Sulfur and fluorine react in a combination reaction to produce sulfur hexafluoride: S(g) + 3F2(g) ->SF6(g) If 50 g S is allowed to react as completely as possible with 105.0g F2(g), what mass of the excess reactant is left.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Answer: The mass of excess reagent left is 20.48 g

Explanation:

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$ .....(1)

For sulfur:

Given mass of sulfur = 50 g

Molar mass of sulfur = 32 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\text{Moles of sulfur}=(50g)/(32g/mol)=1.56mol$

For fluorine gas:

Given mass of fluorine gas = 105 g

Molar mass of fluorine gas = 37.99 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\text{Moles of fluorine gas}=(105g)/(37.99g/mol)=2.76mol$

The chemical equation for the reaction of sulfur and fluorine gas follows:

$S(g)+3F_2(g)\rightarrow SF_6(g)$

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

3 moles of fluorine gas reacts with 1 mole of sulfur

So, 2.76 moles of fluorine gas will react with = $(1)/(3)* 2.76=0.92mol$ of sulfur

As, given amount of sulfur is more than the required amount. So, it is considered as an excess reagent.

Thus, fluorine gas is considered as a limiting reagent because it limits the formation of product.

Moles of excess reagent (sulfur) left = 1.56 - 0.92 = 0.64 moles

Now, calculating the mass of sulfur from equation 1, we get:

Molar mass of sulfur = 32 g/mol

Moles of sulfur = 0.64 moles

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$0.64mol=\frac{\text{Mass of sulfur}}{32g/mol}\n\n\text{Mass of sulfur}=20.48g$

Hence, the mass of excess reagent left is 20.48 g

Answer 2

Answer: The mole number of 50 g S is 1.563 mol. 105.0 g F2 is 2.763 mol. The ratio of S and F2 is 1:3. So the excess one is S. And mass left is 0.642*32=20.52 g.

The net energy released or absorbed during a reversible chemical reaction is equal to(1) the activation energy of the endothermic reaction
(2) the activation energy of the exothermic reaction
(3) the difference between the potential energy of the products and the potential energy of the reactants
(4) the sum of the potential energy of the products and the potential energy of the reactants

Answers

Answer: The correct answer is Option 3.

Explanation:

The net energy absorbed or released in a chemical reaction is known as the total enthalpy change of the reaction. It is written as $\Delta H_(rxn)$

The formula used to calculate total enthalpy of the reaction is:

$\Delta H_(rxn)=\sum H_(products)-\sum H_(reactants)$

where,

$H_(products)$ = Potential energy of the products

$H_(reactants)$ = Potential energy of the reactants

Hence, the correct answer is Option 3.

c. The differencece between the potential energy of the products and the potential energy of the reactants

A diatomic gas has the molar mass of 38.00g/mol. What is the possible formula?

Answers

The answer would be F₂. This is because you have 2 fluorine atoms. so you divide the 38g/mol by 2 atoms which gets you 19 g/mol per atom. Now all you have to do is find the atom with the molar mass of 19g/mol which is fluorine.

I hope this helps :)
