Since it is stated that nitrogen is the limiting reactant (sometimes called limiting reagent), you only have to worry about the amount of nitrogen since we know that there is excess silicon.
Since this is a stoichiometry question, the first thing to do is turn the mass of nitrogen gas into moles by dividing the mass of nitrogen gas by its molar mass.  (14.33g)/(28g/mol)=0.5118mol nitrogen gas.  Then you have to convert moles of nitrogen gas to moles of silicon nitride by using the fact that 2 moles of nitrogen gas turn into 1 mole of silicon nitride (i got that ratio from the chemical equation given).  (0.511mol N₂)x(1mol Si₃N₄/2mol N₂)=0.2555mol Si₃N₄.  Know you just need to find the mass of silicon nitride by multiplying the number of moles of silicon nitride by its molar mass.  (0.2555mol)x(140g/mol)=35.85g
Therefore the amount of silicon nitride produced from this reaction 35.85g.

I hope this helps

In a solution of pure water, the dissociation of water can be expressed by the following: H2O(l) + H2O(l) ⇌ H3O+(aq) + OH−(aq) T
kakasveta [241]

Answer:

  • [H₃O⁺] = 2.90 × 10⁻¹⁰ M

Explanation:

1)<u><em> Ionization equilibrium equation: given</em></u>

  • H₂O(l) + H₂O(l) ⇌ H₃O⁺(aq) + OH⁻(aq)

2) <em><u>Ionization equilibrium constant, at 25°C, Kw: given</u></em>

  • Kw = 1.0 × 10⁻¹⁴

<u>3) Stoichiometric mole ratio:</u>

As from the ionization equilibrium equation, as from the fact it is stated, the concentration of both ions, at 25°C, are equal:

  • [H₃O⁺(aq)] = [OH⁻(aq)] = 1.0 × 10⁻⁷ M

  • ⇒ Kw = [H3O⁺] [OH⁻] = 1.0 × 10⁻⁷  × 1.0 × 10⁻⁷  = 1.0 × 10⁻¹⁴ M

<u><em>4) A solution has a [OH⁻] = 3.4 × 10⁻⁵ M at 25 °C </em></u><em><u>and you need to calculate what the [H₃O⁺(aq)] is.</u></em>

Since the temperature is 25°, yet the value of Kw is the same, andy you can use these conditions:

  • Kw = 1.0 × 10⁻¹⁴ M², and

  • Kw = [H3O⁺] [OH⁻]

Then you can substitute the known values and solve for the unknown:

  • 1.0 × 10⁻¹⁴ M² = [H₃O⁺] × 3.4 × 10⁻⁵ M

  • ⇒ [H₃O⁺]  = 1.0 × 10⁻¹⁴ M² / ( 3.4 × 10⁻⁵ M ) = 2.9⁻¹⁰ M

As you see, the increase in the molar concentration of the ion [OH⁻] has caused the decrease in the molar concentration of the ion [H₃O⁺], to keep the equilibrium law valid.

Is the sky actually blue?
Mkey [24]

Answer:

When we look at an arbitrary point in the sky, away from the sun, we see only the light that was redirected by the atmosphere into our line of sight. Because that occurs much more often for blue light than for red, the sky appears blue. Violet light is actually scattered even a bit more strongly than blue.

En un experimento hacemos reaccionar 12 g de carbono con 32 g de oxígeno para formar dióxido de carbono. Razona si podemos saber
max2010maxim [7]

Answer:

La masa de óxido de carbono iv formado es 44 g.

Explanation:

En esta pregunta, se nos pide calcular la masa de óxido de carbono iv formado a partir de la reacción de masas dadas de carbono y oxígeno.

En primer lugar, necesitamos escribir una ecuación química equilibrada.

C + O2 → CO2

De la ecuación, 1 mol de carbono reaccionó con 1 mol de oxígeno para dar 1 mol de óxido de carbono iv.

Ahora, si marca las masas en la pregunta, verá que corresponde a la masa atómica y la masa molar de la molécula de carbono y oxígeno, respectivamente. ¿Qué indica esto?

Como tenemos una relación molar de 1: 1 en todo momento, lo que esto significa es que la masa de óxido de carbono iv producida también es la misma que la masa molar de óxido de carbono iv.

Por lo tanto, procedemos a calcular la masa molar de óxido de carbono iv Esto es igual a 12 + 2 (16) = 12 + 32 = 44 g Por lo tanto, la masa de óxido de carbono iv formado es 44 g

Explain why a fluorescent light bulb is not as hot as an incandescent light bulb.
Jet001 [13]

An incandescent bulb becomes hotter than a fluorescent bulb when turned on because in a regular incandescent bulb, there is tungsten wire where electricity is converts into heat. A regular incandescent light bulb requires 4 times more energy than a fluorescent bulb in order to produce the same amount of light. The conversion is such that for a 75-watt bulb, temperature get raised to approximately 2000 K. For such a high temperature, the radiating energy from the wire have some visible light. In such bulbs, 90% of the electricity get consumed in producing heat and only 10% produces light thus, they are not much efficient source of light.

On the other hand, fluorescent bulbs produce light with less amount of heat. In them, 40% of electricity is consumed in producing light and 60% in heat which is very less as compared to heat produced by a incandescent bulb. This is because when it get turned on, mercury atoms inside the bulb collides with electrons and produce UV light  which is then converted into visible light using thin layer of phosphor power present inside the bulb. This produces low amount of heat thus, the bulb stays cooler, the bigger size of bulb also helps in dispersing heat.

Therefore, a fluorescent light bulb is not as hot as an incandescent light bulb.
