Answer:

Lighter, positively charged particles form at the top of the cloud. Heavier, negatively charged particles sink to the bottom of the cloud. When the positive and negative charges grow large enough, a giant spark - lightning - occurs between the two charges within the cloud.

Consider this reaction: 6 CO2 + 6 H2O + light equation C6H12O6 + 6 O2 If there were 2.38 x 102 g of H2O, 18.6 moles of CO2, and
alisha [4.7K]

H₂O would be the limiting reactant.

Balanced chemical equation:

6CO₂ + 6H₂O + light equation → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂

The amount of product that can be created is constrained by the reactant that is consumed first in a chemical reaction, commonly referred to as the limiting reactant (or limiting reagent).

Given

No. of moles of CO₂ = 18.6

Mass of H₂O = 2.38 × 10² g = 238g

No. of moles of H₂O = Given mass/ Molar mass

                                = 238 / 18 = 13.22 moles

Moles of H₂O = 13.22

According to the balanced chemical equation

6 moles of CO₂ react with 6 moles of H₂O

So the reactant that has less number of moles will be consumed first.

As the No. of moles of H₂O < No. of moles of CO₂

So, H₂O is the limiting reactant with 13.22 moles.

Hence, H₂O would be the limiting reactant.

Which of the four substances listed will dissolve in water and why?
Orlov [11]

Answer:

Sugar, sodium chloride, and hydrophilic proteins are all substances that dissolve in water. Oils, fats, and certain organic solvents do not dissolve in water because they are hydrophobic.

And, water is called the "universal solvent" because it dissolves more substances than any other liquid. ... Water molecules have a polar arrangement of the oxygen and hydrogen atoms—one side (hydrogen) has a positive electrical charge and the other side (oxygen) had a negative charge.

I don't see any options so there i hope it helps .
