Given this reaction: 4K(s) + O2(g)→2K2O(s) Calculate how many grams of product is produced if 2.50 g of each reactant is reacted.
PLEASE HURRY!!!

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, since 2.50 g of both potassium (molar mass = 39.1 g/mol) and gaseous oxygen (molar mass = 32.0 g/mol) react in a 4:1 and 1:2 mole ratio respectively, to produce potassium oxide (molar mass = 94.2 g/mol), we evaluate the mass of potassium oxide yielded by each reactant in order to identify the limiting one via stoichiometry:

Thus, since the 2.50 g of potassium yields 3.01 g of potassium oxide, we infer it is the limiting reactant and that is the mass of produced product by the reaction.

Best regards!

definition

                    entropy is a measure of the randomness or the extent of disorder of a chemical process.

                      enthalpy is a measure of the heat change of a reaction occurring at a constant pressure.

measurement units:

                        entropy is measured in joule per kelvin (jk⁻¹)   whereas enthalpy is measured in joule per mole (jmol⁻¹)

requirements:

                            entropy has no requirements or limits, and its change is measured by the division between the heat change of the chemical process and the temperature.

                              in contrast, enthalpy can only be related to the heat change of the reaction under standard conditions.
