Many metals react with oxygen gas to form the metal oxide. For example, calcium reacts as follows:

2Ca(s)+O2(g)→2CaO(s)

You wish to calculate the mass of calcium oxide that can be prepared from 4.20 g of and 2.80 g of O2

(a) How many moles of CaO can be produced from the given mass of Ca ?

(b) How many moles of CaO can be produced from the given mass ofO2

(c) Which is the limiting reactant?

(d) How many grams of CaO can be produced?

Short Answer

Expert verified
  1. The number of moles of CaO produced from Cais 0.1048 mol.
  2. The number of moles of CaO produced fromO2is 0.175 mol.
  3. CaO is the limiting reactant.
  4. The mass of CaOproduced is 5.88 g.

Step by step solution

01

Relation between mass and number of moles

The number of moles is calculated by the mass and Molar mass. The relationship between the number of moles, mass, and molar mass is given below.

Numberofmoles=massmolarmass

02

Calculate the number of moles ofCa

The mass ofCa = 4.20 g.

The molar mass ofCa=40.078 g/mol

Thus, thenumber of molesCais:

role="math" localid="1657095204157" NumberofmolesofCa=massofCamolarmassofCa=4.20g40.078g/mol=0.1048mol

03

Calculate the number of moles ofO2

The mass ofO2= 2.80 g.

The molar mass ofO2=31.998g/mol

Thus, thenumber of molesO2is:

NumberofmolesofO2=massofO2molarmassofO2=2.80g31.998g/mol=0.875mol

04

Determine the Limiting reagent of the reaction

In the reaction, 2 mol o Careacts with 1mol ofO2Thus,

role="math" localid="1657095926696" 2molofCa=1molofO20.1048molofCa=0.1048×12molofO2=0.0524molofO2

Therefore,role="math" localid="1657095760078" O2present in access in the reaction, henceCais a limiting reagent.

05

Step 5: Calculate the number of moles ofCaO from Ca

In the given reaction,2mol ofCaforms 2mol ofCaO

Thus, the number of moles of is

role="math" localid="1657096177880" 2molofCa=2molofCaO0.1048molofCa=0.1048×22molofCaO=0.1048molofCaO

06

Calculate the number of moles ofCaO from O2

In the given reaction,1 mol of O2forms 2 mol of role="math" localid="1657096151341" CaO

Thus, the number of moles ofCaOis

1molofO2=2molofCaO0.0875molofO2=0.1048×2molofCaO=0.175molofCaO

07

Calculate the mass ofCaO

The molar mass ofCaO=56.08g/mol

Since the number of moles ofCaO= 0.1048 mol

Thus, themassofCaOis:

massofCa=molesofCaO×molarmassofCaO=0.1048mol×56.08g/mol=5.88g
