- 4.8 In an experiment carried out at very low pressure, 13x1015 molecules of H2 are reacted with acetylene, C2H2, to form ethane, C2H6, on the surface of a catalyst. Write a balanced chemical equation for this reaction. How many molecules of acetylene are consumed?arrow_forwardThe reaction of equal molar amounts of benzene, C6H6, and chlorine, Cl2, carried out under special conditions completely consumes the reactants and yields a gas and a clear liquid. Analysis of the liquid shows that it contains 64.03% carbon, 4.48% hydrogen, and 31.49% chlorine, and has a molar mass of 112.5 g/mol. Write the balanced equation for this reaction.arrow_forwardlist at least three quantities that must be conserved in chemical reactions.arrow_forward
- The final step in the manufacture of platinum metal (for use in automotive catalytic converters and other products) is the reaction 3 (NH4)2PtCl6(s) 3 Pt(s) + 2 NH4Cl(s) + 2 N2(g) + 16 HCl(g) Complete this table of reaction quantities for the reaction of 12.35 g (NH4)2PtCl6.arrow_forwardFor this reaction, fill in the table with the indicated quantities for the balanced equation. 4 NH3(g) + 5 O2(g) → 4 NO(g) + 6 H2O(g)arrow_forwardMany cereals are made with high moisture content so that the cereal can be formed into various shapes before it is dried. A cereal product containing 58% H2O by mass is produced at the rate of 1000. kg/h. What mass of water must be evaporated per hour if the final product contains only 20.% water?arrow_forward
- Determine the volume of sulfuric acid solution needed to prepare 37.4 g of aluminum sulfate, Al2(SO4)3, by the reaction 2Al(s)+3H2SO4(aq)Al2(SO4)3(aq)+3H2(g) The sulfuric acid solution, whose density is 1.104 g/mL, contains 15.0% H2SO4 by mass.arrow_forward4.68 The pictures below show a molecular-scale view of a chemical reaction between the compounds AB2 and B2. (Green balls represent B atoms and orange balls are A atoms). 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 reaction has gone to completion. Was there a limiting reactant in this reaction? If so, what was it? Write a balanced chemical equation for this reaction. As usual, your equation should use the smallest possible whole number coefficients for all substances.arrow_forwardAluminum carbide, Al4C3, reacts with water to produce methane, CH4. Al4C3(s) + 12 H2O(l) 4 Al(OH)3(s) + 3 CH4(g) 1. If 125 g of aluminum carbide is decomposed, what is the theoretical yield of methane? (a) 4.64 g (b) 13.9 g (c) 415 g (d) 154 garrow_forward
- You take 1.00 g of an aspirin tablet (a compound consisting solely of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen), burn it in air, and collect 2.20 g CO2 and 0.400 g H2O. You know that the molar mass of aspirin is between 170 and 190 g/mol. Reacting 1 mole of salicylic acid with I mole of acetic anhydride (C4H6O3) gives you 1 mole of aspirin and 1 mole of acetic acid (C2H4O2). Use this information to determine the molecular formula of salicylic acid.arrow_forwardNitrogen gas (N2) and hydrogen gas (H2) react to form ammonia gas (NH3). Consider the mixture of N2 () and H2 () in a closed container as illustrated below: Assuming the reaction goes to completion, draw a representation of the product mixture. Explain how you arrived at this representation.arrow_forwardAmmonia 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_forward
