Explanation:
Given parameters:
Mass of aluminium oxide = 3.87g
Mass of water = 5.67g
Unknown:
Limiting reactant = ?
Solution:
The limiting reactant is the reactant in short supply in a chemical reaction. We need to first write the chemical equation and convert the masses given to the number of moles.
Using the number of moles, we can ascertain the limiting reactants;
Al₂O₃ + 3H₂O → 2Al(OH)₃
Number of moles;
Number of moles =
molar mass of Al₂O₃ = (2x27) + 3(16) = 102g/mole
number of moles = = 0.04mole
molar mass of H₂O = 2(1) + 16 = 18g/mole
number of moles = = 0.32mole
From the reaction equation;
1 mole of Al₂O₃ reacted with 3 moles of H₂O
0.04 mole of Al₂O₃ will react with 3 x 0.04 mole = 0.12 mole of H₂O
But we were given 0.32 mole of H₂O and this is in excess of amount required.
This shows that Al₂O₃ is the limiting reactant
Answer: Balanced molecular equation :
Total ionic equation:
The net ionic equation:
Explanation:
Complete ionic equation : In complete ionic equation, all the substances that are strong electrolyte are present in an aqueous state as ions.
Net ionic equation : In the net ionic equations, we are not include the spectator ions in the equations.
Spectator ions : The ions present on reactant and product side which do not participate in a reactions. The same ions present on both the sides.
When sodium phosphate and zinc acetate then it gives zinc phosphate and sodium acetate as product.
The balanced molecular equation will be,
The total ionic equation in separated aqueous solution will be,
In this equation, and are the spectator ions.
By removing the spectator ions from the balanced ionic equation, we get the net ionic equation.
The net ionic equation will be,
