Answer:

a. Zinc is the limiting reactant.

b. m_{ZnBr_2}^{by\ Zn}=162.61gZnBr_2

c. m_{Br_2}^{leftover}=6.6g

Explanation:

Hello there!

a. In this case, when zinc metal reacts with bromine, the following chemical reaction takes place:

Zn+Br_2\rightarrow ZnBr_2

Thus, since zinc and bromine react in a 1:1 mole ratio, we can compute their reacting moles to identify the limiting reactant:

n_{Zn}=47.2g*\frac{1mol}{65.38g} =0.722molZn\\\\n_{Br_2}=122g*\frac{1mol}{159.8g} =0.763molBr_2

Thus, since zinc has the fewest moles we infer it is the limiting reactant.

b. Here, we compute the grams of zinc bromide via both reactants:

m_{ZnBr_2}^{by\ Zn}=0.722molZn*\frac{1molZnBr_3}{1molZn} *\frac{225.22gZnBr_2}{1molZnBr_2} =162.61gZnBr_2\\\\m_{ZnBr_2}^{by\ Br_2}=0.763molBr_2*\frac{1molZnBr_3}{1molBr_2} *\frac{225.22gZnBr_2}{1molZnBr_2} =171.95gZnBr_2

That is why zinc is the limiting reactant, as it yields the fewest moles of zinc bromide product.

c. Here, since just 0.722 mol of bromine would react, we compute the corresponding mass:

m_{Br_2}^{reacted}=0.722molBr_2*\frac{159.8gBr_2}{1molBr_2} =115.4gBr_2

Thus, the leftover of bromine is:

m_{Br_2}^{leftover}=122g-115.4g\\\\m_{Br_2}^{leftover}=6.6g

Best regards!

The atomic weight of boron is reported as 10.81, yet no atom of boron has the mass of 10.81 amu. explain
aivan3 [116]
<span>Boron has a lot of different isotopes, most of which having a very short half life (ranging from 770 milliseconds for Boron-8 down to 150 yoctoseconds for boron-7). But the two isotopes Boron-10 and Boron-11 are stable with about 80.1% of the naturally occurring boron being boron-11 and the remaining 19.9% being boron-10. The weighted average weight of those 2 isotopes has the value of 10.81. The reason they use the average mass of an element for it's atomic weight is because elements in nature are rarely single isotopes. The weighted average allows us to easily compare relative number of atoms of one element against relative numbers of atoms of another element assuming that the experimenters are getting isotope ratios close to their natural ratios.</span>

34kurt

Answer:

A carboxyl group (COOH) is a functional group consisting of a carbonyl group (C=O) with a hydroxyl group (O-H) attached to the same carbon atom. Carboxyl groups have the formula -C(=O)OH, usually written as -COOH or CO2H.

Chemistry help!!
Scrat [10]

The student originally has 252 grams of water in this experiment.

LAW OF CONSERVATION OF MASS:

  • The law of conservation of mass explains that matter (mass) can neither be created nor destroyed but can be changed from one form to another.

  • This means that in a chemical reaction, the sum of the masses of the reactants must equate to the total mass of product(s).

  • According to this question, a student conducts an experiment to separate water into hydrogen and oxygen. The student collects 28.0 g of hydrogen and 224.0 g of oxygen.

  • Since hydrogen and oxygen are the constituent elements of water, the sum of their masses must equate the mass of water.

  • Therefore, 224g of oxygen + 28g of hydrogen = 252g of water.
