Answer:

Explanation:Calcium oxide (CaO), commonly known as quicklime or burnt lime, is a widely used chemical ... Chemical formula. CaO ... Both it and a chemical derivative (calcium hydroxide, of which quicklime is the base anhydride) are important commodity ... The major use of quicklime is in the basic oxygen steelmaking (BOS) process.

When carbon is burned in air, it reacts with oxygen to form carbon dioxide. When 14.4 g of carbon were burned in the presence of
Natasha2012 [34]

When carbon reacts with oxygen it forms CO2. This can depicted by the below equation.

C + O2→ CO2

It has been mentioned that when 14.4 g of C reacts with 53.9 g of O2, then 15.5 g of O2 remains unreacted. <u>This indicates that Carbon is the limiting reagent and hence the amount of CO2 produced is based on the amount of Carbon burnt.</u>

C + O2→ CO2

In the above equation , 1 mole of carbon reacts with 1 mole of O2 to produce 1 mole of CO2.

In this case 14.4 g of Carbon reacts with 53.9 of O2 to produce "x"g of CO2.

<u>No of moles = mass of the substance÷molar mass of the substance</u>

No of moles of carbon = 14.4 /12= 1.2 moles

No of moles of O2 = Mass of reacted O2/Molar mass of O2.

No of moles of O2 = (Total mass of O2 burned - Mass of unreacted O2)/32

No of moles of O2 = (53.9-15.5) ÷ 32 = 1.2 moles.

Hence as already discussed 1 mole of Carbon reacts with 1 mole of O2 to produce 1 mole of CO2. In this case 1.2 moles of carbon reacts with 1.2 moles of O2 to produce 1.2 moles of CO2.

Moles of carbon dioxide = Mass of CO2 produced /Molar mass of CO2

Mass of CO2 produced(x) = Moles of CO2 ×Molar mass of CO2

Mass of CO2 produced(x) = 1.2 x 44 = 52.8 g

<u>Thus 52.8 g of CO2 is produced.</u>

What is the complete ionic equation for NaOHaq plus HCIaq equals H2OI plus NaCIaq?
OverLord2011 [107]

Answer:

Ionic equation:

Na⁺(aq) + OH⁻(aq) + H⁺(aq) + Cl⁻(aq)   →  H₂O(l) + Na⁺(aq) + Cl⁻ (aq)

Explanation:

Chemical equation:

NaOH(aq) + HCl(aq)   →  H₂O(l) + NaCl (aq)

Balanced chemical equation:

NaOH(aq) + HCl(aq)   →  H₂O(l) + NaCl (aq)

Ionic equation:

Na⁺(aq) + OH⁻(aq) + H⁺(aq) + Cl⁻(aq)   →  H₂O(l) + Na⁺(aq) + Cl⁻ (aq)

Net ionic equation:

OH⁻(aq) + H⁺(aq)    →  H₂O(l)

The  Cl⁻(aq)  and Na⁺ (aq) are spectator ions that's why these are not written in net ionic equation. The water can not be splitted into ions because it is present in liquid form.

Spectator ions:

These ions are same in both side of chemical reaction. These ions are cancel out. Their presence can not effect the equilibrium of reaction that's why these ions are omitted in net ionic equation.
