Chemical reactions are represented by chemical equations. In a chemical equation the reactants are represented on the left of the arrow while the products are represented on the right of the arrow. Stoichiometric coefficient is the number preceding each symbol in a reaction which determines the moles of the reactants and products in the reaction. The ratio of moles is termed as mole ratio.

EBK INTRODUCTORY CHEMISTRY
- Propane, C3H8, is the fuel of choice in a gas barbecue. When burning, the balanced equation is C3H8+5O23CO2+4H2O a What is the limiting reactant in cooking with a gas grill? b If the grill will not light and you know that you have an ample flow of propane to the burner, what is the limiting reactant? c When using a gas grill you can sometimes turn the gas up to the point at which the flame becomes yellow and smokey. In terms of the chemical reaction, what is happening?arrow_forward3.115 The average person exhales 1.0 kg of carbon dioxide in a day. Describe how you would estimate the number of CO2 molecules exhaled per breath for this average person.arrow_forwardCopper reacts with nitric acid according to the following reaction. 3Cu(s)+8HNO3(aq)3Cu(NO3)2(aq)+2NO(g)+4H2O(l) If 2.40 g of Cu is added to a container with 2.00 mL of concentrated nitric acid (70% by mass HNO3; density = 1.42 g/cm3), what mass of nitrogen monoxide gas will be produced?arrow_forward
- 3.105 Nitric acid is often sold and transported as a concentrated 16 M aqueous solution.

Calculate the number of grams of carbon disulfide, CS2, needed for a laboratory-scale reaction with 62.7 g of chlorine, Cl2.arrow_forward4.44 Industrial production of hydrogen gas uses the reaction shown below. If 1.00 metric ton of propane reacting with excess water yields 270 kg of H2, what is the percentage yield? C3H8(g)+3H2O(l)3CO(g)+7H2(g)arrow_forward
- The principal constituent of natural gas is methane, which burns in air according to the reaction CH4+2O2CO2+2H2O How many grams of O2 are needed to produce 3.50 g of CO2?arrow_forwardMethanol, CH3OH, is prepared industrially from the gas-phase catalytic balanced reaction that has been depicted here using molecular models. In a laboratory test, a reaction vessel was filled with 41.1 g CO und 10.2 g H2. How many grams of methanol would be produced in a complete reaction? Which reactant remains unconsumed at the end of the reaction? How many grams of it remain?arrow_forwardIn an experiment designed to produce calcium oxide by the chemical reaction 2Ca + O2 2CaO 177.2 g of CaO was obtained out of a possible 203.9 g ofCaO. a. What is the theoretical yield of CaO? b. What is the actual yield of CaO? c. What is the percent yield of CaO?arrow_forward
