Answer:

The Oxygen

Explanation:

When fire is covered, it goes out due to the lack of oxygen to maintain itself.

The limiting reactant in the experiment of the burning candle is oxygen.

<h3>What is a limiting reactant?</h3>

A limiting reactant is a reactant which determines the amount of product that ca be formed in a given reaction.

The limiting reactant is always used up in a reaction, after which the reaction stops.

In the experiment of the burning candle, covering the candle with the glass prevents more oxygen from taking part in the reaction.

Therefore, the limiting reactant is oxygen.

Ammonium phosphate nh43po4 is an important ingredient in many fertilizers. it can be made by reacting phosphoric acid h3po4 with
Tom [10]
The reaction between phosphoric acid and ammonia that produces ammonium phosphate can be written as follows:
3NH3 + H3PO4 ..................> (NH4)3PO4

From the periodic table:
molar mass of nitrogen = 14 grams
molar mass of hydrogen = 1 grams
molar mass of oxygen = 16 grams
molar mass of phosphorus = 30.9 grams

based on this:
molar mass of 3NH3 = 3 (14 + 3(1)) = 51 grams
molar mass of H3PO4 = 3(1) + 30.9 + 4(16) = 97.9 grams
molar mass of  (NH4)3PO4 = 3 (14 + 4(1)) + 30.9 + 4(16) = 54 + 30.9 + 64
                                            = 148.9 grams

Therefore, 97.9 grams of phosphoric acid is required to produced 148.9 grams of ammonium phosphate.
Thus, to know the mass of ammonium phosphate produced from 4.9 grams of phosphoric acid, we will simply use cross multiplication as follows:
amount of produced ammonium phosphate = (4.9 x 148.9) / 97.9 = 7.45 g

1) A mixture of anhydrous sodium carbonate and sodium hydrogencarbonate of mass 10.000 g was heated until it reached a constant
vodomira [7]

The masses of the components are obtained as;

  • Sodium hydrogen carbonate = 3.51 g
  • Sodium carbonate =  8.708 g
<h3>What is decomposition?</h3>

The term decomposition has to do with the breakdown of the given substance into its components. The components of sodium hydrogen carbonate could be identified as water vapor, carbon dioxide gas and sodium carbonate. Among these products that have been listed here, we can see that it is only the sodium carbonate that remains as a solid. The others are gases that move away from the system that is under study.

Now putting down the equation of the reaction, we have;

2NaHCO_{3} (s) ----- > Na_{2} CO_{3} (s) + CO_{2} (g) + H_{2} O(g)

Now, the loss in  mass must be due to the carbon dioxide and the water. Hence we obtain the loss in mass to be 10.000 g -  8.708 g = 1.292 g

Mass of sodium hydrogen carbonate = 2 * 88 g/mol * 1.292 g/62 g/mol

= 3.51 g

Explain why an atom can only emit specific wavelengths of light and not every possible wavelength
ella [17]

Answer:

<em>The electrons in an atom can only occupy certain allowed energy levels to a lower one</em>, the excess energy is emitted as a photon of light, with its wavelength dependent on the change in electron energy. This is why an atom can only emit specific wavelengths of light and not every possible wavelength.
