Determine the type of chemical reaction, find the limiting reagent, determine the amount of product in grams, and the amount in grams of excess reagent.
Calcium nitrate is decomposed with heat to give calcium nitrite and oxygen gas. Start with 15.99g of calcium nitrate.
Ca(NO3)2(aq) -heat-> Ca(NO3)2(s) + O2(g)
chemical reaction is decomposition.
Molar Mass of Ca(NO3)2 = 164 amu. 1moleCa(NO3)2 = 164gCa(NO3)2
(1moleCa(NO3)2 / 164gCa(NO3)2) 15.99gCa(NO3)2 = .0975moleCa(NO3)2
There is no limiting reagent.
The product would be 15.99g.
I don't think this is right and I don't know how to answer the last question (especially in this problem).
Could you please explain this problem and check my work? Thanks!
