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

ale4655 [162]

Answer:

The answer is "6.52 kg and 13.1 kg"

Explanation:

For point a:  

Actual\ yield = 6.52 \ kg\\\\Percent \ yield= 66\%\\\\Percent \ yield = \frac{Actual \ yield}{Theoretical\ yield} \times 100 \%\\\\Theoretical\ yield \ of \ MnO_2 = \frac{Actual \ yield}{Percent \ yield} \times 100\%\\\\=\frac{6.52 \ kg}{66 \%} \times 100\% =9.88 \ kg\\\\

Equation:  

3MnCO_3 +O_2 \longrightarrow 2MnO_2 + 2CO_2\\\\

Calculating the amount of MnCO_3

= 9.88 \ kg \times \frac{1000 \ g}{1 \ kg} \times \frac{1 \ mol \ MnO_2}{86.94 \ g} \times \frac{2 \ Mol \ MnCO_3}{2 \ mol \ MnO_2} \times \frac{114.95\ g}{1 \ mol \ MnCO_3 }\times \frac{1\ kg}{1000\ g}\\\\=  13.1 \ kg

For point b:

Actual\ yield = 4.0 \ kg\\\\Percent\ yield=97.0\%\\\\Percent \ yield = \frac{Actual \ yield}{Theoretical \ yield} \times 100 \% \\\\Theoretical \ yield\  of\  Mn = \frac{Actual \ yield}{Percent \ yield} \times 100\%\\\\

=\frac{4.0 \ kg}{97.0\%} \times 100\% =4.12 \ kg

Equation:  

3MnO_2 +4AL \longrightarrow 3Mn + 2AL_2O_3\\\\

Calculating the amount of MnO_2:  

= 4.12 \ kg \times \frac{1000 \ g}{1 \ kg} \times \frac{1 \ mol \ Mn}{54.94 \ g} \times \frac{3 \ Mol \ MnO_2}{3 \ mol \ Mn} \times \frac{86.94 \ g}{1 \ mol \ MnO_2 }\\\\=  6516 \ g \\\\=6.52 \ kg\\\\

0.005 molar Ca(OH)2 solution is used in the titration.calculate the pH oh solution
Rus_ich [418]

Ca(OH)₂: strong base

pOH = a . M

a = valence ( amount of OH⁻)

M = concentration

Ca(OH)₂ ⇒ Ca²⁺ + 2OH⁻ (2 valence)

so:

pOH = 2 x 0.005

pOH = 0.01

pH = 14 - 0.01 = 13.99

Is this example of a direct proportion or an inverse proportion?
ivanzaharov [21]

Answer:

Inverse proportion occurs when one value increases and the other decreases. For example, more workers on a job would reduce the time to complete the task. They are inversely proportional.
