(c) How many sulfur dioxide molecules are formed in part (b)?arrow_forwardYou know that chemical A reacts with chemical B. You react 10.0 g A with 10.0 g B. What information do you need to determine the amount of product that will be produced? Explain.arrow_forwardYou have seven closed containers, each with equal masses of chlorine gas (Cl2) . You add 10.0 g of sodium to the first sample, 20.0 g of sodium to the second sample, and so on (adding 70.0 g of sodium to the seventh sample). Sodium and chlorine react to form sodium chloride according to the equation 2Na(s)+Cl22NaCl(s) After each reaction is complete, you collect and measure the amount of sodium chloride formed. A graph of your results is shown below. Answer the following questions: a. Explain the shape of the graph. b. Calculate the mass of NaCl formed when 20.0 g of sodium is used. c.

- Ammonia can be formed by a direct reaction of nitrogen and hydrogen. N2(g) + 3 H2(g) 2 NH3(g) A tiny portion of the starting mixture is represented by the diagram, where the blue circles represent N and the white circles represent H. Which of these represents the product mixture? For the reaction of the given sample, which of these statements is true? (a) N2 is the limiting reactant. (b) H2 is the limiting reactant. (c) NH, is the limiting reactant. (d) No reactant is limiting: they are present in the correct stoichiometric ratio.arrow_forwardYou are making cookies and are missing a key ingredient—eggs. You have plenty of the other ingredients, except that you have only 1.33 cups of butter and no eggs. You note that the recipe calls for 2 cups of butter and 3 eggs (plus the other ingredients) to make 6 dozen cookies. You telephone a friend and have him bring you some eggs. How many eggs do you need? If you use all the butter (and get enough eggs), how many cookies can you make? fortunately, your mend hangs up before you tell him how mans eggs you need, then he arrives, he has a surprise for you—to save time he has broken the eggs in a bowl for you. You ask him how many he brought, and he replies, All of them, but I spilled some on the way over. You weigh the eggs and find that they weigh 62.1 g. Assuming that an average egg weighs 34.21 g: How much hunger is needed to react with all the eggs? How many cookies can you make? Which will you have left over, eggs or butter? How much is kit over? Relate this question to the concepts of chemical stoichiometry.arrow_forward4.110 Write the balanced chemical equation lot the combustion of ethane, C2H6, and answer these questions. (a) How many molecules of oxygen would combine with 14 molecules of ethane in this reaction? (b) If 13.0 mol of oxygen is consumed in a reaction, how many moles of water are produced? (e) How many grams of ethane are burned if 4.201022 molecules of CO2 are produced?arrow_forward
- 4.14 The combustion of liquid chloroethylene, C2H3Cl, yields carbon dioxide, steam, and hydrogen chloride gas. (a) Write a balanced equation for the reaction. (b) How many moles of oxygen are required to react with 35.00 g of chloroethylene? (c) If 125.00 g of chloroethylene reacts with an excess of oxygen, how many grams of each product are formed?arrow_forward3.90 Pyrrole has the molecular formula C4H5N. When pyrrole reacts with O2, the products are CO2, H2O, and N2. Write a balanced equation for this reaction.arrow_forwardConsider the balanced chemical equation :math>A+5B3C+4D en equal masses of A and B are reacted, which is limiting, A or B? Justify your choice. If the molar mass of A is greater than the molar mass of B, then A must be limiting. If the molar mass of A is less than the molar mass of B, then A must be limiting. If the molar mass of A is greater than the molar mass of B, then B must be limiting. If the molar mass of A is less than the molar mass of B, then B must be limiting.arrow_forward
