Answer #1

1) Answer :- 12 moles O2.

The given reaction is

C3H7SHU) + 602(g) + 3CO2(g) + SO2(g) + 4H2O(g)

Form reaction it is clear that,

4 moles of water produced from 6 moles of oxygen.

ie. 4 mol of water = 6 mol of oxygen

therefore,

8 mol of water = 8(mol) x 6(mol) = 12(mol 4(mol) of oxygen.

therefore, 12 mol of oxygen will require to produce 8 mol of water.

2) Answer :- 108 g NaCl

The given balanced reaction is

2Na(s) + Cl2(g) + 2Nacho  

from reaction

theoretical Ratio of moles of reactants, Na:Cl2 = \frac{2}{1} = 1

Given :-

Mass of Na = 58.8 g

Molar mass of Na = 23 g/mol

Mass of Cl2 = 65.5 g

Molar mass of Cl2 = 71 g/mol

we know Mass Moles = Molar Mass

therefore,

Moles of Na = 58.8 (9) = 2.56mol 23(g/mol)

Moles of Cl2 = 65.5 (9) - = 0.923mol 71(g/mol)

therefore

Ratio of actual moles of Na:Cl2 is 2.56 0.925=277

ie. theoretical mol ratio < actual mol ratio.

Hence, Cl2 is limiting reagent.

Thus theoretical yield is calculated from Cl2

from reaction

1 mol of Cl2 = 2 mol of NaCl

therefore,

0.923 mol of Cl2 = 0.923(mol) x 2(mol) 2 = 1.846(mol) 1(mol) of NaCl.

Now,

Molar mass of NaCl = 58.5 g/mol.

therefore,

Mass of NaCl = 1.846(mol) x 58.5(g/mol) = 107.9(9) = 108(9)
