Taking into account the reaction stoichiometry, the theorical yield for the reaction is 8.0467 grams of NH₃.

<h3>Reaction stoichiometry</h3>

In first place, the balanced reaction is:

3 H₂ + N₂ → 2 NH₃

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:

  • H₂: 3 moles
  • N₂: 1 mole
  • NH₃: 2 moles

The molar mass of the compounds is:

  • H₂: 2 g/mole
  • N₂: 28 g/mole
  • NH₃: 17 g/mole

Then, by reaction stoichiometry, the following mass quantities of each compound participate in the reaction:

  • H₂: 3 moles ×2 g/mole= 6 grams
  • N₂: 1 mole ×28 g/mole= 28 grams
  • NH₃: 2 moles ×17 g/mole= 34 grams

<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 28 grams of N₂ reacts with 6 grams of H₂, 10.4 grams of N₂ reacts with how much mass of H₂?

mass of H_{2} =\frac{10.4 grams of N_{2}x 6 grams of H_{2} }{28 grams of N_{2}}

<u><em>mass of H₂= 2.2286 grams</em></u>

But 2.2286 grams of H₂ are not available, 1.42 grams are available. Since you have less mass than you need to react with 10.4 grams of N₂, H₂ will be the limiting reagent.

<h3>Definition of theorical yield</h3>

The theoretical yield is the amount of product acquired through the complete conversion of all reagents in the final product, that is, it is the maximum amount of product that could be formed from the given amounts of reagents.

<h3>Theoretical yield in this case</h3>

Considering the limiting reagent, the following rule of three can be applied: if by reaction stoichiometry 6 grams of H₂ form 34 grams of NH₃, 1.42 grams of H₂ form how much mass of NH₃?

mass of NH_{3} =\frac{1.42 grams of H_{2} x 34 grams of NH_{3}}{6grams of H_{2} }

<u><em>mass of NH₃= 8.0467 grams</em></u>

Then, the theorical yield for the reaction is 8.0467 grams of NH₃.

How well did tossing the pennies simulate half lives?
SSSSS [86.1K]
Its a 50% chance that approx 1/2 of the pennies will land on tails. The next toss will result the same. and so on and so on. showing how a reaction would slowly eliminate 1/2 of the remaining lives per reaction, until nothing is left. I think it is a good stimulation.

A solution is prepared by dissolving 27.7 g of cacl2 in 375 g of water. the density of the resulting solution is 1.05 g/ml. the
bagirrra123 [75]
The answer is 6.88.
Solution:
We can calculate for the percent composition of CaCl2 by mass by dividing the mass of the CaCl2 solute by the mass of the solution and then multiply by 100. The total mass of the resulting solution is the sum of the mass of CaCl2 solute and the mass of water solvent. Therefore, the percent composition of CaCl2 by mass is 
     % by mass = (mass of the solute / mass of the solution)*100 
                        = mass of solute / (mass of the solute + mass of the solvent)*100
                        = (27.7 g CaCl2 / 27.7g + 375g) * 100 
                        = 6.88

The emission spectrum of hydrogen shows discrete, bright, colored lines. Which characteristic of the Bohr model is best supporte
natali 33 [55]
The characteristic of the Bohr model that would best support his observation is this assumption: "The energy of the electron in an orbit is proportional to its distance from the nucleus. The further the electron is from the nucleus, the more energy it has." The discrete, bright, colored lines might represent the electrons and its distance from the nucleus. The lights are caused by the energy it has.

How is technology useful and how is it harmful
Lelu [443]

Explanation:

The aggregation of methods used in order to accomplish a goal is called technology.

Whether technology is used to accomplish a goal which society does not deem acceptable then the goal is bad. The same technology can be used to do good. So, the question whether technology is harmful or useful depends on the goal a person wasts to acheive.

Let us take an example

The internet is one of the greatest discoveries of mankind which allows people access to unlimited information. It can be used for a variety of different services such buying goods and services. However, the internet is also a technology that facilitates illegal activities that circumvents government intervention. This way of technology being used is harmful.
