar mass}\\n_{Al_{2} S_{3} } = \frac{158g}{150.16g/mol} \\n_{Al_{2}S_{3} }=1.05 mol$

From the chemical reaction , the ratio of molar is 3mol $H_{2}S/1 mol Al_{2}S_{3}.$ So, the moles of hydrogen sulfide are:

$n_{H_{2} O} =\frac{131g}{18.02g/mol}$

= 7.26mol

From the chemical reaction, the molar ratio is 3 mol $H_{2}S/6$ mol $H_{2}O.$ So, the moles of hydrogen sulfide are:

Moles of $H_{2}S$ formed = 7.26 mol $H_{2}O \times \frac{3 mol H_{2}S }{6 mol H_{2} O} }$

Th liming reactant is $Al_{2}S_{3}$ beacuse the mass of $Al_{2}S_{3}$ forms less product than water. Therefore, the maximum number of moles of $H_{2}S$ is 3.15 mol. We know that molar mass of $H_{2}S$ is 34.10g/mol. So, the maximum mass of $H_{2}S$ formed is,

$m_{H_{2}S } = n_{H_{2}S } \times$ Molar mass of $H_{2}S$

= 3.15 mol $\times$ 34.10g/mol

= 107.4g

Now, multiplying the number of moles of $Al_{2}S_{3}$ by the molar ratio between $Al_2S_3$ and $H_2O$ which is 6mol $H_2O/1mol$ $Al_2S_3$ we get the number of moles of $H_2O$ reacted.
