Explanation:
Given parameters:
Mass of aluminium oxide = 3.87g
Mass of water = 5.67g
Unknown:
Limiting reactant = ?
Solution:
The limiting reactant is the reactant in short supply in a chemical reaction. We need to first write the chemical equation and convert the masses given to the number of moles.
Using the number of moles, we can ascertain the limiting reactants;
Al₂O₃ + 3H₂O → 2Al(OH)₃
Number of moles;
Number of moles =
molar mass of Al₂O₃ = (2x27) + 3(16) = 102g/mole
number of moles = = 0.04mole
molar mass of H₂O = 2(1) + 16 = 18g/mole
number of moles = = 0.32mole
From the reaction equation;
1 mole of Al₂O₃ reacted with 3 moles of H₂O
0.04 mole of Al₂O₃ will react with 3 x 0.04 mole = 0.12 mole of H₂O
But we were given 0.32 mole of H₂O and this is in excess of amount required.
This shows that Al₂O₃ is the limiting reactant
Explanation:
Assuming that moles of nitrogen present are 0.227 and moles of hydrogen are 0.681. And, initially there are 0.908 moles of gas particles.
This means that, for
moles of + moles of
= 0.908 mol
Since, 2 moles of =
= 0.454 mol
As it is known that the ideal gas equation is PV = nRT
And, as the temperature and volume were kept constant, so we can write
=
=
=
= 5.2 atm
Therefore, we can conclude that the expected pressure after the reaction was completed is 5.2 atm.
