The following Balanced Reaction will take place:

Zn + 2HCl → ZnCl₂ + H₂

In the question, we have 2 moles of Zinc and 3 moles of HCl for this reaction

<u>Amount of HCl required to completely react with 2 moles of Zn:</u>

Since we need 2 moles of HCl for every mole of Zn, we will need 2(2) = 4 moles of HCl for every 2 moles of Zn

<u>Identifying the Limiting Reagent:</u>

But we are only given 3 moles of HCl where we need 4 moles to completely react.

So, since HCl is in less amount, it is the Limiting Reagent

Consider 2H2 + O2 → 2H2O. To produce 1.2 g water, how many grams of H2 are required? Report to the correct number of significant

Elden [556K]

Answer:

0.133 mol (corrected to 3 sig.fig)

Explanation:

Take the atomic mass of H=1.0, and O=16.0,

no. of moles = mass / molar mass

so no. of moles of H2O produced = 1.2 / (1.0x2+16.0)

= 0.0666666 mol

From the equation, the mole ratio of H2:H2O = 2:2 = 1:1,

meaning every 1 mole of H2 reacted gives out 1 mole of water.

So, the no, of moles of H2 required should equal to the no, of moles of H2O produced, which is also 0.0666666 moles.

mass = no. of moles x molar mass

hence,

mass of H2 required = 0.066666666 x (1.0x2)

= 0.133 mol (corrected to 3 sig.fig)

an unknown amount of mercury (ii) oxide was decomposed in the lab. mercury metal was formed and 4.50 l of oxygen gas was release

Assoli18 [71]

The initial weight of mercury oxide in the sample was 59.1 g HgO.

<h3>Steps</h3>

chemical reaction

2HgO ⟶ 2Hg + O₂

the moles of O₂

pV = nRT

n = (pV)/(RT)

Data:

p = 0.970 atm

V = 4.50 L

R = 0.082 06 L·atm·K⁻¹mol⁻¹

T = 390.0 K

Calculation:

n = (0.970 × 4.500)/(0.082 06 × 390.0)

n = 0.1364 mol O₂

the moles of HgO

The molar ratio is 1 mol O₂/2 mol HgO.

Moles of HgO = 0.1364 mol O₂ × (2 mol Hg/1 mol O₂)

Moles of HgO = 0.2728 mol HgO

the mass of HgO

Mass of HgO = 0.2728 mol HgO × (216.59 g HgO/1 mol HgO)

Mass of HgO = 59.1 g HgO

For the creation of various organic mercury compounds and specific inorganic mercury salts, mercury(II) oxide, or HgO, serves as a source of elemental mercury.

This red or yellow crystalline substance is also utilised in mercury batteries and zinc-mercuric oxide electric cells as an electrode (combined with graphite).

<h3>What is the purpose of mercury oxide?</h3>

Mercuric oxide is a colourless, crystalline powder that ranges from yellow to orange-yellow.

It serves as a seed protectant, a pigment, a preservative, and an ingredient in alkaline batteries and cosmetics.

<h3>Is there a combination of mercury oxide?</h3>

The powder form of mercury oxide is dark black or dark brown.
An intimate blend of metallic mercury and mercuric oxide rather than a genuine compound.

To determine the limiting reactant in a chemical reaction, one must know the:.

sveticcg [70]

Answer:

The available amounts of each reactant

Explanation:

The limiting reactant is the reactant that will limit the equation.

For example, I have 2N2 and H2O. In this situation, H2O would be the limiting reactant since there is only one atom, while N2 has two atoms.

Think of it like you're making peanut butter and jelly. You have 50 cans of peanut butter and only 10 jelly. Which means you can only make sandwiches using 10 jars of jelly and 10 jars of peanut butter.
