Chapter 5, Problem 5.67E
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
An explanation regarding the use of the concept of limiting reactant in extinguishing of a fire is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
The limiting reactant is the reactant that is present in the lower concentration in the given reaction mixture. It is a substance which is totally consumed and produces less amount of product. The other reactant that is present in higher concentration in the given reaction mixture is known as the excess reactant.

- A common demonstration in chemistry courses involves adding a tiny speck of manganese(IV) oxide to a concentrated hydrogen peroxide, H2O2 , solution. Hydrogen peroxide is unstable, and it decomposes quite spectacularly under these conditions to produce oxygen gas and steam (water vapor). Manganese(IV) oxide is a catalyst for the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide and is not consumed in the reaction. Write the balanced equation for the decomposition reaction of hydrogen peroxide.arrow_forwardThe Solvay process is multistep industrial method for the manufacture of sodium carbonate, Na2CO3, which is also known as washing soda. Although most of the industrialized world utilizes the Solvay process for production of sodium carbonate, it is not manufactured in the United States because it can be obtained at lower cost from a large natural deposit in Wyoming. Questions 19 through 22 are based on reactions in that process. Sodium carbonate is used for many purposes, including glass manufacturing. How much NaCl is needed to react completely with 83.0g of ammonium hydrogen carbonate in NaCl+NH4HCO3NaHCO3+NH4Cl?arrow_forwardThe following demonstration takes place in a two-step process: First, solid calcium carbide (CaC2) reacts with liquid water to produce acetylene gas (C2H2) and aqueous calcium hydroxide. Second, the acetylene gas produced is then ignited with a match, causing the combustion reaction of acetylene with oxygen gas to produce gaseous carbon dioxide and gaseous water. Write the balanced equation for each reaction that is occurring.arrow_forward
