Taking into account the reaction stoichiometry, P₄ will be the limiting reagent.

<h3>Reaction stoichiometry</h3>

In first place, the balanced reaction is:

8 P₄ + 3 S₈ → 8 P₄S₃

By reaction stoichiometry (that is, the relationship between the amount of reagents and products in a chemical reaction), the following amounts of moles of each compound participate in the reaction:

  • P₄: 8 moles
  • S₈: 3 moles
  • P₄S₃: 8 moles

<h3>Limiting reagent</h3>

The limiting reagent is one that is consumed first in its entirety, determining the amount of product in the reaction. When the limiting reagent is finished, the chemical reaction will stop.

<h3>Limiting reagent in this case</h3>

To determine the limiting reagent, it is possible to use a simple rule of three as follows: if by stoichiometry 3 moles of S₈ reacts with 8 moles of P₄, 4 moles of S₈ reacts with how many moles of P₄?

moles of P_{4} =\frac{4 moles of S_{8} x8 moles of P_{4} }{3 moles of S_{8}}

<u><em>moles of P₄= 10.667 moles</em></u>

But 10.667 moles of P₄ are not available, 4 moles are available. Since you have less amount of moles than you need to react with 4 moles of S₈, P₄ will be the limiting reagent.

The electron configuration of bromine is 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s2 3d10 4p5 classify electrons in each.
bulgar [2K]

Bromine has the following electron configuration: 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s2 3d10 4p5. categorize the electrons in each. Answer for video: The video player is loaded.

On the periodic chart, row 5, column 7, is where you can find a chemical element that was identified in 1811. It has a proton count of 53 and an atomic mass of 126.9. Iodine's atom, then, contains 53 electrons in the following configuration: 1s2, 2s2, 2p6, 3s2, 3d10, 4p6, 5s2, 4d10, 5p5 (Kr 4d10 5s2 5p5). Cu Z = 29 has an electrical arrangement of 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 3d10 4s1. Copper (Co) has the following electron configuration: 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s3 3p6 4s2 3d7. If a chemist were to refer to Copper by its subshell, they would abbreviate this notation to "3d7."
