Which statement is true about limiting reactants?

Chemistry

Ans: B). The limiting reactant in a reaction is the first reactant to be completely converted to products.

In a chemical reaction, the limiting reagent is one with a lower number of moles. Thus, the limiting reactant will be consumed first and will dictate the amount of product that can be formed.

For example consider the reaction between 1 g of Mg and 2 g of O to form MgO

2Mg + O_{2} ---- 2MgO

# moles of Mg = \frac{mass of Mg}{atomic mass of Mg} = \frac{ 1 g}{24 g.mol-1} = 0.042 moles

# moles of Oxygen = \frac{mass of oxygen}{molar mass} = \frac{2}{32} =0.063 moles

since moles of Mg is less than that of oxygen, Mg will be the limiting reactant. Thus, it will be consumed first and will be completely converted into MgO.

In a titration experiment, hcl and lioh solutions were used. the initial volume of hcl was 1.25ml and lioh was 2.65 ml. the fina
aliya0001 [1]
Answer is: <span>the molarity of HCl is </span>0.097 M.
Chemical reaction: LiOH + HCl → LiCl + H₂O.
V(HCl) = 13.60 mL - 1.25 mL = 12.35 mL.
V(LiOH) = 11.20 mL - 2.65 mL = 8.55 mL.
c(LiOH) = 0.140 M.
From chemical reaction: n(LiOH) : n(HCl) = 1 : 1.
c(HCl) · V(HCl) = c(LiOH) · V(LiOH).
c(HCl) = 8.55 mL · 0.140 M / 12.35 mL.
c(LiOH) = 0.097 M.

why would it not be necessary to heat the air in the balloon as much if the air outside the balloon is colder?
RUDIKE [14]

Hot-air balloons float because the air caught inside the balloon is heated up by a burner, making it less dense than the air outside. As the burner heats the air, it expands and some of the air escapes; that's what makes it less dense

Give the number of protons, neutrons and electrons in 99Tc
miss Akunina [59]

Explanation:

Tc - 99 is technetium 99.

It is a radioactive element that decays spontaneously. It has a half-life of 211,000 years and decays to stable ruthenium.

  • On the periodic table, it has an atomic number of 43;

Mass number  = 99

Atomic number = number of protons = number of electrons in atom

  Number of protons in Tc is 43

                      electron is 43

Mass number = number of protons + number of neutrons

  Number of neutrons = mass number - number of protons = 99-43 = 56
