(a) Define the terms limiting reactant and excess reactant. (b) Why are the amounts of products formed in a reaction determined only by the amount of the limiting reactant? (c) Why should you base your choice of what compound is the limiting reactant on its number of initial moles, not on its initial mass in grams?
An oxybromate compound, \(\mathrm{KBrO}_{x}\), where \(x\) is unknown, is analyzed and found to contain \(52.92 \%\). Br. What is the value of \(x ?\)
Calculate the percentage by mass of oxygen in the following compounds: (a) morphine, \(\mathrm{C}_{17} \mathrm{H}_{19} \mathrm{NO}_{3}\); (b) codeine, \(\mathrm{C}_{18} \mathrm{H}_{21} \mathrm{NO}_{3} ;\) (c) cocaine, \(\mathrm{C}_{17} \mathrm{H}_{21} \mathrm{NO}_{4}\) (d) tetracycline, \(\mathrm{C}_{22} \mathrm{H}_{24} \mathrm{~N}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{8} ;\) (e) digitoxin, \(\mathrm{C}_{4} \mathrm{H}_{64} \mathrm{O}_{13} ;\) (f) vancomycin, \(\mathrm{C}_{66} \mathrm{H}_{75} \mathrm{Cl}_{2} \mathrm{~N}_{g} \mathrm{O}_{24}\)
(a) Combustion analysis of toluene, a common organic solvent, gives \(5.86 \mathrm{mg}\) of \(\mathrm{CO}_{2}\) and \(1.37 \mathrm{mg}\) of \(\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}\). If the compound contains only carbon and hydrogen, what is its empirical formula? (b) Menthol, the substance we can smell in mentholated cough drops, is composed of \(\mathrm{C}, \mathrm{H}\), and \(\mathrm{O}\). A \(0.1005-\mathrm{g}\) sample of menthol is combusted, producing \(0.2829 \mathrm{~g}\) of \(\mathrm{CO}_{2}\) and \(0.1159 \mathrm{~g}\) of \(\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}\). What is the empirical formula for menthol? If menthol has a molar mass of \(156 \mathrm{~g} / \mathrm{mol}\), what is its molecular formula?
Balance the following equations: (a) \(\mathrm{L}_{\mathrm{L}(s)}+\mathrm{N}_{2}(g) \longrightarrow \mathrm{Li}_{3} \mathrm{~N}(s)\) (b) \(\mathrm{La}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{3}(s)+\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}(l) \longrightarrow \mathrm{La}(\mathrm{OH})_{3}(a q)\) (c) \(\mathrm{NH}_{4} \mathrm{NO}_{3}(s) \longrightarrow \mathrm{N}_{2}(g)+\mathrm{O}_{2}(g)+\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}(g)\) (d) \(\mathrm{Ca}_{3} \mathrm{P}_{2}(s)+\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}(l) \longrightarrow \mathrm{Ca}(\mathrm{OH})_{2}(a q)+\mathrm{PH}_{3}(g)\) (e) \(\mathrm{Ca}(\mathrm{OH})_{2}(a q)+\mathrm{H}_{3} \mathrm{PO}_{4}(a q)\) \(\mathrm{Ca}_{3}\left(\mathrm{PO}_{4}\right)_{2}(s)+\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}(l)\) (f) \(\mathrm{AgNO}_{3}(a q)+\mathrm{Na}_{2} \mathrm{SO}_{4}(a q) \overrightarrow{\mathrm{Ag}_{2} \mathrm{SO}_{4}(s)+\mathrm{NaNO}_{3}(a q)}\) (g) \(\mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{NH}_{2}(\mathrm{~g})+\mathrm{O}_{2}(g) \longrightarrow\) \(\mathrm{CO}_{2}(g)+\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}(g)+\mathrm{N}_{2}(g)\)
