Limiting reagent problem. How many grams of H2O is produced from 40.0 g N2O4 and 25.0 g N2H4. N2O4 (l) + 2 N2H4 (l) → 3 N2 (g) + 4 H2O(g)

28.13 g of H2O.

Explanation:

We'll begin by writing the balanced equation for the reaction. This is illustrated below:

N2O4(l) + 2N2H4 (l) → 3N2(g) + 4H2O(g)

Next, we shall determine the masses of N2O4 and N2H4 that reacted and the mass of H2O produced from the balanced equation.

This is illustrated below:

Molar mass of N2O4 = (14x2) + (16x4) = 92 g/mol

Mass of N2O4 from the balanced equation = 1 x 92 = 92g

Molar mass of N2H4 = (14x2) + (4x1) = 32 g/mol

Mass of N2H4 from the balanced equation = 2 x 32 = 64 g

Molar mass of H2O = (2x1) + 16 = 18 g/mol

Mass of H2O from the balanced equation = 4 x 18 = 72 g

Summary:

From the balanced equation above,

92 g of N2O4 reacted with 64 g of N2H4 to produce 72 g of H2O.

Next, we shall determine the limiting reactant.

This can be obtained as follow:

From the balanced equation above,

92 g of N2O4 reacted with 64 g of N2H4.

Therefore, 40 g of N2O4 will react with = (40 x 64)/92 = 27.83 g of N2H4.

From the calculations made above, we can see that it will take a higher mass i.e 27.83 g than what was given i.e 25 g of N2H4 to react completely with 40 g of N2O4.

Therefore, N2H4 is the limiting reactant and N2O4 is the excess reactant.

Finally, we shall determine the mass of H2O produced from the reaction of 40.0 g of N2O4 and 25.0 g of N2H4.

In this case the limiting reactant will be used because it will produce the maximum amount of H2O as all of it is consumed in the reaction.

The limiting reactant is N2H4 and the mass of H2O produced can be obtained as follow:

From the balanced equation above,

64 g of N2H4 reacted to produce 72 g of H2O.

Therefore, 25 g of N2H4 will react to produce = (25 x 72)/64 = 28.13 g of H2O.

Therefore, 28.13 g of H2O were obtained from the reaction.

the answer

explanation:

the capillary tube was too close to the bottom of the beaker.

the ruler may have moved.

water got into the capillary tube.

the temperature was not allowed to equilibrate in the 2-4 minutes.

i think its 5049.

i hope this !
