Answer:

Hydrogen H₂ will be the limiting reagent.

The excess reactant that will be left after the reaction is 3.45 moles.

4.3 moles of water can be produced.

Explanation:

The balanced reation is:

2 H₂ + O₂ → 2 H₂O

By reaction stoichiometry (that is, the relationship between the amount of reagents and products in a chemical reaction), the following amounts of each compound participate in the reaction:

  • H₂: 2 moles
  • O₂: 1 mole
  • H₂O: 2 moles

To determine the limiting reagent, you can use a simple rule of three as follows: if by stoichiometry 1 mole of O₂ reacts with 2 moles of H₂, how much moles of H₂ will be needed if 5.6 moles of O₂ react?

moles of H_{2} =\frac{5.6 moles of O_{2} *2 mole of H_{2} }{1 mole of O_{2}}

moles of H₂= 11.2 moles

But 11.2 moles of H₂ are not available, 4.3 moles are available. Since you have less moles than you need to react with 5.6 moles of O₂, <u><em>hydrogen H₂ will be the limiting reagent</em></u> and oxygen O₂ will be the excess reagent.

Then you can apply the following rules of three:

  • If by reaction stoichiometry 2 moles of H₂ react with 1 mole of O₂, 4.3 moles of H₂ will react with how many moles of O₂?

moles of O_{2} =\frac{1 mole of O_{2} *4.3 mole of H_{2} }{2 mole of O_{2}}

moles of O₂= 2.15 moles

The excess reactant that will be left after the reaction can be calculated as:

5.6 moles - 2.15 moles= 3.45 moles

<u><em>The excess reactant that will be left after the reaction is 3.45 moles.</em></u>

  • If by reaction stoichiometry 2 moles of H₂ produce 2 moles of H₂O, 4.3 moles of H₂ produce how many moles of H₂O?

moles of H_{2}O =\frac{2 moles of H_{2}O *4.3 mole of H_{2} }{2 mole of H_{2}}

moles of H₂O= 4.3 moles

<u><em>4.3 moles of water can be produced.</em></u>

What causes pressure inside an inflated soccer ball?
ioda

Answer:

A

Explanation:

Ball bounces because of the difference in the air pressure on the outside of the ball, and opposite the point of impact, and the pressure inside of the ball. This means that the inside of the ball now has less space to contain the air molecules contained inside the ball, increasing the pressure inside the ball.

A gas mixture at 535.0°C and 109 kPa absolute enters a heat exchanger at a rate of 67.0 m3/hr. The gas leaves the heat exchanger
SVEN [57.7K]

Answer:

the heat rate required to cool down the gas from 535°C until 215°C is -2.5 kW.

Explanation:

assuming ideal gas behaviour:

PV=nRT

therefore

P= 109 Kpa= 1.07575 atm

V= 67 m3/hr = 18.6111 L/s

T= 215 °C = 488 K

R = 0.082 atm L /mol K

n = PV/RT = 109 Kpa = 1.07575 atm * 18.611 L/s /(0.082 atm L/mol K * 488 K)

n= 0.5 mol/s

since the changes in kinetic and potencial energy are negligible, the heat required is equal to the enthalpy change of the gas:

Q= n* Δh = 0.5 mol/s * (- 5 kJ/mol) =2.5 kW
