Solid Silicon can be reacted with Nitrogen gas at a high temperature to form silicon nitride (Si3N4).
1.20 moles of Silicon are added to 1.00 moles of Nitrogen gas.
(5 Points) Balance the equation and indicate the phases.
Si (___) + N2 (___) → Si3N4 (___)
(5 Points) What is the limiting reactant? You must show your work.
Answer:
Explanation:
Oxidation:
Oxidation involve the removal of electrons and oxidation state of atom of an element is increased.
Reduction:
Reduction involve the gain of electron and oxidation number is decreased.
Oxidizing agents:
Oxidizing agents oxidize the other elements and itself gets reduced.
Reducing agents:
Reducing agents reduced the other element are it self gets oxidized.
Consider the following reaction:
2AgCl + Zn → 2Ag + ZnCl₂
In this reaction oxidation state of Zn on left side is 0 while on right side +2 so it gets oxidized and oxidation state of Ag on left side is +1 and on right side 0 so it get reduced.
4NH₃ + 3O₂ → 2N₂ + 6H₂O
In this reaction oxidation state of nitrogen on left side is -3 while on right side 0 so it gets oxidized and oxidation state of oxygen on left side is 0 and on right side -2 so it get reduced.
Fe₂O₃ + 2Al → Al₂O₃ + 2Fe
In this reaction oxidation state of iron on left side is +3 while on right side 0 so it gets reduced and oxidation state of Al on left side is 0 and on right side +3 so it get oxidized.
Answer:
The forward reaction is exothermic.
Explanation:
- Le Châtelier's principle states that when there is an dynamic equilibrium, and this equilibrium is disturbed by an external factor, the equilibrium will be shifted in the direction that can cancel the effect of the external factor to reattain the equilibrium.
- When the mixture turned darker brown, this means that the reaction is shifted towards the left direction (reactants side).
- The temperature is increased and the reaction shifted to the reverse direction, this means that the forward direction is exothermic.
- Exothermic reaction releases heat and when increasing the temperature, the reaction will be shifted to the reverse direction to suppress the effect of increasing the temperature.
- <em>So the right choice is: The forward reaction is exothermic. </em>
