(a)
Interpretation:
The balanced chemical equation corresponding to given reaction scenes is to be written.
Concept introduction:
A balanced chemical equation obeys the law of conservation of mass since the total mass of reactants and products are equal in a balanced chemical equation.
Following are the steps to write a balanced chemical equation.
Step 1: Translate the chemical statement into a skeleton equation. The reactants are the chemical substances that undergo a change, thus, write the reactants on the left side of the yield arrow. The products are the chemical substances that are produced during the chemical change, thus, write the products on the right side of the yield arrow. Put a blank before each formula while beginning the balancing process.
Step 2: Identify the most complex substance and choose an element such that the element must be present only in one reactant and one product. Place the stoichiometric coefficient before the element/elements such that the number of atoms of that element(s) is the same on both sides.
Step 3: Balance the remaining atoms by placing the
Step 4: In a balanced
Step 5: Check whether the chemical equation is balanced or not by counting the number of atoms of each element on both sides.
Step 6: Specify the
(b)
Interpretation:
The limiting reactant is to be identified.
Concept introduction:
Limiting reagent is the reactant that is present in the least amount and hence governs the amount of products formed.
In order to determine the limiting reactant firstly a balanced equation is written, then amount of each reactant given is converted to corresponding moles. Further on the basis of the stoichiometric molar ratio by which reactants combine, the amount of product formed from each of the reactants is calculated.
The reactant that forms a lesser amount of product gives us the limiting reactant.
(c)
Interpretation:
The number of moles of product formed from
Concept introduction:

The reactant that forms a lesser amount of product gives us the limiting reactant.
(d)
Interpretation:
The number of moles of excess reactant remaining after part (c) is to be calculated.
Concept introduction:
Limiting reagent is the reactant that is present in the least amount and hence governs the amount of products formed.
The reagent that is present in the excess amount in the reaction mixture is called excess reactant. It is left unreacted in the reaction mixture after the reaction is completed.

- The reaction of solid dimethylhydrazine, (CH3)2N2H2, and liquefied dinitrogen tetroxide, N2O4, has been investigated for use as rocket fuel. The reaction produces the gases carbon dioxide (CO2), nitrogen (N2), and water vapor (H2O), which are ejected in the exhaust gases. In a controlled experiment, solid dimethylhydrazine was reacted with excess dinitrogen tetroxide, and the gases were collected in a closed balloon until a pressure of 2.50 atm and a temperature of 400.0 K were reached.(a) What are the partial pressures of CO2, N2, and H2O?(b) When the CO2 is removed by chemical reaction, what are the partial pressures of the remaining gases?arrow_forwardOne liter of chlorine gas at 1 atm and 298 K reacts completely with 1.00 L of nitrogen gas and 2.00 L of oxygen gas at the same temperature and pressure. A single gaseous product is formed, which fills a 2.00 L flask at 1.00 atm and 298 K. Use this information to determine the following characteristics of the product:(a) its empirical formula;(b) its molecular formula;(c) the most favorable Lewis formula based on formal charge arguments (the central atom is N);(d) the shape of the molecule.arrow_forwardHow does the square root mean square velocity of gas molecules vary with temperature?
