3.75 The following pictures show a molecular-scale view of a chemical reaction between the compounds AB2 and B2. (A atoms are shown in blue and B atoms in white). The box on the left represents the reactants at the instant of mixing, and the box on the right shows what is left once the reac- tion has gone to completion. Write a balanced chemical equation for this reaction. As usual, your equation should use the smallest possible whole number coefficients for all substances.
What is meant by a limiting reactant in a particular reaction? In what way is the reaction “limited”? What does it mean to say that one or more of the reactants are present in excess? What happens to a reaction when the limiting reactant is used up?
3.93 Adipic acid is used in the production of nylon, so it is manufactured in large quantities. The most common method for the preparation of adipic acid is the reaction of cyclohexane with oxygen. Balance the skeleton equation shown be1ow.
ABS plastic is a tough, hard plastic used in applications requiring shock resistance. The polymer consists of three monomer units: acrylonitrile (C3H3N), butadiene (C4H6), and styrene (C8H8). a. A sample of ABS plastic contains 8.80% N by mass. It took 0.605 g of Br2 to react completely with a 1.20-g sample of ABS plastic. Bromine reacts 1: 1 (by moles) with the butadiene molecules in the polymer and nothing else. What is the percent by mass of acrylonitrile and butadiene in this polymer? b. What are the relative numbers of each of the monomer units in this polymer?
Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) have been used extensively as dielectric materials in electrical transformers. Because PCBs have been shown to be potentially harmful, analysis for their presence in the environment has become very important. PCBs are manufactured according to the following generic reaction: C12H10+nCl2C12H10nCln.+nHCl This reaction results in a mixture of PCB products. The mixture is analyzed by decomposing the PCBs and then precipitating the resulting Cl asAgCl. a. Develop a general equation that relates the average value of n to the mass of a given mixture of PCBs and the mass of AgCl produced. b. A 0.1947-g sample of a commercial PCB yielded 0.4791 g of AgCl. What is the average value of n for this sample?
Give the balanced equation for each of the following. a. The combustion of ethanol (C2H5OH) forms carbon dioxide and water vapor.
