- Observe and Infer Determine whether each reaction depends on a limiting reactant. Explain why or why not, and identify the limiting reactant. a. Potassium chlorate decomposes to form potassium chloride and oxygen. b. Silver nitrate and hydrochloric acid react to produce silver chloride and nitric acid.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_forwardThe simplest example of the hydrogenation of a carbon-carbon double bond is the reaction between ethene and hydrogen in the presence of nickel: CH2=CH2+H2NiCH3CH3. When 5.20g of ethene react with excess hydrogen gas, the reaction yields 4.75g of ethane. What is the percentage yield for this reaction?arrow_forward

(b) Which equation identifies the reactants and products of a combustion reaction? (c) Which equation is not balanced? (d) Which is a net ionic equation?arrow_forwardQuestion 57 through 62: Thermochemical equations may be written in two ways, either with an energy term as a part of the equation or with rH set apart from the regular equation. In the questions that follow, write both forms of the equations for the reactions described. Recall that state designations are required for all substances in a thermochemical equation. The reaction in an oxyacetylene torch is highly exothermic, releasing 1.31103kJ of heat to the environment for every mole of acetylene, C2H2(g), burned. The end products are gaseous carbon dioxide and liquid water.arrow_forwardThe quicklime produced in Question 63 is frequently converted to calcium hydroxide, sometimes called slaked lime, by an exothermic reaction with water: CaO(s)+H2O(l)Ca(OH)2(s)+65.3kJ. What mass in grams of quicklime was processed in a reaction that transferred 291kJ of energy?arrow_forward
