Answer:

a) O2 is the limiting reactant

b) 5.75 grams P4O10

c) 5.79 grams P4O6

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of P4 = 5.77 grams

Mass of O2 = 5.77 grams

Molar mass of P4 = 123.90 g/mol

Molar mass O2 = 32.0 g/mol

Step 2: The balanced equation

P4 + 3O2 → P4O6

Step 3: Calculate moles of P4

Moles P4 = mass P4 / molar mass P4

Moles P4 = 5.77 grams / 123.90 g/mol

Moles P4 = 0.0466 moles

Step 4: Calculate moles O2

Moles O2 = mass O2 / molar mass O2

Moles O2 = 5.77 grams / 32.0 g/mol

Moles O2 = 0.1803 moles

Step 5: Calculate limiting reactant

P4 is the limiting reactant in this reaction. It will completely be consumed (0.0466 moles). O2 is in excess, there will react 3*0.0466 = 0.1398 moles

There will remain 0.1803 - 0.1398 = 0.0405 moles O2

Step 6: Calculate the amount of P4O6

For 1 mol P4 we'll have 1 mol P4O6

For 0.0466 moles P4 we'll have 0.0466 moles P4O6

Step 7: The balanced equatio

P4O6 + 2O2 → P4O10

We have 0.0466 moles P4O6 and 0.0405 moles O2

Step 8: Calculate the limiting reactant

For 1 mol P4O6 we need 2 moles O2 to produce 1 mol P4O10

O2 is the limiting reactant. It will completely be consumed (0.0405 moles)

P4O6 is in excess. There will react 0.0405/2 = 0.02025 moles

There will remain 0.0466 - 0.02025 = 0.02635 moles P4O6

This is 0.02635 * 219.88 g/mol = 5.79 grams P4O6

Step 9: Calculate moles and mass of P4O10

For 1 mol P4O6 we need 2 moles O2 to produce 1 mol P4O10

For 0.0405 moles O2 we'll have 0.02025 moles P4O10

This is 0.02025 * 283.89 g/mol = 5.75 grams P4O10

How many grams are in .11 moles of Cu
kodGreya [7K]

Answer:

m= 6.9905 = 7 g

Explanation:

The formula is m= M.n

m= mass (g), M= Molar mass (g/mole), n= moles (moles)

Molar mass of Cu is 63.55

=) m= 63.55*0.11

   m= 6.9905 = 7 g

A. By referring to forces at work in the atomic nucleus, how can you
qwelly [4]

There is an unstable ratio of protons and neutrons. Because protons are positively charged but neutrons have no charge, an increase in the number of protons means there needs to be an increase in the number of neutrons to "bind" the nucleus together. This is because like charges repel, so the protons will repel each other, and if there aren't enough neutrons to act as "glue" to hold the nucleus together, the nucleus will break apart.

CARBOHYDRATES are found primarily in plant-based foods and are a major source of energy in the body (4 kcals per gram). If you c
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer:

The 200 grams of carbohydrate would this convert to 800 kcals in a day.

Explanation:

Carbohydrates are the source of energy. The metabolism of 1 gram of carbohydrates gives 4 kcals of energy.

If 200 grams of carbohydrate is consumed in a day, then the energy provided by it is:-

Energy\ provided\ by\ the\ carbohydrate = 200\times 4\ kcals=800\ kcals

<u>The 200 grams of carbohydrate would this convert to 800 kcals in a day.</u>

Which statement explains the relationship between the amount of energy it takes to break a bond and the amount of energy release
ad-work [718]

<em>The statement that gives the relationship between energy needed in breaking a bond and the one that is released after breakin</em>g is

The amount of energy it takes to break a bond is always less than the amount of energy released when the bond is formed.

  • Bond energy can be regarded as amount of energy that is required in  breaking a particular bond.

  • For a bond to be broken Energy will be  added and when a bond is broken there will be release of energy

  • Bond breaking can be regarded as endothermic process, it is regarded as endothermic  because there is a lot of energy required to be absorbed.

  • Where ever a bond is broken, there must be formation of another bond

  • Bond forming on the other hand can be regarded as exothermic process, since there is a release of  releases energy.

Therefore, more energy is required in breaking of bond compare to energy released after breaking of bond.
