Respuesta :

Answer:

a) O2 is the limiting reactant

b) 5.75 grams P4O10

c) 5.79 grams P4O6

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of P4 = 5.77 grams

Mass of O2 = 5.77 grams

Molar mass of P4 = 123.90 g/mol

Molar mass O2 = 32.0 g/mol

Step 2: The balanced equation

P4 + 3O2 → P4O6

Step 3: Calculate moles of P4

Moles P4 = mass P4 / molar mass P4

Moles P4 = 5.77 grams / 123.90 g/mol

Moles P4 = 0.0466 moles

Step 4: Calculate moles O2

Moles O2 = mass O2 / molar mass O2

Moles O2 = 5.77 grams / 32.0 g/mol

Moles O2 = 0.1803 moles

Step 5: Calculate limiting reactant

P4 is the limiting reactant in this reaction. It will completely be consumed (0.0466 moles). O2 is in excess, there will react 3*0.0466 = 0.1398 moles

There will remain 0.1803 - 0.1398 = 0.0405 moles O2

Step 6: Calculate the amount of P4O6

For 1 mol P4 we'll have 1 mol P4O6

For 0.0466 moles P4 we'll have 0.0466 moles P4O6

Step 7: The balanced equatio

P4O6 + 2O2 → P4O10

We have 0.0466 moles P4O6 and 0.0405 moles O2

Step 8: Calculate the limiting reactant

For 1 mol P4O6 we need 2 moles O2 to produce 1 mol P4O10

O2 is the limiting reactant. It will completely be consumed (0.0405 moles)

P4O6 is in excess. There will react 0.0405/2 = 0.02025 moles

There will remain 0.0466 - 0.02025 = 0.02635 moles P4O6

This is 0.02635 * 219.88 g/mol = 5.79 grams P4O6

Step 9: Calculate moles and mass of P4O10

For 1 mol P4O6 we need 2 moles O2 to produce 1 mol P4O10

For 0.0405 moles O2 we'll have 0.02025 moles P4O10

This is 0.02025 * 283.89 g/mol = 5.75 grams P4O10

a. The limiting reagent for the formation of P₄O₁₀ is O₂

b. The mass of P₄O₁₀ produced is 5.79 g

c. The mass of excess reactant left is 5.76138  g  

Firstly, the limiting reagent is the reactant that is completely used up in a reaction while the excess reagent is the reactant that is not used up when the reaction is concluded.

Let's represents the series of the reactions chemically and balance them.

P₄ + O₂→ P₄O₆

P₄ + 3O₂→ P₄O₆

P₄O₆ + O₂→P₄O₁₀

P₄O₆ +2O₂→P₄O₁₀

Let's calculate the values to get the moles/mass of P₄O₆ that was used in the final chemical equation.

Therefore,

Moles of P₄ = mass/molar mass  =5.77/123.90 = 0.04656981436≈0.0465 moles

Moles of O₂ = 5.77/32 = 0.1803125≈0.1803 moles

From  the first chemical reaction, P₄  is the limiting reagent while O₂ is the excess reactant.

This means 0.0465 moles of P₄ reacted with 3 × 0.0465 moles of O₂(0.1395

moles)

The excess oxygen remaining in the first reaction will be 0.1803 - 0.1395 = 0.0408  moles

P₄O₆ +2O₂→P₄O₁₀

1 mole of P₄O₆ + 2 moles of O₂ = 1 mole of P₄O₁₀

0.0408 moles of O₂ will produce 0.0204  moles of P₄O₁₀

a.

The limiting reagent in the formation of P₄O₁₀ is O₂(0.0408 moles).

b.

The mass of of P₄O₁₀ produced can be below

moles = mass/molar mass =

mass = moles × molar mass

mass = 0.0204  × 283.90 = 5.79 grams

c.

The excess reactant(P₄O₆) mass will be

1 mole of P₄O₆ needs 2 moles of O₂ to produce 1 mole of P₄O₁₀

Therefore,

moles of P₄O₆  that will react will be = 0.0408/2 = 0.0204  moles

The remainder will be = 0.0466 - 0.0204  = 0.0262  moles

mass of the excess reactant left = 0.0262  × 219.9(moles × molar mass of P₄O₆) = 5.76138  g left.
