112 g of aluminum carbide react with 174 g water to produce methane and aluminum hydroxide in the reaction shown below.

dolphi86 [110]

<u>Answer:</u> 4.999 moles of excess reactant will be left over.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Limiting reagent is defined as the reagent which is completely consumed in the reaction and limits the formation of the product.

Excess reagent is defined as the reagent which is left behind after the completion of the reaction.

The number of moles is defined as the ratio of the mass of a substance to its molar mass.

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$ .....(1)

Given mass of aluminium carbide = 112 g

Molar mass of aluminium carbide = 143.96 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1:

$\text{Moles of aluminium carbide}=\frac{112g}{143.96g/mol}=0.778mol$

For the given chemical reaction:

$2Al_4C_3(s)+12H_2O(l)\rightarrow 3CH_4(g)+4Al(OH)_3(s)$

By the stoichiometry of the reaction:

2 moles of aluminium carbide reacts with 12 moles of water

So, 0.778 moles of aluminium carbide will react with = $\frac{12}{2}\times 0.778=4.668 mol$ of water

Given mass of water = 174 g

Molar mass of water = 18 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1:

$\text{Moles of water}=\frac{174g}{18g/mol}=9.667mol$

Moles of excess reactant (water) left = 9.667 - 4.668 = 4.999 moles

Hence, 4.999 moles of excess reactant will be left over.

How to do dots and cross diagrams

Likurg_2 [28]

Answer:

Draw circles to represent the electron shell of each atom overlapping the circles where the atoms are bonded. Add dots to represent the outer electrons of one type of atom (H). Add crosses to represent the outer electrons of the other type of atom (Cl). Make sure the electrons are always in pairs.

What is mole-to-mole stoichiometry.

borishaifa [10]

Answer:

https://youtu.be/3zmeVamEsWI

Explanation:

It is defined as the ratio of moles of one substance to the moles of another substance in a balanced equation. ... Mole ratios are the central step in performing stoichiometry because they allow us to convert moles of one substance to moles of another substance.
