Consider the reaction of tin with potassium hydroxide and water. Sn (s) 2KOH (aq) 4H2O (l) K2Sn(OH)6 (s) 2H2 (g) Determine the limiting reactant in a mixture containing 122 g of Sn, 134 g of KOH, and 63.9 g of H2O. Calculate the maximum mass (in grams) of potassium hydroxystannate, K2Sn(OH)6, that can be produced in the reaction. The limiting reactant is:

The limiting reactant is: H₂O

265.3 g of K₂Sn(OH)₆ are formed in the reaction.

Explanation:

The reaction is:

Sn(s) + 2KOH (aq) + 4H₂O(l)  → K₂Sn(OH)₆ (s) + 2H₂ (g)

The first step to solve is to determine the moles of each reactant:

We controlled that reaction is ballanced.

122 g . 1mol / 118.71g = 1.03 moles of Sn

134g . 1mol /56.1g = 2.39 moles of KOH

63.9 g .1mol /18g = 3.55 mol of water

Stoichiometry is 1:2:4.

Sn is the lowest reactant and water, the highest, but I can see, that water is the limiting.

1 mol of Sn needs 4 moles of H₂O to react

Then, 1.03 moles of Sn may react to (1.03 . 4)/1 = 4.12 moles.

We only have 3.55 moles. It's ok.

2 moles of KOH need 4 moles of H₂O to react

Then, 2.39 moles of KOH may react to (2.39 . 4) /2 = 4.78 moles.

We only have 3.55, there's no enough water.

So 4 moles of water can produce 1 mol of potassium hydroxystannate

Then, 3.55 moles of H₂O may produce (3.55 . 1)/4 = 0.8875 moles.

We convert moles to mass: 0.08875 mol . 298.91g /1mol =265.3g

well off of my head we know that the perfume bottle is most likely opened, or broken. i can also tell it is moving at low and high concentration because it is covering the other side of the room. what we can obtain from this information is it explains why the odor can be detected at the other side of the room.

- calcium has greater affinity to bond with electron receptors than hydrogen does and hence, it has the ability to replace hydrogen in most of its compounds.

- lithium has 2 valence electrons in the product because it can make only 1 bond with hydrogen. beryllium has 4 valence electrons in the product because it can only make 2 bonds. it has fewer electrons than neon and can react with electron donors. each hydrogen has 2 valence electrons, the same as helium.

- the covalent bond formed between carbon and hydrogen is polar because carbon is more electronegative than hydrogen and it attracts the bonded electron pair closer to itself, thus giving hydrogen a partial positive charge.

- a hydrogen bond is a relatively weak bond that hydrogen atoms make with the electronegative atoms nitrogen, oxygen or fluorine.

so the best choice is a.) 2 calcium (ca) atoms
