Citric acid has the molecular formula C6H8O7 so you can add the molar masses of the elements from the periodic table. C has a molar mass of 12.01 g/mol, H has 1.01 g/mol and O has 15.999 g/mol. Now you calculate the total molar mass= (6*12.01 + 8*1.01 + 7*15.999). This yields a molar weight of 192.124 g/mol (anhydrous)
HCl is the limiting reactant, and 3.5 mol H2<span> can be formed</span>
Answer:
- <u>two molecules of ammonia are formed by the reaction of one nitrogen and three hydrogen molecules.</u>
Explanation:
The balanced chemical equation provides information on:
- <u>Reactants</u>: those are the compounds that appear of the left side of the equation, each with its chemical formula.
- <u>Products</u>: those are the compounds that appear on the right side of the equation, again, each with its chemical formula.
- <u>Ratio</u>: the coefficients of each compound (the number to the left of the chemical formula) represent the ratio of the number of molecules that react and are formed.
In the given equation you have:
- Equation: N₂ + 3H₂ → 2NH₃
- The coefficients are 1 for nitrogen, 3 for hydrogen, and 2 for ammonia. Hence, 2 molecules of ammonia are formed by the reaction of 1 molecule of nitrogen and 3 molecules of hydrogen.
