weight of H₂O formed = 2.3 grams H₂O (2 sig. figs.)

Explanation:

Rxn: CH₄(g) + 2O₂(g) => CO₂(g) + 2H₂O(g)

Given: 1.16g 4.16g 3.52g ? (g)

Moles: 1.16g/16g·mol⁻¹ 4.16g/32g·mol⁻¹ 3.52g/44g·mol⁻¹

= 0.0725mol. = 0.13mol. = 0.08mol. => ? (moles)

Limiting Reactant: Divide each mole value by related coefficient of balanced standard equation (that is, balanced with coefficients in lowest whole number ratios). The smaller value is the limiting reactant.

0.0725/1 0.13/2 0.080/1

= 0.0725 = 0.065 = 0.080

Limiting Reactant is O₂(g) => 0.065 is smaller value after dividing each mole value by related coefficient of balanced equation.

NOTE: When working problem, however, one must use the mole value calculated from given amount in grams. That is, in this case 0.13 mole O₂. The 'divide by related coefficient and check smaller value' is ONLY for identifying the limiting reactant. This trick works for ALL general chemistry problems.

Moles H₂O formed: Since the coefficient of the limiting reactant (O₂) equals the coefficient of water (H₂O), then the moles of water formed is 0.065 mole H₂O.

Weight (in grams) of H₂O formed:

Grams H₂O = moles H₂O x formula weight H₂O

= 0.13 mole H₂O x 18 g H₂O/mole H₂O

= 2.34 g H₂O (calculator answer)

= 2.3 g H₂O (final answer should be rounded to 2 sig. figs.) => form of final answer should be based on data in final computation having the least number of sig. figs.

Review: Sequence of calculations

Write and balance equation to smallest whole no. ratio of coefficients.If not in moles, convert given 'measured' data to dimension of moles. => moles = mass (g)/formula wt(g·mol⁻¹) => moles = volume of gas in Liters/Std Molar Volume (= 22.4L·mole⁻¹ at STP) => moles = no. of particles / Avogadro's No. (= 6.02 x 10²³ part's/mole)Determine Limiting Reactant => mole values of each compound given / related coefficient in standard equation => smallest value is L.R.Determine moles of unknown needed/used/formed from limiting reactant in moles and coefficient of unknown compound in standard equation given data values.

=> moles of limiting reactant / coefficient of same cpd. in std. equation = unknown (X) / coefficient of same (unknown) cpd. in std. equation

=> cross multiply and solve for unknown (X)

=> L.R.(moles) / eqn. coef. of L.R. = X / eqn. coef. of X

=> (L.R.(calc'd moles)(eqn. coef. of X) = (X)(eqn. coef. of L.R.)

=> X (in moles) = (L.R.(calc'd. moles)(eqn. coef. of X) / (eqn. coef. of L.R.)

Convert X-answer in moles to desired dimension specified in problem.

=> grams = moles x formula wt.

=> volume (L) = moles x std. volume (= 22.4L/mole)

=> #particles = moles x Avogadro's Number (= 6.02 x 10²³ parts/mole)

Oxidation-reduction reactions (often called "redox" for short) are reactions that involve the transfer of electrons from one species to another. oxidation states, or oxidation numbers, allow chemists to keep track of these electron transfers. in general, one element will lose electrons (oxidation), with the result that it will increase in oxidation number, and another element will gain electrons (reduction), thereby decreasing in oxidation number. the species that is oxidized is called the reducing agent or reductant. the species that is reduced is called the oxidizing agent or oxidant. to sum up: oxidation = increase in oxidation state = loss of electrons = reducing agent reduction = decrease in oxidation state = gain of electrons = oxidizing agent part a which element is oxidized in this reaction? fe2o3+3co→2fe+3co2 enter the elemental symbol. view available hint(s) is oxidized part b which element is reduced in this reaction? 2hcl+2kmno4+3h2c2o4→6co2+2mno2+2kcl +4h2o enter the elemental symbol. view available hint(s) is reduced
