(a)
Interpretation:
The balanced chemical equation of given reaction should be given.
Concept introduction:
Balanced equation:
The number of atoms that are equally present in the both reactant and product side is known as balanced equation.
(b)
Interpretation:
The correct molecular model representation and limiting reagent for the given reaction should be given.
Concept introduction:
Molecular model representation:
The atoms and bonds that are present reaction is represented by bolls and stick is known as molecular model.
(c)
Interpretation:
The limiting reagent of the given reaction should be given.
Concept introduction:
Limiting reagent:
This reagent, which is completely consumed in the product formation, is known as limiting reagent because it is one of the reactant in a reaction so the amount of product is limited by this reagent.

- You have two distinct gaseous compounds made from element X and element Y. The mass percents are as follows: Compound I: 30.43% X, 69.57% Y Compound II: 63.64% X, 36.36% Y In their natural standard states, element X and element Y exist as gases. (Monatomic? Diatomic? Triatomic? That is for you to determine.) When you react gas X with gas Y to make the products, you get the following data (all at the same pressure and temperature): 1 volume gas X + 2 volumes gas Y 2 volumes compound I 2 volumes gas X + 1 volume gas Y 2 volumes compound II Assume the simplest possible formulas for reactants and products in the chemical equations above. Then, determine the relative atomic masses of element X and element Y.arrow_forwardTwo general chemistry students working together in the lab weigh out 0.832 g of CaCl2 2 H2O into a crucible. After heating the sample for a short time and allowing the crucible to cool, the students determine that the sample has a mass of 0.739 g. They then do a quick calculation. On the basis of this calculation, what should they do next? (a) Congratulate themselves on a job well done. (b) Assume the bottle of CaCl2 2 H2O was mislabeled; it actually contained something different. (c) Heat the crucible again, and then reweigh it.arrow_forwardYou have two distinct gaseous compounds made from element X and element Y.

- The properties of a mixture are typically averages of the properties of its components. The properties of a compound may differ dramatically from the properties of the elements that combine to produce the compound. For each process described below, state whether the material being discussed is most likely a mixture or a compound, and state whether the process is a chemical change or a physical change. a. An orange liquid is distilled, resulting in the collection of a yellow liquid and a red solid. b. A colorless, crystalline solid is decomposed, yielding a pale yellow-green gas and a soft, shiny metal. c. A cup of tea becomes sweeter as sugar is added to it.arrow_forwardOn October 21, 1982, the Bureau of the Mint changed the composition of pennies (see Exercise 120). Instead of an alloy of 95% Cu and 5% Zn by mass, a core of 99.2% Zn and 0.8% Cu with a thin shell of copper was adopted. The overall composition of the new penny was 97.6% Zn and 2.4% Cu by mass. Does this account for the difference in mass among die pennies in Exercise 120? Assume the volume of the individual metals that make up each penny can be added together to give the overall volume of the penny, and assume each penny is the same size. (Density of Cu = 8.96 g/cm3; density of Zn = 7.14 g/cm3).arrow_forwardWhich of these statements are qualitative? Which are quantitative? Explain your choice in each case. (a) Sodium is a silvery-white metal. (b) Aluminum melts at 660 C. (c) Carbon makes up about 23% of the human body by mass. (d) Pure carbon occurs in different forms: graphite, diamond, and fullerenes.arrow_forward
- Is there a difference between a homogeneous mixture of hydrogen and oxygen in a 2:1 ration and a sample of water vapor? Explain.arrow_forwardAlthough we tend to make less use of mercury these days because of the environmental problems created by its improper disposal, mercury is still an important metal because of its unusual property of existing as a liquid at room temperature. One process by which mercury is produced industrially is through the heating of its common ore cinnabar (mercuric sulfide, HgS) with lime (calcium oxide, CaO). 4 HgS(s) + 4 CaO(s) → 4 Hg(l) + 3 CaS(s) + CaSO4(s) What mass of mercury would be produced by complete reaction of 10.7 kg of HgS? kgarrow_forward200 g of a silicon compound is decomposed, resulting in 41 g of solid silicon and the remainder of some gas which was not weighed. Based on this information, which of the following compounds was decomposed, SiClF3 or SiCl2H2, or could it be either one?arrow_forward
- Hydrazine, N2H4, can be used as fuel to orient and maneuver spacecraft. The energy used to do so is obtained by reacting the hydrazine with dinitrogen tetroxide to form nitrogen gas and water vapor. Write and balance the chemical equation for this reaction.The spy satellite US-193 had 453 kg of hydrazine on board when it was destroyed. What mass of dinitrogen tetroxide would have had to be on board in order to completely react with the hydrazine? This reaction is a redox reaction. Assign oxidation states to each atom in the reaction,identify what is oxidized, what is reduced, the oxidizing agent, and the reducing agent. Answer in full please.arrow_forwardQ5. As part of the aspirin synthesis lab, the orgo students also had to perform the following calculation to demonstrate their knowledge. Are you able to help them work this out?Saponification is a process in which soap is produced from the chemical reaction between animal fat (triglycerides) and a strong base such as NaOH. An example of such a balanced chemical reaction is shown here:C57H110O6 + 3NaOH à C3H5(OH)3 + 3C18H35O2NaIf, during the saponification reaction, 228.5 g of C57H110O6 is mixed with 211.7 g of NaOH and 180 g of soap is produced: a.

My friend, the inventor, says that she has just made a translucent, light-weight metal by combining aluminum with helium and silicon.
