Better than i am and very precice
I first converted the given grams of the reactants into moles, and then divided the moles by the coefficients in front of each of the reactant. The result with the smallest value will be the limiting reactant, and the value of CuO was the smallest, so it's the limiting reactant.
After figuring out which reactant is the limiting one, I took their given grams and converted it into moles, the divided it by the ratio of N2 to CuO (it's in the equation) to obtain the moles of N2, and then multiply it with the molar mass of N2 to get its mass in grams.
Answer:
The answer to your question is 50 moles of O₂
Explanation:
Balanced Chemical reactions
1.- N₂(g) + 3H₂ (g) ⇒ 2NH₃ (g)
2.- 4NH₃ (g) + 5O₂(g) ⇒ 4NO (g) + 6H₂O (l)
moles of N₂(g) = 20 moles
moles of O₂(g) = ?
Process
1.- Calculate the moles of NH₃
1 mol of N₂ ------------- 2 moles of NH₃
20 moles of N₂ --------- x
x = (20 x 2) / 1
x = 40 moles of NH₃
2.- Calculate the moles of O₂
4 moles of NH₃ -------------- 5 O₂
40 moles of NH₃ ------------ x
x = (40 x 5) / 4
x = 200 / 4
x = 50 moles of O₂
Since both samples are pure CH4 (methane), the proportion of C to H that evolves from the decomposition should be equal. In equation form:
35.0 g C / 2.04 g H = 23.0 g C / x g H
Solving for x gives a value of x = 1.3406 g H
So 1.3406 grams of hydrogen will be produced from sample b.
4.658. Accuracy refers to how close the experimental value is to the actual value. Precision is how close a set of data is to one another.
