Answer:

Excess Reagent = oxygen

Explanation:

Limiting reagent: The substance that is totally consumed when the reaction is completed.

Excess reagent: The substance left after the limiting reagent is consumed completely

The balanced chemical equation for formation of water is as follow:

$2H_{2}+O_{2}\rightarrow 2H_{2}O$

This means when 2 moles of hydrogen reacts with 1 mole of oxygen, 2 moles of water is produced.

Hence the ratio in which hydrogen and oxygen gas reacts is 2:1

Now if 2 mole hydrogen require 1 mole of oxygen ,then 4 mole hydrogen need 2 mole of oxygen.

$H_{2}:O_{2}=2:1$

$H_{2}:O_{2}=4:2$

Here 5 mole of oxygen is reacting but only 2 mole is required .

Oxygen is in excess.

Answer:

The discipline of Earth and space science is concerned with the study of the planets and stars is

A. Astronomy

Explanation:

A.Astronomy:

'Astron' means stars and 'nomos' means laws. So astronomy is the study of stars , planets and space

B. biology

It is derived from Greek word : 'Bios' means life and 'logos' means study.

Biology is study of life, living organism ,structure of organisms,evolution

The combustion of acetylene gas is represented by this equation: 2C2H2(g) + 5O2(g) → 4CO2(g) + 2H2O(g)

MAVERICK [17]

Answer:

Approximately $2.46\; \rm mol$ .

Explanation:

Make use of the molar mass data ( $M({\rm C_2H_2}) = 26.04\; \rm g \cdot mol^{-1}$ ) to calculate the number of moles of molecules in that $64.0\; \rm g$ of $\rm C_2H_2$ :

$\begin{aligned}n({\rm C_2H_2}) &= \frac{m({\rm C_2H_2})}{M} \\ &= \frac{64.0\; \rm g}{26.04\; \rm g\cdot mol^{-1}}\approx 2.46\; \rm mol\end{aligned}$ .

Make sure that the equation for this reaction is balanced.

Coefficient of $\rm C_2H_2$ in this equation: $2$ .

Coefficient of $\rm H_2O$ in this equation: $2$ .

In other words, for every two moles of $\rm C_2H_2$ that this reaction consumes, two moles of $\rm H_2O$ would be produced.

Equivalently, for every mole of $\rm C_2H_2$ that this reaction consumes, one mole of $\rm H_2O$ would be produced.

Hence the ratio: $\displaystyle \frac{n({\rm H_2O})}{n({\rm C_2H_2})} = \frac{2}{2} = 1$ .

Apply this ratio to find the number of moles of $\rm H_2O$ that this reaction would have produced:

$\begin{aligned}n({\rm H_2O}) &= n({\rm C_2H_2}) \cdot \frac{n({\rm H_2O})}{n({\rm C_2H_2})} \\ &\approx 2.46\; \rm mol \times 1 = 2.46\; \rm mol\end{aligned}$ .

Which of the following is a strong acid?

Leokris [45]

Answer:

A) HCI( hydrochloric acid)

Explanation:

HCI is a strong acid because it has more number of hydrogen ions whereas acetic acid contains less number of hydrogen ions so its a weak acid

How is a scientific experiment different from other investigations

EleoNora [17]

To start one difference between the two is that a scientific experiment is meant to be repeated and to be formed into a theory and/or a scientific law. Scientific experiments also use different types of data, for instance, you could be recording how much a plant grows in a month, in an experiment you would focus on the types of soil being used. In an investigation you would observe how tall the plant actually grew.
