- (a) Butane gas, C4H10, can burn completely in air [use O2(g) as the other reactant] to give carbon dioxide gas and water vapor. Write a balanced equation for this combustion reaction. (b) Write a balanced chemical equation for the complete combustion of C3H7BO3, a gasoline additive. The products of combustion are CO2(g), H2O(g), and B2O3(s).arrow_forwardOn Easter Sunday, April 3, 1983, nitric acid spilled from a tank car near downtown Denver, Colorado. The spill was neutralized with sodium carbonate: 2HNO3(aq)+Na2CO3(aq)2NaNO3(aq)+H2O(l)+CO2(g) a. Calculate H for this reaction. Approximately 2.0 104 gal nitric acid was spilled. Assume that the acid was an aqueous solution containing 70.0% HNO3 by mass with a density of 1.42 glcm3. What mass of sodium carbonate was required for complete neutralization of the spill, and what quantity of heat was evolved? (Hf for NaNO3(aq) = 467 kJ/mol) b. According to The Denver Post for April 4, 1983, authorities feared that dangerous air pollution might occur during the neutralization. Considering the magnitude of H, what was their major concern?arrow_forwardThe carbon dioxide exhaled in the breath of astronauts is often removed from the spacecraft by reaction with lithium hydroxide 2LiOH(s)+CO2(g)Li2CO3(s)+H2O(l) Estimate the grams of lithium hydroxide required per astronaut per day. Assume that each astronaut requires 2.50 103 kcal of energy per day. Further assume that this energy can be equated to the heat of combustion of a quantity of glucose, C6H12O6, to CO2(g) and H2O(l). From the amount of glucose required to give 2.50 103 kcal of heat, calculate the amount of CO2 produced and hence the amount of LiOH required. The H for glucose(s) is 1273 kJ/mol.arrow_forward
- 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_forwardConsider the balanced chemical equation :math>A+5B3C+4D en equal masses of A and B are reacted, which is limiting, A or B? Justify your choice. If the molar mass of A is greater than the molar mass of B, then A must be limiting. If the molar mass of A is less than the molar mass of B, then A must be limiting. If the molar mass of A is greater than the molar mass of B, then B must be limiting. If the molar mass of A is less than the molar mass of B, then B must be limiting.arrow_forwardAqueous solutions of ammonium sulfide, (NH4)2S, and Hg(NO3)2 react to produce HgS and NH4NO3. (a) Write the overall, balanced equation for the reaction. Indicate the state (s, aq) for each compound. (b) Name each compound. (c) What type of reaction is this?arrow_forward

See Table 6.2 for the data.arrow_forwardWhat 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?arrow_forward
- A 0.20 mol sample of magnesium burns in air to form 0.20 mol of solid MgO. What amount (moles) of oxygen (O2) is required for a complete reaction?arrow_forward4-55 For the reaction: (a) How many moles of N2 are required to react completely with 1 mole of O2? (b) How many moles of N2O3 are produced from the complete reaction of 1 mole of O2? (c) How many moles of O2 are required to produce 8 moles of N2O3?arrow_forward
