question 17

Multiple Choice

Look at the reaction below: Suppose 0.55 g of water were produced from 1.2 g of aluminum hydroxide and a certain amount of hydrochloric acid. Which of the following statements is true? Choose the best answer.

• A) Aluminum hydroxide is the limiting reactant because 1.2 g of aluminum hydroxide produces 0.55 g of water.
• B) Aluminum hydroxide is the limiting reactant because it has a smaller coefficient than the hydrochloric acid.
• C) Aluminum hydroxide is not the limiting reactant because more than 0.55 g of water could have been produced from 1.2 g of aluminum hydroxide.
• D) Aluminum hydroxide is not the limiting reactant because we are given an amount of leftover aluminum hydroxide.
• E) There is not enough information given to answer this question.

Definitions:

Breathing

The physiological process of inhaling oxygen from the air into the lungs and exhaling carbon dioxide out, essential for life.

Ventilation-Perfusion Coupling

The coordination between the air flow in the lungs (ventilation) and the blood flow in the circulatory system (perfusion), essential for efficient gas exchange.

Alveoli

Tiny air sacs within the lungs where the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide occurs, crucial for breathing and systemic respiration.

Blood Flow

The continuous circulation of blood through the cardiovascular system, delivering oxygen and nutrients to and removing waste products from tissues.
