The formula of limiting reagent is 'S', the amount of excess reagent (carbon monoxide) left is 3.22 grams and the maximum amount of sulfur dioxide formed is 23.2 grams

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 = 11.6 g

Molar mass of sulfur = 32 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\text{Moles of sulfur}=\frac{11.6g}{32g/mol}=0.3625mol$

For carbon monoxide:

Given mass of carbon monoxide = 23.5 g

Molar mass of carbon monoxide = 28 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\text{Moles of carbon monoxide}=\frac{23.5g}{28g/mol}=0.840mol$

The chemical equation for the reaction of sulfur and carbon monoxide follows:

$S(s)+2CO(g)\rightarrow SO_2(g)+2C(s)$

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

1 mole of sulfur reacts with 2 moles of carbon monoxide

So, 0.3625 moles of sulfur will react with = $\frac{2}{1}\times 0.3625=0.725mol$ of carbon monoxide

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

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

Amount of excess reagent (carbon monoxide) = [0.840 - 0.725] = 0.115 moles

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

1 mole of sulfur produces 1 mole of sulfur dioxide

So, 0.3625 moles of sulfur will produce = $\frac{1}{1}\times 0.3625=0.3625moles$ of sulfur dioxide

Now, calculating the mass of carbon monoxide and sulfur dioxide from equation 1, we get:

For carbon monoxide:

Molar mass of carbon monoxide = 28 g/mol

Excess moles of carbon monoxide = 0.115 moles

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$0.115mol=\frac{\text{Mass of carbon monoxide}}{28g/mol}\\\\\text{Mass of carbon monoxide}=(0.115mol\times 28g/mol)=3.22g$

For sulfur dioxide:

Molar mass of sulfur dioxide = 64 g/mol

Excess moles of sulfur dioxide = 0.3625 moles

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$0.3625mol=\frac{\text{Mass of sulfur dioxide}}{64g/mol}\\\\\text{Mass of sulfur dioxide}=(0.3625mol\times 64g/mol)=23.2g$

Hence, the formula of limiting reagent is 'S', the amount of excess reagent (carbon monoxide) left is 3.22 grams and the maximum amount of sulfur dioxide formed is 23.2 grams

answer: -

reaction:

na + cl ⇌ nacl

balanced chemical equation:

na + 2cl ⇌ nacl2

sodium + clorine goes to form sodium chloride (table salt).

the product is nacl2.

and the reactants are na and cl.

(note: if you don’t know what ⇌ means, read below: -

⇌(double head arrow) means reversible reaction).

Darla claims that the first periodic table developed by mendeleev was not completely accurate, so it is not useful at all. harmony argues that it establish the periodic table we use today, making it more credible. who is correct and why? darla is correct, because a model that has any mistakes should be thrown out. darla is correct, because a good model would not need to change. harmony is correct, because mendeleev’s model had all of the information correct in the first version. harmony is correct, because mendeleev’s model made predictions that came true.
