Sodium(Na) is the limiting reagent.

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

The reactant that is totally consumed during a reaction, or the limiting reagent, decides when the process comes to an end. The precise quantity of reactant required to react with another element may be estimated from the reaction stoichiometry.

How do you identify a limiting reagent?

The limiting reactant is the one that is consumed first and sets a limit on the quantity of product(s) that can be produced. Calculate how many moles of each reactant are present and contrast this ratio with the mole ratio of the reactants in the balanced chemical equation to get the limiting reactant.

Start by writing the balanced chemical equation that describes this reaction

2Na_{(s)} + Cl_{2 (g)} -- > 2NaCl_{(s)}

Notice that the reaction consumes 2 moles of sodium metal for every 1 mole of chlorine gas that takes part in the reaction and produces 2 moles of sodium chloride.

now we can see that we have 3 moles of sodium and 3 moles of chlorine, according to question. so, we can say that sodium is the limiting reagent in the given situation.

The balanced equation for a hypothetical reaction is a + 5b + 6c → 3d + 3e. what is the rate law for this reaction? rate = k [a]
nekit [7.7K]

<u>Answer: </u>The correct rate of the reaction is Rate=k[a][b]^5[c]^6

<u>Explanation:</u>

Rate law of the reaction is the expression which expresses the rate of the reaction in the terms of the molar concentrations of the reactants with each term raised to the power of their respective stoichiometric coefficients in a balanced chemical equation.

For the given reaction:

a+5b+6c\rightarrow 3d+3e

The expression for the rate law will be: Rate=k[a][b]^5[c]^6

Is weathering long term or short term and why​
Marrrta [24]
Long term because if you leave something out to be weathered then it can’t be unweathered because of the drastic change of the object.

What is the formula unit for a compound made from Fe3+ and oxygen?
Alexeev081 [22]
Fe2O3 because O has a -2 charge and Fe and +3, you want the charges to equal each other so if you have 2 Fe with +3 charge the charge becomes 6 if you have 3 O with -2 charge the charge becomes 6.
