To produce 28.8 g of water 4.81 x 10²³ molecules of O₂ will be required

<h3>What is limiting reagent ?</h3>

The limiting reactant (or limiting reagent) is the reactant that gets consumed first in a chemical reaction and therefore limits how much product can be formed.

According to given equation;

2H₂ + O₂ ---> 2H₂O

If 36 g of H₂O (2 mole) is produced by 1 mole O₂ i.e, 32 gram.

Therefore, 28.8 g of H₂O is produced by ;

32/36 x 28.8 = 25.6 g of O₂

Number of molecules of O₂ = given weight / molecular weight x 6.023 x 10²³

= 25.6 / 32 x 6.023 x 10²³

= 4.81 x 10²³ molecules of O₂

Therefore,4.81 x 10²³ molecules of O₂ will be required to produce 28.8 g of water.

I WILL MAKE YOU BRAINLIEST ! :Which factor varies between the isotopes of an element?

FrozenT [24]

C. The neutron number.

An element is determined based on how many protons has, if the protons number change then you got a new element.

If the number of neuron change you got the same element except it will be a bit heavier or lighter if you are gaining or loosing neutrons. Those variations of an element are called the isotops of the element.

The protons and neutrons toghether form the nucleus of the atom that is heavy and dense as an elephant.

The electrons are light as fleas and stay on the shels of around the nucleus and if they are more then the number of protons they make the atom negatively charged and vice versa.

Imagine the following scenario involving marbles as "radioactive isotopes".

sveta [45]

Answer:

1 million years

Explanation:

The half life of a radioactive isotope refers to the time it takes for the radioactive isotope to decay to half of its original amount.

The half life of a radioactive isotope is independent of the amount of starting material. Hence, whether the amount of starting material is small or large, the half life of the substance remains the same.

Hence the half life of 2 green marbles and 500,000 green marbles is 1 million years.

A compound's molecular formula must always be different than the compound's empirical formula. TRUE FALSE

Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer: False

Explanation:

Molecular formula is the chemical formula which depicts the actual number of atoms of each element present in the compound.

Empirical formula is the simplest chemical formula which depicts the whole number of atoms of each element present in the compound.

Example: $CH_4$ has similar molecular formula and empirical formula as the elements are already present in simplest of the ratios.

$C_2H_2$ has molecular formula of $C_2H_2$ but $CH$ as the empirical formula.

What is an atom that has the same number of protons as other atoms of the same element, but has a different number of neutrons?

PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

isotopes

Atoms with the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons are called isotopes. Because the number of neutrons can vary for a given element, the mass numbers of different atoms of an element may also vary. For example, some helium atoms have three neutrons instead of two (these are called isotopes and are discussed in detail later on)
